How Can I Stop Insects From Coming Through the Window Air Conditioning Unit?
Seal it up good on the outside. They can not come in from the inside of the window unit
1. My outside air conditioning unit keeps tripping the circuit breaker.?
first check your warranty papers..most warranties cover both parts and labor.. some up to 10 years for parts and 5 years for labor or both parts and labor for 5 or 10 years. Might want to check all the wiring going to outside unit..unusual it would knock only at night when the unit is under less of a load because it would not need to run as much. Did you mean compressor needs to be replaced instead of condenser. You could also ask the tech if the unit has a hard start relay and a start capacitor . if not this might remedy the problem..this a different capacitor than the one he replaced already..some units have these already and some do not ..their is a hard start booster that is all self contained and can be installed on most any unit..it only has two wires looks like a black round tube with 2 wires to connect onto you compressors run capacitor (the item he already changed). It is still unusual though that the unit runs all day . kicks on/off multiple times then only kicks breaker at night when it should be kicking on/off less.
2. how will my window type air conditioning unit perform if the exterior/exhaust part is not on the outside wall?
That will adversely affect its operation and cause it to burn out much faster than it would otherwise. The outside part needs to be well ventilated so the hot air can be blown away
3. Do I need a permit of any kind to install a central air conditioning unit myself?
We had a replacement last month. In the mid-west, 1650 sq ft, got a 2 1/2 ton Trane installed (same ductwork) with 10 yr P/L warranty for just under 4 grand. Best advice, get at least 4-5 quotes, and use locals over the retail (Sears, etc.)
4. What can I do to cause my home air conditioning unit to totally quit?
Run it hard until it quits
5. Why is there a puddle of water around the air conditioning unit outside every time I use my heater.?
this is that earthy scent you the place going for eh? like the guy suggested it could be wonderful, yet because of the fact the airborne dirt and airborne dirt and mud works this is way into the fins of the evaporator and condenser, the cooling influence it has on the enclosure would be decreased particularly, because of the fact the extra air pass you have from the interior source, the extra useful the proses is. in case you desire to hold the unit lower back as much as finished par take a air compressor to the fins. All else do not have been affected as long because it did not get into the electrical powered touch field. good luck. .. lobo out.
6. My son is a mail carrier and it is so hot now....he really needs some type of small air conditioning unit he?
I would recommend going with the small fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter. This is practical if he uses his own vehicle (rural carrier) to deliver the mail. If he uses a postal owned truck, they have fans in them. Even with the fan on in one of their trucks, it is still too hot. I nearly suffocated last summer when I used one of the government trucks to carry part of a route. I actually have a fan in my Jeep located on the passenger (left) side visor. Another recommendation is that he speed up in the office, get out early, and deliver the route a little faster once he is on the street. That is what I try to do during the summer. Also, he needs to drink plenty of fluids (water) while he is out there. If he stops at a stop sign or at a red light in traffic, take a drink while he is stopped. When he gets out for a parcel, he can drink then. He could also stop at a store on the way back to the office and drink a 32 ounce bottle of gatorade while he is driving back to the office. Then drink a second gatorade once he is back at the office. If there is a store that sells gatorade on his route, he needs to buy one while he is in there. There are too many heat related accidents and issues during the summer. The best thing to do is to stay hydrated. I spend approximately 3 and a half to 4 hours a day on the street.
