Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

ive got split that was here when moved in 6 years old maybe, unit outside looks filthy on fins plus in worst spot for sun, but works a treat, prob better than 1 yo one in bedroom similar capacity. makes me wonder, they bolted it down to path which isnt level, maybe I should loosen bolts off and pack it up . sposed to be level, not sure how much allowed @plasmo

yeh keeping them clean can be an issue. i just took the inside filter out and hosed it off, prob doesn;t make a difference but needed it .

Re: Night Shift

filter can make a difference if ban enought to effect air flow @plasmo its more the cooling fins on actual unit, mine look dirty, so less air gets around it. might hose it down once heat gone. i had trouble heating w older one . googled it, said valve could be stuck. it came good eventually. cant have been used on heat for a long time/ever. anyway, touch wood, but think get both serviced before next summer, but get quotes first.
