The AC worked better after I cleaned the air filters
I bought a portable a/c system for the garage, and there was a sale at the hardware store on all of the AC units from the previous season and I snagged a portable a/c system for less than $400. The AC component is made for rooms up to 200 ft and the garages much less space⦠Even with all of the cracks and crevices and the space under the door, the AC component still does a pretty fine task of keeping the room nice and cold. I use the AC component all during July. I had a couple of projects that I inspected in the garage. I signed up my tool bench with the screwdrivers, wrenches, and hammers. I could feel the cold air from the AC behind me and it felt great. In July, the AC did not work as well. I was infuriated when the temperature inside of the garage was warm. The AC component was struggling to keep up with the temperature. I looked through the booklet for the equipment and I found out that there are air filters that needed to be cleaned. I had the equipment for a whole month and I never bothered to wipe any of the three air filters on the machine. Once I cleaned the air filters and got rid of the dust and dirt, the Machine worked like it was brand new, then now that I know there are air filters on the side of the AC unit, I will be sure to wipe them more frequently. I will actually get more longevity out of the equipment if I take care of it officially.
