The oppressive heat is here so we found some great air conditioner deals
For people living in most of the U.S., summer has arrived with a bang. And by that, we mean oppressive summer temperatures are here, and they are sweltering. Many parts of the country have seen their temperatures soaring into the 80s, 90s or even triple digits, and with high humidity in the mix, suffice it to say, it’s pretty uncomfortable out there if you don’t have air conditioning. When it gets this hot, it can be hard to even find an air conditioner — let alone get a good deal on one. But Best Buy has both window units and portable air conditioners on sale right now so you can cool down and save.
