Filter Wallet Case

Make Today Air Conditioner Appreciation Day!

I know what you are thinking: but, there is no such thing as Air Conditioner Appreciation Day! There could be, though. All you have to do is take a little time to make sure your air conditioner is running properly. Why is this so important? Air conditioners do more than cool and dehumidify air. They also filter out the pollen in the air. Dust mites and mold hate the cool dry air so air conditioners dissuade them as well. They also discourage cockroaches because those little critters hate the airflow an air conditioner provides. A poorly maintained air conditioner can spread airborne bacteria and allergens. It also can produce enough prolonged noise to cause hearing damage. It is also potentially hard on your wallet because it can consume more energy.

Now that we have covered the importance of air conditioning maintenance are you wondering where to start? Look no further than you air conditioner filter. The filter(s) on your air conditioner need to be replaced and/or cleaned regularly. Dirty filters reduce the efficiency of an air conditioner substantially because the dirt blocks the normal air flow. When the airflow is blocked, the air that bypasses the filter can carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair heat absorbing capacity of the coil. Remember how poorly maintained air conditioners consume more energy? Well, a clean filter lowers the consumption of energy by 5-15%.

You may now be wondering where the filter is located on your unit. If you have central air conditioning, the filter is located somewhere along the length of the return duct or in the air conditioner itself. If you have a room air conditioner, the filter is mounted in the grill that faces into the room. Some filters are reusable and need to be cleaned. Others are disposable and need to be replaced. During the cooling season you should clean or replace the filter(s) every month or two. If the air conditioner is in constant use, is subject to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the house, your system may need more frequent attention.

Another place to check on your machine is the coil. The coil and condenser coil collect dirt over the months and the years. One way to slow down the collection of dirt on the coils is to make sure the filter is clean. If the coil is insulated by dirt, the ability to absorb heat is reduced. It is important to check and clean the coil every year. You might also need to check the outside coil (or condenser coil). You should check to see if dirt is collecting on its fins. Make sure you minimize the amount of dirt and debris near the condenser unit and allow for adequate air flow around the condenser as well. You should also make sure that foliage is trimmed at least two feet back from the coil.

To complete your Air Conditioner Appreciation Day rituals, you should check the coil fins, condensate drains and window seals on your unit. Coil fins are easily bent and can block air flow through the unit. There is a tool that will comb the fins back into their original position called a fin comb. For the condensate drains, you should pass a stiff wire through the drain channels occasionally. This is important because if the channels are clogged the unit is prevented from reducing humidity. This excess moisture in the air can cause discoloration of walls or carpet. If you have a room air conditioner, you should check the seal between the air conditioner and the window frame. The seal should make contact with the metal case of the unit. The seal can be damaged by moisture which allows cool air to escape from your home.

Checking the filter, coil, coil fins, condensate drain and window seals on your air conditioner should complete your observance of Air Conditioner Appreciation Day. What is that you say? You are upset that it is over so soon? Never fear. I doubt your air conditioner will mind if you make every day Air Conditioner Appreciation Day!

Is this a Good Lens?, Tamron AF28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 Lens?

ive been shopping around on Ebay
for my first Slr Camera
the cheapest I found [including shipping]
$501.11 Canon Rebel Xs
comes with
Body, Tamron AF28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 Lens, Wide angle lens, High Grade Telephoto Converter Lens, 4GB SD Memory Card, UV Filter, Multi-Card Reader For USB Port, Memory Card Wallet, Deluxe Soft padded Shockproof Case for Professional Digital Camera, Deluxe Photo / Video Fluid Head Tripod, Table Top Tripod, Camera and Lens Cleaning Kit, Screen Protectors, Canon LP-E5 Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery, Canon Quick Charger, Canon Wide Strap, Canon Video Cable,Canon USB Cable, Canon Software CD-ROM

Okay lets see ... one step at a time.

* Most entry level DSLR's come with a 18-55 mm lens. Perfect for shooting landscapes, groups, friends and doing portraits. The 28-80 is a lens designed for use on 35 mm and full frame DSLR's, not the camera you are buying. It canNOT shoot landscapes, nor can it shoot groups of people @ 28 mm it is nearly a "normal" lens.
* If you look the so-called "wide angle lens is NOT a lens but an add-on converter to make your 28 -80 mm act like a wide angle lens depending upon that its magnification factor is 0.40x, 0.25x, etc.

* Same with the "telephoto converter" Very low quality images can be expected from these two add-on "lenses"

ALL this stuff, leads me to believe that the camera you are buying is a gray market camera and all the "stuff" is an incentive to get you to buy a camera that may cause you a multitude of problems if it ever needs to be repaired.

Here is what a Canon Rebel XS camera with a 18-55 mm lens and all the things Canon places in the cameras box costs from a reputable camera store on line.

What is in the official Canon box:

Rebel XS Body (Black or Silver)
EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Wide Strap EW-100DBIII
Video Cable VC-100
USB Interface Cable IFC-200U
Battery Pack LP-E5
Battery Charger LC-E5
EOS Digital Solution Disk and Instruction Manuals
"Great Photography is Easy" Booklet and "Do More with Macro" Booklet

Be fearful of eBay. Many slimy creatures inhabit its nooks and crannies

If you later want a second lens, the best next lens would be the Canon 55-200 mm so you can shoot sports, action and some wildlife shots.

Avoiding generic lenses is usually prudent
