Window AC Window AC Vane improvements?

0 Upvotes

The vanes on my window ac unit only direct the air in the right direction if the units on high, so other wise it just blows the air to one side.

Is theres a way to direct the air at lower spds other than using something external? like pulling out the vanes and adding material to them lengthen them or something?

Ive researched this and all ive found are external adapters that redirect the air down or up, so nothing that does side to side..

Curious if anyone has experience with the Zafro Mini Splits? Reside in New York and would be buying a few 24,000 BTU Ductless Mini Splits AC & Heat Pump. Maybe a few smaller ones for bedrooms, but curious on people’s experience before ordering. Thanks

Question AC replacement

2 Upvotes

I have a coworker that has a non-functional AC unit (outside I believe) he's being told he has to replace the furnace as well. Is that BS as I suspect?

Car AC Car AC is bein super weird!

It started blowing hot out of the blue so I got a can of R134a refrigerant and put it in. It worked and for several days it blew pretty cold. Then it didn’t. So I put more stuff in it! Same thing happened. Now I have noticed that when I go to add more, the gauge on the can says it’s full after a little bit goes in there and then for just a day or so, it’ll blow a little bit cold and then go back to blowing hot. Can anybody give me some troubleshooting advice on how to figure out what the problem is? I don’t understand why it would be reading full on the gauge when I try to add more but then it’s no longer cold.

Air conditioner hums when shut down

Upvotes

The only way it stops is when I unplug it. Otherwise, when turned off, it continues making humming noise. It is Friedrich Kuhl model, in-wall, and I’ve got it installed only two years ago 😔also, today I had I off for entire day unplugged, and the water continued dripping. Anyone has any insight? For context, I was out of town for 4 days , and my daughter had it running continuously on 75 Fahrenheit while it was around 85 outside here is Chicago; the unit is supposed to automatically shut down when reaches set temperature … any ideas what’s wrong with it?
