No matter what kind of car or how old, it will start to stink if you use the air conditioner. What causes this? How do you prevent it or get rid of it?

Our ducting is being provided by Advantage Air and we would like to know if it is better to have a fixed silhouette diffuser or the standard type with adjustable grills. Would welcome feedback on both types. The Air Conditioner being installed is reverse cycle.

Ramesh K asked:

Is there an innovative air conditioner which does not emit those harmful gases? I get a few hits in Google about natural air conditioners, which works based on pumping the water. I do not have the complete details though. Any ideas please?

PS: I know there are natural air conditioners like Swiss etc, so please give alternates based on technology.

Enceladus asked:

I live in Japan, and my air conditioner hasn’t been heating very well recently. Sometimes it shuts off by itself, but today, it just hasn’t been giving warm air. I have a feeling that the filter needs to be replaced. It’s a rather standard wall mounted air conditioner made by Mitsubishi that is common in Japanese apartments. Any ideas?

Michelleh asked:

My central air conditioner is 20 years old, although I replaced a $600 part about 3 years ago. Is it time to replace the entire unit and if so, what brands are best in terms of reliability and “energy star” efficiency? Should I use single room units instead? I would be happy without having the whole house cool, if that would be more energy efficient. I live in Pasadena, southern California, if that makes a difference.

Vince asked:

I would like to use a window air conditioner to cool my cellar. My cellar doesn’t have a window. I would place the unit on a table and run a drain hose to the floor drain. Will the unit work properly with the back side of the unit inside the room, not in the fresh outside air?

Hi
We have a Goodman 92% furnace with 12 SEER split heat pump. (copied this directly from invoice). It is approx. 2 years old. Last night it got very cold for our area (11 degrees) and the heat pump has been making a grinding/humming noise when it shuts down, before the whooshing sound. The grinding/humming noise only lasts a few seconds. Usually it just makes a whooshing noise when it cycles off. The heat is working normally, ie, the house is staying warm. I checked the unit outside to see if there was something visibly wrong–all I noticed was a tiny amount of ice on the very bottom, inside the unit. What’s going on? Is the new noise because the gas is coming on? Should I call a professional?
Thanks for the replies so far. It has warmed up and the unit is no longer making the noise. I did change the filter as recommended and the vents are open. Thanks again for the help.
