Dripsnores house is 2600 square feet, HELLO? Heed it, and you all in responce are punting fools.

Like he hadn't wrangled the bestest win/win deal ever, just for you to marvel at his mastery, like it was a actually a discussion in the first place.

All I ask is you don't carpet the slab for the Carrier unit Droopy. That would be TOO much.

I live in south Texas where A/C runs 24/7..

Get an Oversized "Trane" bigger is always better..cools house down faster 7- 10 min and will run less all day that way. Dont go adequate...get bigger....more money up front..less monthly. It will pay itself off quickly. Take it from people who live in High Humidity and HEAT....

thats just my opinion...and my neighbors.

JUST AN OPINION PEOPLE!!!!!!

LOL:D

I always wanted a/c during the summer when I lived in Everett. Had to go to the mall or movie to cold down. I'd say it would be worth it even for the 2-3 months at year. But i got by. but here in Texas, you gotta had a/c. I even had to get the car a/c fixed since I moved here. I never really needed it till now.

Don't force me to post more pics Creamo, I'd hate to see you fall off that folding chair in your trailer :)

With all the tensions in the world today, we need our community to realize that we are an international community.

With that, an understanding must be reached, that the various people from around the world may not agree with any given position voiced in this forum.

We are sensitive to that and make every attempt to allow discussions to run their course. As with anything regarding politics or religion we expect heated debates, but there are boundaries and lately they have been crossed.

I do not care if you are never a customer of mine again, there are some things that are not debatable. Laughing at the death of any human being is not acceptable behavior. Anything that crosses over the line of basic decency will not be tolerated. If you have to ask what that means, then you should not be posting in this forum, at this time.

We purposely let behavior be much more slack in the O'Club than any other place on this board, but it is time to bring it up a level gentlemen.

Rip,

With skin as apparently as thin as yours, I don't see why you need A/C. ;)

LOL!  You quoted HT's post there, Rip.  Christ, I can't even begin to give you sh*t about that...it's just too much.  You are my hero, and I thank you for bringing much laughter into my life today...even if it was at your expense.  :D

PS...Yes, you can get a cover for the A/C unit, tho' I don't know if it is necessary (but it would keep debris from falling/blowing inside)

The most important thing to learn if you buy a superior brand air conditioning unit such as a Carrier is how to properly detail it.

Use a very mild soap for its wash and use a soft bristle toothbrush to clean in between the air intake vents. Pay special attention to the base of the unit as this is where dirt tends to pile up. For drying use a Chamois cloth- NEVER use a regular towel or you'll get lint from the towel inside the unit.

For waxing I hand apply Mothers' car wax, being careful to work the wax in a circular motion- NEVER straight back and forth. It's OK to use a machine buffer, but for the air intakes you'll have to wrap a cloth around the handle of your toothbrush to properly remove the wax.

For all the hoses and connectors I use STP's "Son Of A Gun" to maintain that like-new appearance. NEVER use Armor-All, as that will cause the hoses to eventually crack.

If you follow these instructions your air conditioning unit will maintain its resale value and be the envy of your neighbors- kinda like having the only working porch light during a power outtage. ;)

I have a matching bra on my air conditioner to guard against rocks, golf balls and bird droppings. Before I reapply the bra I vacuum the inside to prevent any dirt from scratching the finish of my air conditioner.

If any of you need help detailing your air conditioners bring them by my place and I'll put the products on for you, but you have to take them off.

Some day I'd like to start an air conditioning detail business as a side job. I enjoy the work, and the way people look at me and my air conditioner is extremely satisfying.

Is this the same if the air conditioning unit has a clear coat?

Hey Rip...what tonnage is the unit? 400 Sq. Ft. = 1 ton of HVAC...you should be buying a 7 ton unit.

College boys will disagree with this due to enhanced building materials and better more effective insulations now being used...what they for get about is when folks actually live in the house, btu's increase.
