My wifey as well as I are residing in the desert for the first time in our lives.
- We started traveling across the country a few months ago as well as both of us finally hit the desert last month.
It’s a lot hotter here than the more than 2 of us originally expected. We had to buy a portable AC unit to help with the heat. I am thankful there is no humidity. My wifey as well as I were previously residing in a region with terrible humidity. I would rather have 100 degrees with no humidity than 85 degrees with 90% humidity. Still, the heat is terrible when you have no trees to block the sun. My wifey as well as I had to disinfect the air filter on the portable AC unit only one week after both of us purchased the machine. I woke up in the afternoon as well as the AC unit was spitting out sizzling air. I turned off the device as well as turned it back on, however that did not service the problem. I decided to check the air filters as well as I was entirely surprised when they were covered in dust as well as dirt. I did not realize there was that much dust as well as dirt in the indoor air as well as I was a little disgusted by the sight. After I cleaned all of the air filters with sizzling soapy water, the AC unit finally started putting out freezing air again. It seems like the air filters will need to be cleaned bi-weekly as long as my wifey as well as I are residing in the desert… Otherwise, both of us are going to have a lot of unnecessary mangle that could cause problems.
