    Yeah those are good points, sure. I shouldn’t wear headphones while driving, and the door speakers are basic anyway, so I don’t see that a priority right now, but have considered that before. TBH, the only music I do listen to via steaming service is the stuff I haven’t bought physical copies of yet, and copied over.








  • And now you’ve stumbled upon the debate that us air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics are all participating in. Refrigerants right now have some sort of danger.

    R-22 has an ozone depletion potential. It has clhlorine atoms that break up ozone in the atmosphere, and it’s been discontinued in 2020.

    R-410A has flourine atoms, so has no ozone depletion potential but has a global warming potential, like CO2. It’s the current refrigarant for air conditioners and heat pumps, next to be phased out when we find a better replacement.

    Ammonia is natural and not harmful for the environment, but flammable and toxic in high concentrations. Lucky for you, most air conditioning or residential/commercial refrigeration systems don’t use it, it’s only large scale industrial refrigaration, like fisheries, ice cream and yogurt factories, etc.

    Some say the hydro companies are pushing heat pumps to make more money. They also require more maintenance than a furnace, which also cost $$. Change your filters, and have your electrical components checked at least once per year and your system be happier in the long run and you’ll save on break downs and repairs.

    Me, I just try to do a good job, practice good workmanship to make sure my installs and the equioment I maintain don’t leak or break. That’s how I’m doing my part for the planet

    We’re constantly trying to do better and be better, it’s just a long process.

    I’m not autistic, and haven’t heard of infodumping so I don’t know what it is, but I just saw the original on all, and got curious so decided to check out what this sub is all about. Then I saw this, and I’m dying with laughter this is so funny.

    Also, new to this site so I’m not really sure what we call our communities here instead of subs. Or what to call the page you see when you log in, instead of calling it all.
