| What do i look for so i can rig this thing to stay on? My room gets stuffy at night, and its getting cool enough outside the A/C doesnt kick on.... I wanna rig it so when I turn it on, it blows cold air all the time..... |
Uhhhh yeah, and in the summer time it is warm outside. Why don't you spend the $40 that you will pay for A/C this month and buy a screen for your double wide trailer window?

In the summer time there is more than enough heat in the area (room) to keep it de-iced. When it get cooler outside the condensing temperatures get lower and so does the suction (evap) pressure and it WILL ice up. Liquid refrigerant will no longer boil off without a decent heat transfer and the returning liquid to your compressor WILL wash the oil out the bearings in the compressor crankcase, and then it WILL blow up your compressor.... THEN you can buy a fancier unit with fresh air/fan only control. I'm not trying to be a smart ass at all. I've been in HVAC/R business for over 25 years and it's my job. I'm just trying to let you know the consequences of leaving it on continually. Like I said earlier, if that's what you want, just make a short piece of wire and jumper it over the 2 thermostat connections and it won't ever shut off... for awhile |
