Miller Air Conditioners
We are about to install a central air conditioner unit. The lowest quote we received is for a brand I never heard of. Has anyone any good/bad experience with “Miller” air conditioners. I think they are made by a company in MO. I had a Carrier in my old house which I sold, and never [...]
Portable air conditioners
I was noticing on Amazon.com that the portable air conditioners (that can be wheeled from room to room) have gone down in price.

Plumber’s traps for air conditioners
One thing that’s missing from many air conditioner installations is a plumber’s trap on the drain pipe.

How to Fix Air Conditioner?
I have an older 5000 BTU window A/C. It didn’t seem to be cooling much, so I checked it with my digital temp probe. I can hear the compressor running. Outside air temp was 82, and the air outlet tep was 70 deg.! I have recently cleaned it, so the air flow must be OK. [...]
Which is better-HEPA vacuum or HEPA Air cleaner?
First, regular vacuums, with bags, have problems stopping small particulate matter: dust, or any other small particles. The reason is simple; the bag must “breathe”. As the vacuum sucks in air, and particulate matter, the air has to exit through the bag, and the particles, hopefully, stay in the bag. (If the bag didn’t breathe, [...]
