Jerry & Ray, I have had positive results running my units while in route to Fla. as well as North & South Carolina. Of course we have not hit the triple digit temps that I have seen on the Weather Channel in the South West and West Coast. Good news Ray, you should be able to turn those units off when you get to New York. I lived in upstate NY for over 52 years and rarely had to use my AC units. Enjoy your trip. Ken
