We were disappointed to receive a Made In China product. The description online clearly stated that it's made in the USA, and I even contacted an agent before purchasing to confirm that. The AC arrived with some minor scratches, which is only cosmetics. It would have been fine except the outer box clearly stated made in China, and also the AC itself! We had to request a return and ordered another brand which is also supposedly Made In USA. Let's see if it's true as described... so far so good so far very satisified.

rather noisy, but can tolerate. we have large upstairs bedroom and it cools it down. Just installed and it doesnt work! I received this unit earlier in July and finally found someone to pay to install it for me. The unit doesn't work at all. I looked in the box and either oil or freon had leaked out of the unit into the box. Now I will have to pay someone to remove the unit so I can return it. In the mean time, it's nearly 100 degrees outside and I am without a/c. Not happy with Overstock right now! I PURCHASED (2) TWO HAIER AIR CONDITIONERS, THEY ARE SERVING THE PURPOSE I BOUGHT THEM FOR, KEEPING MY HOME COOL. IT IS WORKING WONDERFULLY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS AIR CONDITIONER TO ANYONE INTERESTED.Replacing the capacitor in a window air conditioner is no a difficult task but car must taken so no harm is done to yourself or the unit. If you have no experience in HVAC, electrical, or other equivalent background it would be best to buy a new unit since high voltage is fed into the capacitor.

Most all air conditioning systems use large capacitors to help the compressor start and the condensing fan motor. There are different engineering solutions in some cases but most will use a capacitor to either help start a component or help it run evenly with no high or low spikes.how do i find out how big my ac unit is Most units will use a Dual Round capacitor that is two capacitors in one package. green ac unitThis is done to save on space as two separate capacitors would take up more space.ac unit in window Symptoms of a bad capacitor include the compressor not starting or the condensing fan not coming on. The capacitor needs to be tested using a multi-meter that is cable of reading micro-farads. Before testing or working with the capacitor be sure the unit is unplugged and discharge it as it can still hold a charge that can give a shock even while not plugged in.

Discharging the capacitor is done by grounding a leg of a wire and touching each leg of the Cap for 3-5 seconds making sure it is drained of any charge. If you have no experience draining a capacitor call a professional. Once the unit has been unplugged and capacitor no longer has a charge it can be removed to see what micro-farads it is rated to use. The Cap will give its value in Micro-Farads. Dual Rounds give two values such as 35uF and 5uF. The higher value will always be for the compressor while the lower value for the fan. Before testing it or replacing the CAP be sure to label the wires and take pictures so the correct leads go back to the correct legs. Most Dual Round Caps have a “H” for the compressor, “C” for common, and “F” for fan, again these can vary from manufacture. A multi meter capable of reading the capacitors values must be used to get accurate measurement. These types of meters are used by HVAC and electricians technicians.

Read here for more on HVAC capacitors testing and replacement. Once a capacitor is found to be bad it must be replaced. The values on the capacitor including micro farads and voltage must match the one being replaced. Iconic One Theme | I have an old Hussmann refrigerator with two sliding glass doors, that was originally used as a refrigerated produce case in a grocery store (I use it to store eggs from my free-range egg farm). This was a nice unit in its day -- it's built like a battleship -- but its refrigeration unit is shot, and was an inefficient dinosaur even when it ran properly. These old refrigerators are good news/bad news. The good news is that their crummy refrigeration units mean that they cost almost nothing. The bad news is that hteir crummy refrigeration units mean that they're worth almost nothing. After having mine repaired twice at about $350 each time, I took the advice of the HVAC "Get a window air conditioner, replace the thermostat so you can turn it down to 40 F, and

stick it in the side of the refrigerator." So I did just that. For $179, I got a new 7,500 BTU air conditioner. I cut a rectangular hole in the side of the refrigerator with a saber saw and installed it, sealing the edges with aluminum Window air conditioners are cheap, efficient, quiet, and lightweight. You can install them yourself if you know how to saw a rectangular hole in the side of a big metal box and how to do simple wiring. For my purposes, the smallest unit I could find was actually too big, and I ran it on "low" most of theI would have been better off with a little 5,000 BTU unit for my 50 cubic-foot refrigerator. You could probably run a small walk-in cooler on a larger window air conditioner! The only thing you have to modify is the thermostat. Simply replace the original one with one that will go down to refrigerator temperatures. Consumer air conditioners are very flimsy inside. The unit I bought had ducting made out of paper-thin styrofoam.

What you'll want is a line-voltage thermostat with a remote probe, that goes down to 40 F or so, such as the #CR2147 from Put the remote probe right against the cooling fins, which is where the original thermostat is. This is the best method, since if the unit ices up, so will the thermostat probe, and 32 F is cold enough to turn the unit off until it defrosts. On my installation, I used a thermostat without a remote probe, and sometimes it would ice upIt did this less if I hung it so that some cold air blew over the probe. Depending on the unit, the thermostat may be on push-on connectors, or you may have to cut the wires and use wire nuts. The thermostat should be set up so the contacts are closed when the temperature is high, and open when it's cold enough. In general, a refrigerator is just a big insulated box, so you can saw holes in it wherever you want. However, there might be heater cable here and there to prevent the unit from freezing up, and wires to run

fluorescent lights and such. These are usually in obvious places, but unplug the unit before using theIf you find any severed wires, you have the choice of not using the fancy-pants features like lights and defrosters, or opening up the junction box and disconnecting anything you broke. have to do this anyway if you want to keep the lights and stuff, since you'll have to disconnect the old refrigeration unit. Don't bother removing the old refrigeration unit, fans, or anything else you're not using. not doing any harm. The air conditioner will drip on the outside with water it's condensed out of the cold air. Brush or blow the crud out of the air conditioner once in a while. My unit died suddenly after four years of continuous operation, which was about whatThe original unit never lasted more than a year without needing $350 worth of repairs. With a more critical operation, I could have bought a spare air conditioner, or even cut a second
