The LG window unit works well enough to keep the shelter cool. The transmitter runs at about 35% efficiency. The TPO is 470 watts, thus the transmitter puts out about 300 watts of heat into the room continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather up here is great! Cape Vincent is a nice small village with some decent local businesses. Unfortunately, summer is their main focus and many of them have closed down for the season.
