We're in an old apartment - rickety wiring. The whole house is on two breakers.
We tried an air conditioner (it's hot, dammit) and we blow the breakers within 10-20 minutes (it's obviously close, but no cigar). Now here's the interesting thing: there's a 220 volt outlet (formerly for a dryer) in our back hallway. This is on its own circuit (it has to be right?) We'd need to run an extension cord something like 15' to get into the apartment proper (the kitchen), but I'm willing to put up with a little ugliness for a little corner of cool in the house. The portable air-conditioner we have would work fine in such a situation. I'm having trouble even finding 220 volt appliances and since we already have a new Air Conditioner that would work I'm hoping to just get an adapter to convert the existing 220 volt outlet to a 110 volt outlet. I think this is possible - at the very least there are all kinds of adapters to convert European 220 to American 110 (or vice versa). Does anybody know of what to ask for specifically? Better yet a specific brand or model number? When I Google this I'm getting 100's of European and Australian converters - I'm just looking for good ol' USA to good ol' USA.
