I normally run my A/Cs on low or medium to better dehumidify the air then on high speed. I’ve noticed that older A/Cs have a coarser fin count than newer A/Cs. I stuck rose bushes in pots under my A/Cs so the condensate waters them. Roses seem to really like A/C condensate.
That is because the water coning out of the ACs is Pure H2O, without any contaminates in it. ACs removing moisture from the air is the same thing as Distilling water, boiling it to make pure H2O condensation.
I typically adjust the speed based on the outdoor temperature. Low is fine at night, which is usually when it's more humid anyways, but almost always on high during the day to keep head pressure down.
The fedders uses a rotorex compressor. A lot of the fedders units from that time and model used them. Also, I think that funny sound coming from it might be a compressor mount being loose, but who knows.
The machines are used in a clean environment. They only run 20-30 days per season. I clean the coils yearly. No filter in this particular use case is doing no harm.
I’m like you, hot all the time and love air movement. Does your home have forced air heat? Mine does and with some modifications to the furnace, I was able to have central ac installed which eliminated an 18k and two 8k btu wall/window units. As a bonus, my half finished basement is now also cooled. The central ac is also actually cheaper to run than the previous 3 older units.
No, I have wood stove as primary heat with hot water baseboard as backup. I would never install central air, I don't like it. I prefer to be able to control temperature of each area and only use what's needed.
the compressor is vibrating, 1st must do a deep checkup of the machine, get rusted parts replaced, if gas required refill, the pump has oil inside if required get it serviced, get hvac rubber pads for outside vibration fix, for inside attach a sound muffle pad around the pump. must be rotary compressor. hvac units lasts around 10 year. newer units are more energy efficient.
Those are some pretty nice units you got. At my parents houses we have a pro air unit a ge a Frigidaire and a kenmore. And at my grandmas house we have a dinali air unit
I have an old fedders identical to yours. 7500btu the compressor is Roto something brand. I got it at habitat for 10$. It’s so rusty it’s got its own holes for drainage. Nobody cleaned it. I got it pretty clean. It’s still holding a charge. Cools this 900 SF space fine. I’ll just run it till it quits if it ever does. I also have an Emerson QC it’s less BTU’s then the Fedders. But it has the fan shut off with the compressor feature I like.
I think vintage stuff, especially HVAC equipment, is fascinating. Unfortunately, I also advocate for the evacuation of refrigerant and retiring the unit or converting to a modern gas. R12 is incredibly destructive to the ozone, and is the little talked about primary cause of climate change. R12 destroys 10,000 O3 molecules for every molecule that is released, so for a little 12k BTU unit (1 ton) there is probably about 2.5 Lbs. of R12. That means should the R12 all leak out, it will destroy 12.5 TONS of ozone, or 200,000 Cubic Feet (This take as much space as a football field nearly 7 feet high). Conversion to the newest refrigerant (R1234yf) is the responsible thing to do as it is not harmful at all to the environment, it is flammable though.
R1234yf is not responsible to use, it is definitely not safe and it's hideously toxic to quite literally everything in the environment. It's mostly inert under very specific conditions, namely in a vacuum inside a refrigerant system. Where it all falls apart is when it's exposed to atmosphere, where it readily decomposes into hydrogen fluoride and carbonyl fluoride gas. There's a reason that both of these gases have a rating of "4" on the NFPA health scale, because they will kill you dead just being exposed to a few micrograms of them. And considering A/C systems can have pounds of the stuff, that's a lot of dead people. Oh and it's not a very pleasant death either. If you inhale either of the compounds, both HF and CF will combine with the water in your lungs to form hydrofluoric acid, giving you a death on par to the gas fields in World War 1. Both HF and CF don't like to exist and will attack quite literally every material known to exist, except nickel treated with fluorine to form a nickel-fluorine compound that prevents further reactions. They etch glass on contact, dissolve bone and will set quite literally anything on fire, even things not known to normally burn, like ash and concrete. R12 decomposes into chlorine oxide in the ozone layer. I can't wait to see what happens when fluorine gets up there, because it's going to be much, MUCH worse. Do you want to know why the EPA banned R12 and older refrigerants? It has less to do with the ozone layer and more to do with the company that invented the refrigerants. Who made R12? Dupont and GM. Who made R134a? Dupont. Who made R1234yf? You guessed it, Dupont. It's curious that Dupont invented all of these important refrigerants which suddenly become bad boogey men when their patents and/or profitability are in jeopardy. So they come up with a shiny new refrigerant they can patent and charge whatever they want for. Dupont is also known to have a revolving door relationship with the EPA, so it's easy for them to get their old refrigerants that everyone can make cheaply banned and force the industry to go back to them as a sole source. You can get a 30 pound cylinder of R134a for about $150-300, depending on the source. You can only get R1234yf from Dupont or one of their licensed partners/subsidiaries for *$3000* for that same 30 pound cylinder when it first was released. They've graciously dropped it to around $1500-2000 now.
These machines regularly provide decades of reliable service without any kind of failure. When there is a failure, it's often something easily repaired and seldom a leak. I find it very difficult to believe that it's better for the environment to "ethically" dispose of a good working vintage piece of equipment, manufacture a new one, ship it, then throw it away when it breaks in a few seasons and repeat the whole process over again in the same dreadful cycle. There is an atrocious amount of waste and pollution created during that process.
The sounds....ahh the sounds. Brings back childhood memories. Especially that carrier siesta. Perhaps someone in the family had one 🤔

Having a filter in there would certainly help keeping those coils in better shape.

That's cap.
6:21 you can actually cool the house with the windows open by using a swamp cooler but this only works if it’s a dry place
It's far too humid in this region to use swamp coolers.

Try setting your air conditioner to dry mode on days with high humidity
I have no idea what you're talking about.
@@JordanU dry mode removes excess moisture from the air like a dehumidifier
@@hunterd825 Air conditioners do not have modes, they're on or off.
@@JordanU usually there's auto, cool, fan, and dry.. yours may be different. My experience is with midea.
@@hunterd825 I use quality machines from decades ago, like Carrier, Amana, and Fedders. There is no such gimmick on any of my machines.

Shut up. Quit the smack talking and spam and find something constructive to do with your time.
Hello,when did you, vacuum your A.C.'s last?!?
I don't know.
76 degrees you call that hot. Try 90+ degrees at midnight like we have it.
The weather is all relative to what you're used to, which varies by location. It hardly gets to 90 degrees here except for a month or two.
