Okay, to be even more clear than before, the reason I don't want to use an AC is because of the amount of electricity I'm going to be using. Let's say I go with a 5,000 BTU window unit that runs at 625 watts, pluss 4,450 watts worth of lights, I'm up at 5,075watts worth of electricity plus miscellaneous. I can keep the electricity I use around the house very low, but...I don't know anything about the way breakers work and while I'm almost positive the house can handle a 5000 watt load, I'm not sure if the outlets in the basement alone can (if this makes any sense). If you have knowledge on this stuff, feel free to enlighten me.
