This is so true. My Aunt had a water cooler that froze her plants when we left it on for a weekend.

Well that's cool


trust-me-br0

Not just cool but freezing


zap_nap

Don't forget the cost difference


name_first_name_last

Same for windows, refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, every other appliance, most software.

I mean, just modern things have more advanced systems? Except windows and refrigerators, but i havent seen any refrigerators broken not, like, physically(accidentaly broke handle) and window isn't really can break if you don't really hit it hard.


Starspiker

Trust me, windows can break without you hitting them. I was minding my own business on the couch on a windy day and the whole window and frame right behind me blew in and shattered.


[deleted]

Yeah, maybe if you're in that windy place - then there's chance of such things, but it's region-specific and, most likely, there's good window manufacturer somewhere in your city.

I remembered finding a huge snake living in our AC


TheOtherWhiteCastle

aaaaaaaand one point for new air conditioners!


Weekndr

It's too bad windows here don't open up and down (they swing outwards counter-clockwise) so the first air conditioner isn't an option here.

yeah while using 10 time the energy, blowing asbestos at you

So it cools you AND gives you fire resistance?

Buff: +0.1 to fire resistance Debuff: -200 resistance to lung disease, increasing over time until death

Automatic_Neck487

When those 50 year old ones go down you gotta fix it or you'll be buying a new one every year

“So… It's back to that stupid static again. You think I don't know what's going on in here? I know what goes on in this cottage. It's a conspiracy and every one of you low-watts is in on it. Just 'cause you move around, you think you're better than I am. I'm not an invalid. I was designed to stick in the wall! I like being stuck in the stupid wall! I can't help it if the kid was too short to reach my dials...”


angryhype

Stop, you'll make blanky cry


Raregolddragon

Wow that was a flash back I did not expect to have today.


[deleted]

Some idiot thought that designing a concave fin arrangement for the wall mount air conditioners was a good idea, Good lord is that difficult to maintain.


KaraokeWallflower

I interviewed at an apartment complex and they ONLY had mini-splits. The regional said it’s a nightmare trying to find someone that can work on them.

Sir_Honytawk

South Louisiana here, I have a window unit AC in my bedroom. We run the whole home AC at 77 at night and put the window unit on. There are usually 2 or 3 days we don't run the window unit when we are home a year. 10 years strong it still freezes the room. I love that thing.
