Popular in hospitals and hotels, PTACs/PTHPs are also great for offices and home renovations such as attic or garage conversions. Options like front-office control, wireless remote control capability, low and high temperature limits appeal to hotels, hospitals, and healthcare facilities. These thru-the-wall, hotel-style wall air conditioners feature built-in electric heaters and are 42” inches wide with a slim profile. Packaged Terminal Heat Pump Advantage: PTHP reverse cycle technology uses 30% less electricity than a PTAC. The savings are significant in heating applications. In moderate to severe climate zones requiring heat more than a few days a year, heat pumps are more cost-effective than a PTAC electric heat strip. We can all agree that, with the exception of rain or maybe money, anything that falls out of the New York City sky is probably not something you want to land in your salad or any of your face's mucus membranes. The cold facts are that it's probably bird poop or subway slime or airborne urine, and getting it in your eyeball will likely lead to death or at least a severe case of dropsy.

One of the few exceptions to this rule is air conditioner water, which, on days like today, tends to shower freely down from window units city-wide. Don't worry, though: Slate explains that of all the things that can and probably will poison you from on high, air conditioner water is probably not one of them. In most ways this water is exactly like rain (which also forms from condensed water vapor) or the moisture that collects on a cool can of soda, and it's typically no more harmful. Which rare cases, you ask? The article goes on to detail an instance in 1976, in which many attendees of the American Legion Convention held at Philadelphia's Bellevue-Stratford Hotel fell sick after bacteria-filled air flowed throughout the hotel's air conditioning system. The disease was henceforth known as "Legionnaires' disease," and it doesn't tend to thrive on smaller A/C units. It does, however, spread through a number of other fascinating conduits. According to the Mayo Clinic, you can still catch Legionnaire's from hot tubs and whirlpools on cruise ships, decorative fountains, physical therapy equipment, swimming pools and water systems in hotels, hospitals and nursing homes.
