Cool, arent they?
I used to use a window type Aircon (O General) and it used to work very well. But it wasn’t very efficient. We switched to Split Aircons and found that it’s a lot better because of the following –
1. No need to break the wall in your house or redo your windows to fit a Window Type Aircon.
2. A split aircon has a lot more features and can be fitted in the most desirable place in your room, as the outside unit can be fixed elsewhere and the aircon anywhere.
3. Splits are quite cheap now and can be got for almost the same price as a window type.
4. Splits are more Power efficient and less noisy and the compressor, etc are outside your room.
5. The airflow from a split is a lot better than a window and tends to cool the room faster.
6. Most splits come with a remote that can be used to time the aircon and is useful if you want to turn off the aircon at a specific time to save more power.
7. Splits come with Air cleaning technologies now, and the air can be more pure and less dry.
I hope this helps in your decision.
I want to know what part of a refridgerator or air conditioner is making stuff cold, like if you take it out, it won’t make cold any more. Is it a compressor? If you take that part out and you put a magnetron in it, it must make warm. What is that part??? HELP, PLZ!!

My mom has heart problems and needs the AC to be around the mid-sixties. We recently moved into an older house, and the air conditioner is polar when it comes to doing what it is expected to. It randomly stops being cold, and sometimes freezes up. I think we are putting more pressure on it than any other owner previously. It is in the eighties now, and I would just like some tips to make it work a bit better and more efficiently without the high cost of bringing a technician in.

most of the western countries have vacations or short working hours or even set their clock according to the seasons and weather, like in european countires they set back the clock by one hour in the winter season. why can not we in india follow something like this – say having holidays / half days working during the tiring heat of summer instead of people falling sick and taking compulsary sick leaves. as it is most of us could not afford airconditioners and when working we work in a very uncomfortable atmosphere. could someone take this further to the policy makers.
The air conditioner unit is hooked to the exterior wall of my house. Underneath the unit, I have sodded grass, as it is part of the lawn/garden. There is no way to mow the grass under the unit, as there is only few inches space between the bottom of the unit & the grass. Sometimes I do it with the trimmer but it does do a good job as the trimmer can not reach under the unit. I was thinking of removing the grass under the air conditioner unit & put something decorative which gives nice landscaping look and weeds, grass does not grow there anymore. Please advise the best possible solutions
SEER = Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.
It is used to measure the efficiency of the unit.
It is an average of the efficiency over the entire year for heat pumps.
Air conditioners are rated by EER Energy efficiency ratio.
Both are basically derived by dividing the capacity of the unit by the number of watts it averages at standard temperatures
For ease of math …say you have a 2.5 ton a/c that gives a standard capacity of 30,000 BTUs and it uses 3000 watts to do the job.
30000/3000 = 10 so the EER of the unit is 10
30000/2307= 13 so the eer is 13
30000/2142= 14 so the EER is 14
13 vs 14 = 165 watts
At 10 cents per Kilowatt hour we have a whopping 1.65 cents per hour savings so if the system runs 18 hours per day we save 29 cents.
There is actually not a lot of actual difference between a 13 vs 14 ect when you do the actual math but the price differences can “curle your hair” . I live in Ga and most of the power companies that do the energy audits say that 13 is plenty efficient for the average homeowner when cost of equipment and maintainance are taken into consideration. You have to consider that 2 years ago anything 13 seer was considered “high end” and priced as premium over the standard 10 seer which the power companies said was plenty efficient for the average homeowner.
The major difference is that the 13 seer stuff is now considered standard and has few “bells and whistles” While the higher end stuff have lots of goodies added on to make you feel like you are getting something special ( and you may be) but its sort of the difference between the old Chevy and the sportier version. For reliability go low and slow …..for impressing the neighbors go high end and save about 10$ a month on your utility bills while you spend thousands more.
Hey guys, my window unit air conditioner is acting like it wants to blow a fuse every now and then. Mostly, it does it after is has been on all day, and when I decide to turn in from medium cool to low, which I do at night. It doesn’t do it every night either, but it has really came to bug me. It has been going on off and on for about 2 weeks. Any ideas? If it’s breaking, how long do I have? I’m hoping it won’t die until it cools off anyway!
