Heat pumps defy the laws of physics? If the air is cooled it changes
how much moisture it has in it. Take some time to learn how it works.


Unless you run an evaporative cooler like we do. Best invention since
pivot irrigation.

One has to get used to it. I feel much more comfortable than with
traditional A/C but we have to make sure to always use coasters for
drinks such as beer that just came out of the fridge. Else there'll be
ugly water stains developing on the table.
Evap cooling doesn't work too well in the Muggly Hot weather we get
here in the "interlaken" district of Ontario. 81% humidity doesn't
evaporate much even at 90F.
