Beware of Air Conditioner Repair Scams!

This video is amazing. I was blown away. The big take away is that you need to be super careful with repair people if you're calling during a heat wave with an emergency. Also, make sure there is at least one man in the house to deal with the repair guys. I'm sure these guys feel they can rip off more because it's a women customer.

10,000 BTU Solar Window Unit Air Conditioner

This video is about a solar powered window air conditioner. The air conditioner is connected to three 180 watt solar panels. The array voltage is 96, amps are at 3.2, producing 315 watts.  The output power is 309 watts. The air conditioner produces 10,000 BTU. The unit has a Tri-star charge controller.  The unit also has a photovoltaic powered Lux sensor that lets the unit act like a hybrid car in that it can draw power from the grid when there is not enough sun light. The unit runs off of one battery that is kept charged. The end result is free air conditioning. Pretty amazing.

Solar Powered Air Conditioner

Did you know that there is a solar powered air conditioner available commercially today?  Neither did I. It's available in Australia for sure and perhaps other parts of the world as well. The Australians strike me as people who have a big incentive to master air conditioning as it's so hot there.

I just love the idea of a solar powered air conditioner. Power from the sun to run your air conditioner. Free and clean power from the sun to run your air conditioner. Skip all that old style dirty and expensive power and just go solar. Save a boatload of money along the way, what's not to like?

A Short History of Air Conditioning

This video is about the history of air conditioning. Willis Carrier is regarded as the "father" of air conditioning.  Mr. Carrier figured out how to help a then popular magazine (circa 1902) get it's July issue out without the colors running due to humidity. After this achievement, Mr. Carrier started an air conditioning company. Control humidity by controlling temperature was Mr. Carrier's big idea.

In the 1920s movie houses began promoting the benefits of air conditioning. By the 1950, window-based air conditioners were becoming common in homes. Before watching this video I had not realized the degree to which air conditioning changed society. The impact has been profound.

Managing Humidity to Improve Your Air Conditioning

Humidity saps the effectiveness of your air conditioner. During the warmer months of the year, this can be a real problem. You want to make sure the humidity level does not go above 60% or unwanted things will start growing and your air conditioner will stop working so well. One solution is to get a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers remove humidity from a given room or area. Be sure to get an energy star rated dehumidifier. The biggest benefit of a humidifier is that you will save money on your air conditioner. Check out the video for more information.
