Indoor air pollution If you think that only air conditioning part time is saving you money, you may have a different opinion after reading my post.
This air conditioner was cleaned about 2 years ago. Tenants think that opening windows to save money is a good idea. What they don't see is what happens to the inside of the air conditioner when it's exposed to the pollen, dust and EXCESSIVE humidity that they let in when they open windows. There is no doubt that what you see is black mold/mildew. I had to treat the A/C 5 times with bleach to get rid of it. The plastic squirrel cage was a mess, especially the back side.
Excessive humidity is pulled off the evaporator and sprayed all over the inside of A/C where it mixes with the pollen and dust creating black mold/mildew.
I did the math once and if my memory is right, it takes 11000 BTU of cooling to convert one gallon of humidity, moisture, to one gallon of water. If your window A/C drips water, collect the water in a 5 gallon bucket. You'll be amazed. So where is the savings by opening the windows??? In my opinion there is none. Not to mention the pollen issue. I never open windows during the cooling season. Not until later fall, winter, or early spring. I don't like pollen

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
