I gotta agree with Stretch about the humidity issue. Whenever a customer
calls about humidity being too high, the first question they are asked
is "Do you have the fan in the on position?" If so, as soon as the
compressor shuts off, the system converts from being an air conditioner
to an evaporative cooler. We have a policy that if we are on a call, and
find the fan in the on position, to let the customer know this, advise
them of the possibility of getting mold in the ducts, then note it on
the invoice and have them sign it. We also find besides air circulation,
some people will run the fan continuosly for the constant noise, which
they get used to, rather than having it on and off-- especially people
with infants sleeping. (Usually these are upflow units in a hall closet
close to the bedrooms) Larry
