Which is more costeffective, running an air conditioner or 3 large fan and a dehumidifyer?

I have an air conditioner that we pulled out of storage; help cool off the living room, where it's mounted, but not the rest of the apartments, especially the bedrooms, even when we make tracks the doors open. It's older and doesn't appear to hold an energy saver setting on it.

Would it be more or smaller quantity expensive just running three fans (one surrounded by the living room and one in each bedroom) and I don`t know a dehumidifyer (obviously to make it less muggy contained by the apartment) and just keep the heavens conditioner off all together?

a dehumidifier uses as much power as an air conditioner, since it's basically equal thing.

one air conditioner will not be capable of cool "other apartments" unless it's sized right. figure 5 thousand BTU cooling per room.

Well...the fans will generate grill,so will the dehumidifier. If there is no way to remove the grill..it will just get hotter.
Check out Walmart and Lowes or Home Depot. They own 5000btu window units for smaller amount that $80. Each one will cool a room. If each room has a window--I would put a fanlight unit in it.
These strange units are very streamlined., and they plug into regular house current -120vac. You may then need to use a lover to circulate the cooling.

it depends on your comfort level and where on earth you live. in texas, fans don't cut it. within the dep south, (us of a), you have high humidity and large heat. in phoenix, they can use evaporitive cooling due to the low humidity.

se if you can verbs the filter on the old unit and i would also suggest looking at another pane unit for the bed room, or maybe merely a bigger window unit. check the outlets and plugs for correct voltage befor you buy anything.

but it's really adjectives up to you and what you are comfortable with. most small inductive motors, (fans), dont use much electricty, but their power factor is very glorious. how that translates into watts aka kwatts, i'm not certain. i do know most modern appliances with inductive motors hold caps built in to lower their power factor. i don't know roughly 20.00 dollar box fans though.

window unit will use the most wattage though, (the evil compressor), so you want it to be as efficient as possible! check that filter and go see what else is avaliable. (check your outlets for vlotage since buying anything!)

one other thing. if your wiindow unit is never reaching a set point and cycling sour, well that's not good. see if you can find a mark plate on your unit and compare it to other new unit for your square footage. the point is, you should be able to be comfy and efficient near a mix of one window ac and a box/ceiling fan or two. GL near it!
