RE: Air conditioners and Amazon - 3 un/related topics - kalakoa - 06-02-2018 glad to see the start up load was a non-issue (Some) modern aircon units have DC compressors.

RE: Air conditioners and Amazon - 3 un/related topics - terracore - 06-02-2018 "(Some) modern aircon units have DC compressors." I believe those are called inverter units? They are about 25% more energy efficient than what I have. The technology is only just now making it's way to window units, and the up-front cost isn't worth it yet. As I understand it, the compressors don't cycle, they increase or decrease as needed. "Tempting... But as soon as I got one, the SO would be running it every day, guaranteed!" We had to agree before purchase that barring an air emergency, we would only run it when we have sufficient solar power. ETA: inverter tech RE: Air conditioners and Amazon - 3 un/related topics - JohnDW - 06-02-2018 You might have a look at the Winix air purifier. The upside is it's relatively inexpensive,cheap to operate, quiet, zero installation hassles, three filters, two of which are washable; it definitely helps. Whether or not it does much good against some of the toxins we're now breathing is questionable however. We run it in the bedroom a few hours before we go in, and then through the night. A small but pleasant comfort. If I were a real capitalist I'd buy a couple of pallets and sell them at the Maku'u Market.

RE: Air conditioners and Amazon - 3 un/related topics - msky - 06-04-2018 I have the AC you describe. I don't use it, but got it for my brother who no longer needs it. I also have a dehumidifier and an Oxygen generator and two nebulizers. Let me know if you're interested and I'll post contact info.....you'll need to pick it up though.....it's kind of heavy for me. BTW....it's an LG I got at Home Depot. It wasn't used very much.
