Down-n-OUT asked:


The air conditioner in my home seems to be blowing cold air, it feels cold anyway. But our thermometer doesn’t get below 80 or higher. I checked the filter and replaced it but that does not do anything. Can anyone clue me in on anything?

truelori asked:


I work at home, and I take the home office deduction. I have a separate room that is my regular office space used exclusively as an office, so that is not the question.

I’m just sure if these are particular items I would be able to deduct. I bought a back pillow from the chiropractor for my typing chair, and I need to buy an air filter for this horrible allergy season and an air conditioner for the home offfice. Are these expenses I can deduct since they will only be used in the home office? Do I need to depreciate them?

When depreciating, is there a minimum dollar amount? The back pillow was only 25 bucks. If I don’t depreciate it, what category would that be?

Thanks for any information!! I have looked up a lot of info on this but I’m just not sure about these items.
As I said, my home office is my regular place of business. I do everything from here on the computer. That’s it.

I think I read somewhere air conditioning is not applicable to Section 179. And I also don’t know how the air filter would figure into that or if it’s deductible.

I noticed that my central air conditioner in my house was blowing air but not blowing cold air. I went outside and noticed that my outdoor air conditioner condenser fan was running fine but the compressor wasn’t making any noise. Any suggestions?
I looked at the fuse box and there are two fuses…is one for the compressor and one for the fan on the condenser…cause like I said, the fan on the condenser does turn on.

I have a portable air conditioner in bedroom, but none in living room. Sometimes air is cooler outside than in. Can I leave l.r. window open while bedroom door is open?

Erin D asked:


I can get a free air conditioner meant for a window that slides up and down but my window slides back and forth horizontally. How can I block the rest of the window and secure the air conditioner so it doesn’t fall out? I live in a 2nd floor apartment so it needs to be secure otherwise it could possibly break or hurt someone. Thanks

The high pressure line on my central air conditioner, is cool to the touch when the air conditioning is running. I’ve been told that when the compressor is running the high pressure line should be warm or hot. Any ideas what this could mean?

With temperatures all over the world steadily rising due to several environmental reasons, and with the increasing affordability of air conditioners, they have now become almost an indispensable part of our lives, be it at our homes, or in our offices, or for that matter even in our kids’ schools. Having an air conditioner installed ensures that the conditions indoors are bearable, especially during the hot, scorching summer days.

Air conditioners for industries are critical due to different reasons. It is extremely essential for those industries which involve a lot of mechanical work. When work by itself is very tiring and can be exhausting for the workers, a central air conditioner can help you to sort out the problem. Workers would prefer much more to work in a cool, comfortable environment than in a hot, stuffy shop floor. With overall temperature at cool to normal levels, workers don’t feel stressed out and their efficiency increases. There are additional advantages in installing the air conditioner. The machines that are installed also don’t overheat. So their efficiency increases too. It also brings down the maintenance cost of the machines and their average life increases.

Of course, for industrial air conditioning, one needs units which have much higher capacity than the residential air conditioners. This is chiefly because of two reasons. First of all, the sheer size of the space demands that you have to have an air conditioner that is of much higher power. Then there is also the factor of more people working in the room. With higher traffic the need for more air circulation becomes a necessity. This is only possible with a higher capacity air conditioner. Industrial air conditioners generally do come with ‘air condition boosters’ at different points in the entire network of the ducts. This is to ensure that the air flow remains constant and efficient all over the space.

There have been new innovations in industrial air conditioning too. Today, many industries are actually using natural gas centralized air conditioning instead of the conventional electric air conditioning system. This helps to cut down the costs on power and also helps to keep the surrounding environment healthier.

There are companies which might charge you a refundable security deposit. If there are any damages to the air conditioner they deduct the reparation from the security deposit. The fee that is charged depends on the length of time you are hiring the air conditioner for, and the brand you choose to have.

The operative cost for an industrial air conditioner can be high, but the returns, in the form of worker and machine efficiency prove to be much higher. So it makes every sense to invest on an industrial air conditioner.

So lets say you want to air condition a room. But, the room has no window to put an air conditioner in. Is this at all possible? Like, is there any type of air conditioner you can set up in a room, without using a window? Thanks.
