Erin D asked:


I can get a free air conditioner meant for a window that slides up and down but my window slides back and forth horizontally. How can I block the rest of the window and secure the air conditioner so it doesn’t fall out? I live in a 2nd floor apartment so it needs to be secure otherwise it could possibly break or hurt someone. Thanks

How does an air conditioner, and a heater work?
I’ve always been curious about it, plus one of the vents is leaking water, :\ and I always wanted to know how an air conditioner uses water.

babelfish asked:


Where can I find an air-conditioner I can mount on interior wall? It’s about 6 feet from a basement window.

It’s in a basement and I can’t use the window. Would like to mount an air conditioner on one wall and vent it out thru a window near my furnace.

My father has a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ-Rally Edition, with about 100,000 miles. It has been very reliable, but recently there has been an issue with the air conditioning. On very hot days, the A/C will be ice cold for a little while, then just seem to kick off and blow warm air. If it is switched off for a while, then switched back on, it will work again, or it will resolve itself after awhile if left on. On cooler days, the A/C seems to work fine. Until this summer, the A/C on the car has been flawless and amazingly cold and consistent. What could be causing this? He already had it recharged and is going to wait until next year to do any major repairs on the system. The mechanic thinks that the compressor might be overheating and seizing up, causing it to not work until it has cooled off. I think that it could also be caused by ice forming on the evaporator and hoses, and then once the ice dissipates, the A/C can run normally again. I’ve seen this problem on some other cars and window air conditioners. Any help or opinions would be very helpful. Thanks.

The CPA Guy asked:


I own a Mitsubishi split type air conditioner (upright compressor unit is outside connected via copper tubing to the blower unit on the inside). Is there some sort of regular maintenance that I should be doing on this A/C?

mello_fello asked:


No matter what kind of car or how old, it will start to stink if you use the air conditioner. What causes this? How do you prevent it or get rid of it?

mnation04 asked:


So lets say you want to air condition a room. But, the room has no window to put an air conditioner in. Is this at all possible? Like, is there any type of air conditioner you can set up in a room, without using a window? Thanks.
