i have found that a evaporative cooler is not any good in brissy in summer as they put moisture into the air & it is humid enought allready.portable AC it ok in a small room But i find celing fan's to be good most of the time except on the really hot days
I'm i kalgoorlie, WA, and every house has evaporative's on the roof, and they are not very good, dont get one in brisbane, because of humidity, portable or fan will work better than evaporative
If the humidity is above 20% on average, A swamp cooler (Evaporative cooler) will not work or be affective. But on those days that the air is dry, they work great. Never found any of the portable units to be affective. Depending on the area your wanting to cool, Maybe a simple window unit and fan will work for you. GL from Sunny Southern Cal

You need to get an oily product to moisturize your hair...or ask your haircare professional ...or search on some of the more popular hair/shampoo web site for ideas! Clairol/Revlon/Fruitis/Paul Mitchell/...try...good luck!!!!
Get some Anti-Frizz serum
hot oil, ok
Paul Mitchell shampoo does tend to dry out hair. If you go to a Solon that does scalp treatments get one. It Will help out alto. It will leave your hair shiny, and silky. They are cheap also. The Solon i work at you can get on for $12.00
I would suggest Cholestrol treatments.... you get get this in most drug stores. Aother great treatment is Mayonaisse. Saturate dry hair with Mayo, leave on for an hour , then wash out. It truly works.
i also had dry hair....3months ago i started using Ouidad products. they have a good line for dry hair ....my hair is curley but it also works well when i flat iron it. the deep conditioner is WONDERFULLLLLLL! the products are litttle pricey but well worth it ......sighed use to be in your place girl.
you need to use a something like a hot oil treatment
Never use a hair product where the shampoo and the conditioner are in the same mix,the same bottle. Shampoo cleans your hair so use a shampoo for dry hair -Aussie is a good brand esp the Moisturizing Shampoo. Shampoo also cleans the hair of Conditioner and other product build-up which Can dull your hair-which doesn't happen if shampoo and conditioner are the same product. First use a CLARIFYING Shampoo -Nexus,Aussie both good products-also Paul Mitchell-white with black writing, then use SEBASTION potion No 9 and leave this in your hair-put about a size of a dime through just shampooed hair-does wonders for dry hair. Also if you have dry hair-do not blow dry unless absolutely necessary-let it dry naturally-I wash hair in the evening and let dry before I go to bed in the Am spritz with some plain distilled ore purified water-water is moisture. The No.9 potion can be bought CVS Drug
use shinier
check all the fuses.
The battery may be dead in the key fob thingy. One of mine went dead.
Does it need a new battery?
Sorry to hear that. Buy a better car next time lol.
its door locks probably arent hooked up to the control
It's a VW Fox, get used to it, or better yet get rid of it.
maybe a fuse
or the battery on the remote
Brazilian electrics for you
preventive maintenance, like oil change, its just a reminder
Mine usually comes on when the oil is low
it might be a problem with the sensor but i would have someone do a diagnostic test on it. you can get a free diagnostic test at auto zone if you have one in your city
It's time to get the car serviced.
its just telling you to change the oil and filter every 7500 miles on honda owned two nothing to worry about; just change your oil!
its a maintenance reminder light that comes on every 7500 miles, its not only for oil changes look in your manual and at specific mileage there are specific maintenance that are needed for your vehicle
Time to get it serviced. When was the last time you have that done or have you never had it done. By the sound of this you really don't need a car because you don't know how to take care of one.
I have a 2000 civic and i think your talking about the light that comes on and you stick you key into the little slot right near it to turn it off. If thats the light then it is just a Oil change/maintenence reminder. It turns from green to yellow to red. I believe it takes 7500 miles to turn it from green to red but it is just to remind you that an oil change is due. In the manual Honda recommends that you change the oil every 7500 miles. Most auto enthusisats/mechanics believe this should be done every 3000 miles however. Every time you change the oil just stick your key in the slot to reset it then you know when you need to change it again.

I would install air purifiers in every room. Sharper image sells some good ones. They are not the cheapest, but where your health is concerned they are worth it. An air conditioner will has to suck in the air you already breath to cool it off, even a great filter wIth a high merv rating will not completely clean your air. (consider a move)
First you should go to your department of environment or local government office and find out just how toxic are the fumes being emitted and whether it is in the legal limit.
You should also take a full medical check up each year to record whether you these fumes are having an effect on your health
Air conditioners draw in some air from outside to circulate within, you will need to check how much air it draws in
Have you ever thought of moving - I don't think you are living in a healthy environment.
That would depend on what they are incinerating. The levels of toxins in the air are strictly controlled by the EPA. You should be okay. but if you are concerned with it. Upgrade the airfilter in your central AC system. It could help. I dont think a window unit would help
NO. They don't filter much, if anything, from the air.
To my understanding an air conditioner does not have the air filters that would be necessary to properly filter the air. But there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind: firstly, medical waste has to be burned at a high enough temperature to denature all of the active ingredients (or at least they are suppose to be), secondly, is this a recent change? or has it been going on for awhile?, thirdly, if you are being inundated with toxic chemcials from outside, make sure to do something about all the toxic chemicals inside your home to decrease the toxic build up. Things like bleach, laundry soap, even your window cleaner give off toxic chemicals. A couple of site I found helpful were cyf.healthyhometour.com and cyf.toxinchecklist.com .
I would speak to the owner of the incinerator and get an emission report and check with your city or county to see if these emissions are within acceptable parameters. The only problem is that long term exposure to even small amounts of toxins can have devastating effects- birth defects, cancer, and some reports indicate correlation to alzheimers. The only truly safe option you may have is to move, but do what you can to get rid of the other toxic chemicals in your life too.
An ordinary air conditioning unit will not offer adequate protection. You need heavy-duty air purifiers with hepa filters.
If I were you I'd get the city to test the air to find out EXACTLY what's in it and the concentrations of the toxins present. I would then ask the waste facility to defray the costs of a premium air filtration system.
You have just as much right to clean air as anyone else and if the waste facility is making the air quality less than the established norms, then let them pay to at least ensure that you aren't running any health risks by breathing in their excretions.
A room air conditioner that sits in the window cycles air from outside to inside so would not help you at all. You can buy a Hepa filter for around $200.00 and keep windows and doors closed. These trap allergens and pollutants and are very effective. You can also put special filters on all of your intake vents and furnace filter. Make sure each floor or wall vent has one of these filters and also make sure to change them once per month. The recommendation is once every three, but I would do this every month.
It is unlikely that the waste contains dioxin since this is a pesticide derivative. The main concern is the smoke itself. All biological organisms are destroyed in the incineration process so the chief risk to you is just the irritant factor and smell from this process. While unpleasant, the extra filtration should help improve the quality of your air in your home greatly.
An ordinary air conditioner offers no protection. The air filtration system in an ordinary a/c is designed to catch large particles like dust and hair.
An ordinary air conditioner with an upgraded filtration system *might* offer some protection.
Virtually no a/c unit in a home installation brings in and cools outdoor air. Cooling down the hot air outside would be a tremendous waste of energy. Even window and in-wall a/c units recirculate the indoor air.
If the fumes are such that they smell strongly, I like the idea of contacting the government and insisting that tests be conducted. If the situation is truly unsafe (not just stinky but truly unsafe), there are all sorts of options you will be presented with.
In sum, if the incenerator is endangering your health, you have much bigger problems than any air conditioner or air purifier can solve.
Now I think I have heard it all. I thought stealing automobile headlights was odd but this is worse. The best thing you can do is anything that will make it more work to get to. A thief will go after an easier target if yours looks too formidable or will take too much time to rip off. you might have to do something like embed heavy iron pylons into concrete anchors set around the unit, and then bolt heavy steel angle irons around the unit. I can't believe people would steal these things just for the copper. How pathetic.
Failing that, try land mines.
There are many places who make a metal frame that fits around the a/c. It is fastened securely to the home, and would make it near to impossible for anyone to take it.
Opt for a water cooled indoor type unit, if you are in the purchasing mode for capital equipment. If not try a roof top cond. unit as that would be more than a high jump to get to.
That's tough.. One thing may help put a sign near saying aluminum coils. aluminum is not very expensive and not worth the trouble too steal.

Rupert Freon, a german.
In 1820 British scientist and inventor Michael Faraday discovered that compressing and liquefying ammonia could chill air when the liquefied ammonia was allowed to evaporate.
In 1842, Florida physician Dr. John Gorrie used compressor technology to create ice, which he used to cool air for his patients in his hospital in Apalachicola, Florida.[1] He hoped eventually to use his ice-making machine to regulate the temperature of buildings. He even envisioned centralized air conditioning that could cool entire cities.[2] Though his prototype leaked and performed irregularly, Gorrie was granted a patent in 1851 for his ice-making machine. His hopes for its success vanished soon afterwards when his chief financial backer died. Gorrie did not get the money he needed to develop the machine. According to his biographer Vivian M. Sherlock, he blamed the "Ice King," Frederic Tudor, for his failure, suspecting that Tudor has launched a smear campaign against his invention. Dr Gorrie died impoverished in 1855 and the idea of air conditioning faded away for 50 years.
Early commercial applications of air conditioning were manufactured to cool air for industrial processing rather than personal comfort. In 1902 the first modern electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier. Designed to improve manufacturing process control in a printing plant, his invention controlled not only temperature but also humidity. The low heat and humidity were to help maintain consistent paper dimensions and ink alignment. Later Carrier's technology was applied to increase productivity in the workplace, and The Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America was formed to meet rising demand. Over time air conditioning came to be used to improve comfort in homes and automobiles. Residential sales expanded dramatically in the 1950s.
In 1906, Stuart W. Cramer of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was exploring ways to add moisture to the air in his textile mill. Cramer coined the term "air conditioning," using it in a patent claim he filed that year as an analogue to "water conditioning", then a well-known process for making textiles easier to process. He combined moisture with ventilation to "condition" and change the air in the factories, controlling the humidity so necessary in textile plants. Willis Carrier adopted the term and incorporated it into the name of his company.
The first air conditioners and refrigerators employed toxic gases like ammonia and methyl chloride, which could result in fatal accidents when they leaked. Thomas Midgley, Jr. created the first chlorofluorocarbon gas, Freon, in 1928. The refrigerant was much safer for humans but was later found to be harmful to the atmosphere's ozone layer. "Freon" is a trade name of Dupont for any CFC, HCFC, or HFC refrigerant, the name of each including a number indicating molecular composition (R-11, R-12, R-22, R-134). The blend most used in direct-expansion comfort cooling is an HCFC known as R-22. It is to be phased out for use in new equipment by 2010 and completely discontinued by 2020. R-11 and R-12 are no longer manufactured in the US, the only source for purchase being the cleaned and purified gas recovered from other air conditioner systems. Several ozone-friendly refrigerants have been developed as alternatives, including R-410A, known by the brand name "Puron".
Latest air conditioners usually have air sterilization effects, such as the recent air conditioners that have germicidal and neutralization benefits.

The Father of Cool
Willis Haviland Carrier - The History of Air Conditioning
In 1902, only one year after Willis Haviland Carrier graduated from Cornell University with a Masters in Engineering, the first air (temperature and humidity) conditioning was in operation, making one Brooklyn printing plant owner very happy. Fluctuations in heat and humidity in his plant had caused the dimensions of the printing paper to keep altering slightly, enough to ensure a misalignment of the colored inks. The new air conditioning machine created a stable environment and aligned four-color printing became possible. All thanks to the new employee at the Buffalo Forge Company, who started on a salary of only $10.00 per week.
The 'Apparatus for Treating Air' (U.S. Pat# 808897) granted in 1906, was the first of several patents awarded to Willis Haviland Carrier. The recognized 'father of air conditioning' is Carrier, but the term 'air conditioning' actually originated with textile engineer, Stuart H. Cramer. Cramer used the phrase 'air conditioning' in a 1906 patent claim filed for a device that added water vapor to the air in textile plants - to condition the yarn.
In 1911, Willis Haviland Carrier disclosed his basic Rational Psychrometric Formulae to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The formula still stands today as the basis in all fundamental calculations for the air conditioning industry. Carrier said he received his 'flash of genius' while waiting for a train. It was a foggy night and he was going over in his mind the problem of temperature and humidity control. By the time the train arrived, Carrier had an understanding of the relationship between temperature, humidity and dew point.
Industries flourished with the new ability to control the temperature and humidity levels during and after production. Film, tobacco, processed meats, medical capsules, textiles and other products acquired significant improvements in quality with air conditioning. Willis and six other engineers formed the Carrier Engineering Corporation in 1915 with a starting capital of $35,000 (1995 sales topped $5 billion). The company was dedicated to improving air conditioning technology.
In 1921, Willis Haviland Carrier patented the centrifugal refrigeration machine. The 'centrifugal chiller' was the first practical method of air conditioning large spaces. Previous refrigeration machines used reciprocating-compressors (piston-driven) to pump refrigerant (often toxic and flammable ammonia) throughout the system. Carrier designed a centrifugal-compressor similar to the centrifugal turning-blades of a water pump. The result was a safer and more efficient chiller.

if you have an epa certification license, maybe.
you need a vacuum pump, and gauges, oxy/acetyline, and freon, which you can't buy unless you have the certification.
Beats me, can you?
Why would you want to. Having both over the years, the heat pump will disappoint you, in Cold & Hot weather.
Unless you have any training in the HVAC field, I would recommend against you doing it yourself. You need several specialized tools and you need to know what the heck you're doing. The equipment is too expensive for a novice to be messing with it and you are required to have an EPA refrigerant handing liscense.
You can though replace (I mean have a competent person do it) your a/c unit with a heat pump. I assume you have another source of heat, therefore you can get a fossil fuel thermostat and run the heat pump in warmer weather (down to 35 or lower. The new units work very well and I'm not a big heat pump fan) and then the stat will switch over to your fossil fuel when it's colder. This is an extremely efficient way of controlling your heat.
no, u need a HVAC lic......all the right equipment, freon, and the knowledge to do it right..remember $10,000.00 fine to anyone who releases freon into the air.....federal law
lic. gen. contractor
no, you need sorts of tool, that would probably cost more than calling someone out to do it
Try the major manufactures web sites and send their customer service an e-mail or call. Most have an 800 number. Or you could just buy a window unit and set on a frame and have some sheet metal made to duct the air in using your old connection.
Condensing units are not usually measured in BTU. They are usually measured in tons. 1 ton usually covers 300 to 500 square feet of house space. This depends on heat load in the house.
I am afraid your tech may not know what you need. Get a second opinion.
In the AC business, central air setups are called "split systems". 8000 BTU is a very small split system. In the past few years, japanase manufacturers have began making small split systems known as "mini-splits". I would imagine you can find the outside unit (also called the condensing unit) of that size.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
Make sure the SEER rating of the new condensing unit is not too far from that of the old. Switching from an 8 SEER to a 14 SEER probably wouldn't give satisfactory results.
Mini-splits often use high voltage for control wiring. Regular split systems usually use low voltage. Your new condensing unit might require a relay to be added or changed in order to make it compatible with your old system. (probably an extra $50 on the installation bill)
I guess you could as long as you make sure the unit is off and you remember to remove the cover before it's turned on again. The covers for the window units are more to help block air from blowing into the house or apartment than anything else. They just help with weather proofing a bit. They make things look a bit nicer, also.
The split units don't need to be covered as protection from the weather. They are built to be exposed. They don't allow wind into the house because the only penetration are the small tubes and those are (or should be) caulked for weather proofing so the cover is un-necessary.
