Glad the video helped! When oil-filled heaters go bad, it's usually not dramatic. Most of the time, they just stop working gradually or won't heat up as well. No explosions or anything crazy, just less effective heating.

it depends on the prices of propane vs electricity....

This will depend a a lot on your electricity price and what you pay for propane. Also, it depends on the insulation or size of the space.

You're right, some box fans aren’t designed to be serviceable, which can shorten their lifespan. It’s always a good idea to check for serviceability when buying to make sure it lasts longer.

Haven't been able to play any new AAA games until it cools down due to the heat my PC generates.

Haha! That’s a clever way to stay warm while gaming! Makes sense if you’re already paying for electricity either way.

technically yes, but the light eventually gets absorbed by the walls or furniture, etc, and gets converted to heat energy anyways

@@werdwerdus good point, didn't even think of that.

Technically, yeah, a small amount of energy is lost to visible light, but it’s pretty minimal compared to the heat output. Most of the energy goes into heating.

Great point! Having a backup heat source is always a smart idea, especially during emergencies. Thanks for sharing!

Yep, they do! Oil heaters still use electricity to heat the oil inside, but they tend to retain heat longer, which can make them more efficient in some cases.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah, pedestal fans can be louder but give more power, while tower fans are quieter but not as strong. Totally get where you're coming from - hopefully, they’ll improve the cooling in tower fans soon!

Thanks for the input! You're right, oil-filled heaters are more convective, but they do still give off some radiant heat. The great thing is they stay safe by not getting red hot, so you get warmth without the risk.

You're right! A faulty thermostat can definitely cause short cycling, especially if it's not reading the temperature correctly. This usually happens because of a bad placement, but if the thermostat is faulty in general, it can also be a reason for short cycling.

Yeah, we know - we recently made a video why there are no true battery-powered heaters: ua-cam.com/video/_UyFpS9qE-0/v-deo.htmlsi=0JNL0bdMyPkuxysq

You can turn off the AC by flipping the circuit breaker, then clean it safely.

@@homecapricehc even after flipping and putting back the circuit breaker,AC still can’t go off

@@moniquederique2428 then you need to reach out to an HVAC tech to check and fix the problem. You can find one here: homecaprice.com/hvac-technician/

It sounds like the fan or motor might be out of balance or there could be debris stuck in the fan blades. Double-check if everything's tightened and clear. If the noise persists, you might need a professional to look at it. Check the link in the video description for local HVAC contacts.

You can tell if the thermostat is faulty by checking if it doesn't respond when you adjust the temperature, if the display is blank or unlit, or if the AC turns on and off too quickly (short cycling). Also, try replacing the batteries or resetting it to see if that fixes the issue.

Bad pipe welding can definitely cause issues with your AC, leading to noises like hissing or banging. It’s worth checking out the welds if you're hearing something unusual!

Sounds like it could be a loose belt or fan issue. Definitely not birds! 😂 I'd suggest checking those out.

@@homecapricehc Haha! Thanks, I'll get it checked out.

It sounds like your AC might be having an issue with the compressor or the fan motor. The whirring noise could be the compressor struggling to start, and the low airflow might indicate a problem with the fan or a clogged filter. I’d recommend checking the filter first, and if that’s clean, you might need to get a technician to inspect the compressor and fan motor.

@@homecapricehc filter is clean

Thanks for pointing that out! Recalibrating your thermostat can vary by model, so I recommend checking the manual or the manufacturer’s website for specific instructions. It usually involves adjusting the temperature settings or doing a reset. However, we do have a dedicated video about thermostat wiring here: ua-cam.com/video/b-QdKl4xLkw/v-deo.html or you can read more about this on this article: homecaprice.com/thermostat-wiring/

Sounds like there might be an issue with the control board or a stuck relay. Try unplugging the unit for a few minutes to reset it. If that doesn't help, you might need to get it checked by a professional.

@@homecapricehc I tried unplugging it that didn't work I'll get somebody to look at it. Thank you

It sounds like your AC is cooling well, given the 30-degree difference between before and after the evaporator, which is normal. The issue with it not turning off at 74 but working fine at 75 might be due to a thermostat calibration issue. Try recalibrating your thermostat or replacing it if it’s old. Also, make sure the thermostat is placed away from any heat sources or direct sunlight.

@@homecapricehc ok but what about the idea that evaporator partial freezing could this explain extreme difference in degrees because if it was the thermostat, it would stay on at 75 too wouldn't it?

It's possible that partial freezing of the evaporator could cause a bigger temperature difference. If the evaporator is freezing up, it can mess with the cooling process and affect the thermostat's reading. Try checking the airflow and refrigerant levels, and maybe clean the evaporator coil to see if that helps.

Mine does the same thing. Did you find a fix?

It sounds like there might be an issue with the electrical components of your AC unit. The buzzing could be from a faulty contactor relay, loose wires, or a failing capacitor. Flipping the breaker might reset it temporarily, but it’s best to have a professional take a look to avoid any potential hazards.

Sounds like you might have a wiring issue or a problem with your electrical panel. It’s best to get an electrician to check it out.

That’s great! Glad the video was helpful to you 😊

Totally get that! These tips work great for any fan, even the budget-friendly ones. Stay cool! 😎 P.S. Since we got a lot of comments that the Dyson fan we suggested in the video is too expensive, we have listed some of the more budget friendly options out there on a pinned comment. on this video. Feel free to check them out.
