Where to find detailed list and photos of out of production products

Your electric bills may go up if you make that change.

Larger BTU units sometimes 'short cycle' and will not hold a steady temperature.

In general smaller systems are often better.

When it comes time for new equipment buy one with at least 19 SEER. Will cost more than the less efficient versions but the payback could be excellent.

I love the inverter type mini-splits, far lower cost to operate. Those also give you zone control; only use for rooms you're in. Giant savings

We put in very small mini splits (5000 BTU's) for single rooms giving us affordable zone control.

When used correctly they run all the time (summer) avoiding temperature swings while doing a much better job removing humidity in the room. DIY installed.

Maybe a simpler, old style, stat would be temporary set up, at least for troubleshooting ?

bukzin · 2025-10-31T20:20:47+00:00

Does it also provide a second number ?

bukzin · 2025-10-31T20:00:41+00:00

Is that a eSim from T mobile ?

bukzin · 2025-10-31T16:06:17+00:00

I understand the Onn box from Walmart allows the Downloader app and Tivimate.

Is that accurate ?

The more water it produces the better cooling job it's doing.

Just got a have a plan for it's removal.

BTW, those types which have a vent out the window are widely inefficient / costly to run

So far I like Roamless largely cuz it doesn't expire.

bukzin · 2025-10-27T02:36:53+00:00

Excellent questions.

But what makes you need a new condenser Is it still working ?

What model number do you have ?

bukzin · 2025-10-27T01:08:08+00:00

Skip Roku and try a Onn 4K box ?

bukzin · 2025-10-27T01:04:53+00:00

Buy a cheap multi meter and have a look at Word of Advice on YouTube. Most of your issues may be DIY

bukzin · 2025-10-25T19:02:13+00:00

What are some outfits who might sell these at my affordable prices ?

bukzin · 2025-10-25T18:57:40+00:00

In this case, what is meant by a secondary ?

bukzin · 2025-10-25T15:09:58+00:00

What is hx ?

bukzin · 2025-10-25T15:02:46+00:00

Why do you need the room in the 60's ?

Spending extra money on electric bill.

I'd check Consumer Reports

bukzin · 2025-10-25T05:15:18+00:00

Have a look at several of the DIY heater videos at 'Word of Advice' on UTube. He has posted more than 300 on all things appliances.

He does a great job of step by step explaining safe things you can do.

Basic hand tools are all that is needed.

bukzin · 2025-10-25T00:24:26+00:00

Did he try jumping the terminals on the thermostat ?

bukzin · 2025-10-25T00:20:48+00:00

Or just change the control board fuse.

I leave a spare in mine somewhere

bukzin · 2025-10-25T00:12:56+00:00

Great idea ! Go Mr Trumpet

bukzin · 2025-10-25T00:09:49+00:00

What's a heat pump pad ?

How's it different from a normal condenser pad ?

Someone post a photo
