I had to pull the quilt up as I got too cold with our refrigerated system.
Pretty good, thanks for asking. Our unit is a year old and over sized for the house, had both bedroom windows open letting the air out and slept fine.
I guess that’s the main thing isn’t it, making sure you have a big enough unit for your house regardless of what type it is.
As noted in yesterdays heated (boom tish) discussion, most people have a dim view of evap units because they have experienced either A) very old units in action or B) poorly maintained units in action.
For instance, our old unit would dump water every 3 or 4 hours, a fairly substantial amount, enough so that I used to divert it onto my lawn, save wasting it.
Our new unit runs into a down pipe that hits my driveway and I've put a bowl from under a pot plant there to catch the water, local bird life loves it, yesterday the bowl was dry, I'd say the unit has been on since sometime Wednesday until this morning and I think it's dumped twice.
Far more efficient and effective.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
