Can a cat become ill from drinking the water that drains from a window air-conditioner unit?

dino31mutt asked:


With the heat wave being what its been, my air-conditioner has been running for days and I have caught a couple of my cats lapping at the water coming from the unit when they’re out on the roof (its a flat top deck). I have to say it concerns me somewhat as I don’t know what’s in the water.
The cats have all access to the house and their own fresh cold water supply. I was just worried about the water from the unit.

How cool can my air conditioner get my house, compared to the temperature outside?

kell bell asked:


My air conditioner has been set on 60 degrees all day and my house is still 80 degrees.
It was about 97 degrees today, it is a central unit, very old but I am just hoping I don’t have to replace it since it is so costly. Thanks for all of your answers!

Can I use a regular heating pad on a goose egg for incubation?

ashenflowers asked:


I have a heating pad and ive read up on candling, handling etc. It seems to have been laid today, but i dont have an incubator; or the heart to just toss it. Any suggestions?? ( i have the heating pad)
OK let me add a little extra info here, im not doing anything illegal: its from a domesticated goose who cant fly after abuse from the owner that was released into my lake. Ive left the last eggs alone and they just ended up at the bottom of the lake or smushed. I can care for the animal, im not being unrealistic. Simple advice on how to go about this or if there is a better way would be nice. Not some smartass comment or a show of legality. I know the law on wild geese (not stupid) But thanks for the extra info about deformities, some info on how to go about it so there wont be any deformities would be nice.

How to fix a window air conditioner?

April 29th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Maintenance Repairs
T. C asked:


My air conditioner in my bedroom is fairly new (two or three years old). When it turns out it makes a sudden loud noise and it continues to run very loudly. It almost like a very very loud ‘whirring’ noise. When I turn on the fan only option on the unit it is quiet and runs normal. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing the problem?

How do I, if at all, rig up a window air conditioner to work in an attic?

rot8inganode asked:


Recently thought I was a genius and installed a 15000 BTU 15amp 115 volt window air conditioner in my new 2nd story additon with the rear of the unit hanging into the attic. All is well and good with the unit when the air temp is moderately high, but these past few days with the temp in the attic peaking around 130 degrees, have been causing the unit to trip the 15 amp circuit breaker. I have an attic ventilation fan that I could use (via duct work) to blow outside air directly on the back of the AC unit, or to suck air directly from the back of the unit. I could also increase the ampreage of the circuit breaker, but am not sure if 14 gauge wire can handle anything above 15amps. Another option would be to run a thicker gauge wire to accomodate a larger circuit breaker, but I feel that is not adressing the real problem of the cool air ventilation to the AC unit. Anyone have any suggestions?

It has caked on grease and other stuff, I tried scrubbing it, and it looks like an sos pad would probably get it, but I want to make sure that it doesn’t damage the heating element….

My air conditioner is broken and it’s 102 today?

April 28th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Maintenance Repairs
m1 asked:


I live in an apartment complex and my air conditioner is not working. The maintenance guy has been here about 1 1/2 hours without any luck. He says it may be the compresser and if that’s the case he’ll have to get permission from the manager to replace it. It is already 3:30 and I just know this won’t get fixed today. What can I do?

How can I fit an air conditioner in a basement window?

April 28th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Alicen M asked:


I have a basement apartment with small windows. I already have an air conditioner that fits in the space, but I don’t know how to close it in the window. Does anyone know how to make an AC stay in a basement window?
The window is not a sliding window. It lifts in and has a pole to hold it open.
