I second what Gila Monster said; we have some commercial AC units at work that have enough negative pressure to pull air through the condensate drain hole preventing the water from draining - even to the point of overflowing the pan and getting insulation wet causing more issues.

The capacitor also will have a tolerance +/- 10% or something like that. At 2uf, 1.5uf is 25% under rating which might be outside the bounds. The changing of sound of the motor usually isn't a good thing. If you pull/wiggle the shaft end away from the body, there should be no movement. If the...

I'm extremely happy with my Veto Tech LC. After going through bag after bag, I've used this bag exclusively and there's no sign of it slowing down...

This is a common issue with led lighting. Traditional dimmers, as found with fans with incandescent lighting, rely on a potentiometer to introduce impedance, or resistance, into the circuit to lower the voltage supplied to the light. Incandescent lighting and most dimmable CFLs can utilize this...

Wiring the batteries in series adds the voltage but keeps the capacity (amp hours) the of each battery to make the total of 48v. Only one wire can be grounded, and it has to be the end of run that is attached to the load. The red arrows show the direction of electricity Wiring the batteries in...
