Hey I sent you a WhatsApp message last night about two units.
Sounds like the contactor which feeds the compressor is faulty (this can explain the smell you are getting). Have you tried opening the unit?screwbash wrote:anyone ever feel to take a sledge hammer or an axe to sheit when it does just give trouble or doesnt work right. my blasted ac making a buzzing noise when the compressor trying to come on and no cold breeze. whole blasted night is just the fan working and it have a smell to the fan air coming out of the ac. anyone have experience with steve an associates? i seeing they have a lennox 18000 for $4000 installed. i knw they have a big building in curepe but i have zero experience with them so idk if they are professional or i have to run them down for after sale.

With respect to the 12k and 18k you need to examine the specs on the contactor. They are rated according to motor horsepower/current carrying capacity. Hopefully if yours has not suffered a catastrophic failure (melting/labels being burnt) u may be able to acquire the data. If u are lucky they may be same size. A contactor for an 18k can definitely work on a 12k. Also confirm the coil operating voltage.
If you have reservations then you should leave it to the professionals.
Try pricesmart but most likely you will get a window unitLance wrote:Any other brand offers a 120v 12000BTU spilt unit?

We've been getting low voltage in the penal area over the last week and last night my living room unit cut off for a few mins then came back on I assume because of low voltage. I have one of the excelline voltage protection on that unit.

you mad. whappen yuh have the ac on and the window open still?
Send up yuh fadda light bill and burn out the ac compressor right.
Your ac shouldn't be lower than 24 °C. That's the max comfort zone and power saving balance. I running a 12k btu at 28°C since 630pm and the room very comfortable. It facing west direct sun all evening and it was 34.4 °C at 6pm. Several baths to cool down really helps when the temps this high. Save current by not needing the water heater too. 26°C in the bedroom for sleep.
If the ac set at 17, the room is 23 and you still feeling so hot and uncomfortable, you're dehydrated bad. Go and bathe and let the cold water run for a while at the back of the neck where it meets the base of the brain. Then mix 1/2 tsp salt into 1 L water and sip it over an hour's time.
Also get a fan, moving air cools better with lower A/C set temps.
But dem A/C men does tell yuh to NEVER have a fan on with yuh A/C running.
Wey, nervewrecker? Ah moving this contribution to the A/C thread.
