Air-Conditioning

It’s frustrating to find out that your Dyson fan is no longer rotating. Obviously, how would you circulate the air in your room without this feature? Your Dyson fan may have stopped oscillating for several reasons. And usually, the issue is relatively easy to fix. Therefore, I will share with you the most common reasons why your Dyson fan isn’t oscillating, along with troubleshooting and fixing instructions. Quick answer: Dyson heaters usually don’t rotate if there’s still tape on your Dyson fan’s base body split section. Additionally, if the fan doesn’t fit right in its base and dust accumulates in the oscillation system (oscillation motor), the system won’t work and thus won’t oscillate. ...

How can you insulate a window air conditioner? Usually, the window kit that comes with a window AC does not fit perfectly and leaves room for heat to enter your room. So, let’s have a look at some improvements you can make to improve your window AC’s insulation (and, therefore, its cost-efficiency)! Quick answer: You can add insulation around a window AC by gluing styrofoam panels around the sides. To close all air gaps, use spray foam or foam tape. If available, close your outdoor shutters to reduce the amount of heat entering your room. ...

Window ACs are power-hungry! Even though they are one of the most-efficient AC types, their running cost adds up over time.

Running two portable air conditioners simultaneously on the same circuit is not a good practice, as it will increase energy consumption or may trip your circuit breaker. But still, if you want to run two portable ACs simultaneously, I’ll show you whether you can do it or not. Also, I’ll tell you an alternative to portable ACs that will consume less energy! Quick Answer: You can run two portable air conditioners at the same time on the same circuit if they do not draw current more than the ampere rating of the circuit (15A - 20A). A 15A circuit and 110V - 120V outlet voltage (US) will not support two portable air conditioners. On the other hand, you can easily run two portable air conditioners when the outlet voltage is 220V - 230V (Europe and UK) and the circuit ampere rating is 15A - 20A. ...

Here are the 5 quietest portable air conditioners between 47dB and 52dB. You’ll find all cooling capacities between 8,000 BTU and 14,000 BTU.

Many people are confused about which type of portable air conditioner to buy. If you are also questioning whether to buy a single-hose or dual-hose AC, here’s your answer: Dual-hose portable air conditioners are more efficient than single-hose as they don’t suck any outdoor air into the room due to negative pressure. A dual-hose unit is perfect for larger spaces because it can cool an area more quickly and efficiently than a single-hose AC. ...
