It has been like I moved to Georgia or Texas.

If you're going to Alaska to cool off stay away from the interior. Many years ago (1969) when I was a young SSgt in the USAF, I was stationed at Fort
Yukon AFS. The summer that I was there it was 101 degrees F. Of course we didn't have AC and if you opened a window in your room you had to also
raise the blackout shade and then try to sleep with the midnight sun in your eyes. However, relief came that winter with 70 below zero with a
miserable 0% humidity.

Right now as I'm typing this sitting in my GMC it's 85 degrees inside with one AC unit on. The weatherperson tells me it is 96 degrees outside but my
digital thermometer on the back patio says it's 102.2 degrees.

After spending many summers in Alaska, upper New York, and Maine I really love this weather, heat and humidity feels good.

That is the way it was a few years ago when I was there. There is only one bad turn there and you are going down hill if you are westbound. DO NOT
TRY IT eastbound. You come around a 5 mph almost 180 degree turn and immediately start up a very steep climb. If you geet stuck, there is no place
to turn around without backing down to the turn again. There is a parking area on the inside of that turn where you could turn around.

I put a 1 ton Freidrich PTAC heat pump through the wall in my home shop area 6 years ago. This year it started cooling poorly cold on only one end of
the coil. Both fans work and coils are like new. Warranty on sealed R410 system is 5 years. So of course. I had assumed it was a good Houston TX
unit, but this is a made in China. I ordered a new one for $900 because probably 500 to have a dealer look at it. I can do 12, 22 and 134a but
never messed with 410 and you would have to add service fittings, which still doesn' t fix the leak.

Same here. I am very leery of having to move away from R-22 that I can easily fix. I have nothing that will work with the new refrigerant.

Today in NC it's dark cool and wet.....just like a Scottish summer (where it's actually sunny and warmish today)

Our house air is 14 years old and they keep trying to sell us new one......it's the furnace part that has given us the most trouble.....with already
one new furnace housing and two fan blades. The fan blades rust and fail......but of course you cannot just buy the blades.....you need to get new
motor and housing as well.
What a rip off......firstly make the damned fan blades a spare part or better still make them of a material that does not rust out every 6 or seven
years!

Our plan when retired is summer's in Scotland where we still have an apartment and do our RVing in Spring and Fall.
Not decided where to spend Winters......though I would chose somewhere near Cape Canaveral.

That's the scavenger fan that's failing? Mine does the same. It had a 220 fan which cost a fortuna. I got a 30 dollar 220 - 110 transformer from
eBay and use a 110 volt one which is sbstantially cheaper. I found the fan manufacturer but they won't sll in less than hundred lots. The problem
is, that fan is pulling very hot exhaust full of water vapor.
