What happens if you partially block an AC unit?
It could cause the evaporator coil to freeze up if not enough air is blowing over it. If that happends just shut it off and let thaw.
What is a ridge vent?
An old home built in late teens early twenties, unfinished attic with knob and tube wiring (in addition to newer upgrades on lower levels) has one large built in steel fan in window and one end gable, need a new roof and they want to sell me a ridge vent to go across the top. I've had recent leak with water from damaged roof, so I fear the ridge vent could create more problems with wind or rain and snow blowing in. Is my large fan (the guy that did the upstairs central AC put it in, it's designed to automatically start at 90degrees) not enough? I don't want to overventilate, the original insulation is in the floor recessed under the knob and tube wiring, had some blown in insulation put in 10 years ago as well, just don't want to take any chances. Any knowledge on the safety of the ridge vent in the older homes with regards to leaks/wind/rain/snow?
If your original central air conditioner was undersized at 3 ton but cools ok and you install a 3 ton two stage heat pump will the first stage be big enough to add in your basement or 2600 sf total?
The total tonnage is still 3. I would say no to 2600sf.
How much petrol is used by a car engine when its on but car is not moving?
Sorry but this has way too many unknowns to answer properly. (Engine size, engine temperature, idle or throttled, air conditioning, charged battery, headlights) A few minor trends though can be specified. While an engine is cold, more fuel will be consumed to bring the engine up to temperature. Most modern automobile engines have been designed so lean that when added mechanical loads are engaged like air conditioning, and battery charging; more fuel is consumed to compensate. Older, typically carbuerated engines were set to consume enough fuel at idle to not stall the engine with all mechanical loads engaged.
Why are standard eyeglasses not enough protection?
There is not enough protection from the sides...
Why would just the upstairs faucets sputter when first turned on?
Air in the water lines to the upstairs. Not enough water pressure.

if there strong enough, then yes they can

How much does a central air unit weigh?
A central air conditioning unit is heavy enough to require a crane to lift it up to a roof or other mechanical aid to place it next to a house. The units are not something several men can pick up and move.
Is it cheaper to use room air conditioners or central air conditioning?
Depends on where you live. If you live far enough north, you won't use the a/ c enough for a more efficient central air system to pay off the investment. In general window and casement units are the lowest efficiency, then the split systems, and the central a/c systems are the most efficient. All but the central air let you cool only the rooms you are using, so there is a potential savings if you are only using a few rooms in a large house.
You have an 96 Ford Taurus and the air conditioning stopped blowing cold air?
Diagnosing air conditioning is rather complicated - from not enough refrigerant to fuses & relays, to a compressors not kicking in.This is one of those parts of the vehicle that a professional mechanic can end up saving you lots of time, and wasted $$'s replacing perfectly good parts.There is one thing though that can also cause warm air conditioning: a problem with the temperature controls.See "Related Questions" below for much more about this somewhat common Taurus/Sable problem.
Is the Husky 2600 pressure washer strong enough to clean the siding on the upstairs of a two story home?
Yes it will be strong enough to do that and if used right could clean out gutters.
Why is the heater blowing cold air on a 2000 mountaineer?
Because you don't have enough coolant in your radiator.
How can you stop water from dripping off the air conditioning registers that are located above and away from your central ac unit?
Answer 1Since I'm not an expert in central air conditioning, this will be a layman's answer. As I understand what I have been told years ago by an air conditioning technician, condensation occurring inside the ductwork downstream of the evaporator coil(s) is the result of the rate of airflow over the coil being too great for the amount of moisture [humidity] in the air.The highly humid air does not have a long enough contact time with the coils for all the moisture to condense on the coil fins, and it does finally condense out downstream in the ducts and on the outlet diffuser.Whatever the cause, you need to get a qualified air conditioning technician to check out your system, so that he/she can properly diagnose the cause.
Why do engineers need to check air conditioning regularly?
engineers need to check air conditioning systems regularly to make sure that the air quality is good enough for humans to breath in.
Does it take more than one can of 134a if the air is not as cold as it should be?
If the air conditioning system is not blowing cold enough, it could be due to a variety of issues. Adding more refrigerant without addressing the underlying problem may not solve the issue. It's best to have a professional diagnose the problem before adding more refrigerant.
Why does your central air conditioning quit working at night?
Central air conditioning may quit working at night due to various reasons such as a malfunctioning thermostat, clogged air filters, low refrigerant levels, or issues with the compressor. It could also be due to an overloaded electrical circuit or a tripped breaker. It is recommended to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and diagnose the problem to determine the exact cause.
