A new ad campaign in Thailand by one air conditioner company shows that their air conditioners also help in removing odors from homes and apartments in a unique way; the ads take the concept of literally. Run in a series, the ads feature the outside of homes and business with arms jutting from the walls, extending the sources of the bothersome smells. The advertisements feature everything from cigarettes to frying pans and incense being held outward by some anonymous arms as though the building itself is rejecting such scents.

In a bizarre story of rescue, a 7-year-old was saved after she fell from a third story apartment building window. The child was reportedly standing on top of the window unit air conditioner when she lost her balance and fell. New York bus driver Steve St. Bernard was there to catch the child before she hit the ground. St. Bernard pulled a muscle in his arm catching the girl, but is expected to recover just fine. The parents are not being charged with anything at this time.

These days, before a structure is ever built, how the air conditioning and heating works is taken closely into consideration and even frequently augments the original design of a building or home. When looking into the design of a city, where buildings stand that were built in the early 20th century, many of these buildings where HVAC systems were an afterthought now contain window units that contribute to not just the building, but also the city's overall design. Many city dwellers take for granted just how much these strictly-utilitarian objects have reshaped the architecture of many cities that refuse to age due to existing buildings that have stood since before the window unit HVAC system was ever developed. Concentrating more on the unintended design of urban scenery, Architecture Lab Online Magazine helps bring out how these machines free of artistic design have actually helped reshape the look of the modern downtown metropolis.

Heat will make people do crazy things, but no group of people cross that line quite like the dedicated (or insane) people on this website. Dangling out of windows far above the streets below in order to fix air conditioners, these dare devils take their lives in their own hands and all for the sake of a cooler apartment. It is important to report that the air conditioning repair expert's at Tulsa's own A Best Air do not encourage anyone to attempt any such feats and acknowledge that these individuals are not professional air conditioner repair specialists. Still, observe the bravery and utter stupidity of these do-it-yourselfers as they put it all on the line (and at times, all on the air conditioner) for the promise of a cooler living quarters.
As the heat cranks up, everyone is looking for the big money-saving secret to keeping down utility costs. In many instances, it's not one big cost-cutting secret but rather many smaller ones. With a little time and planning, you can make these energy cutting secrets work for your family as the days continue to get warmer this summer in Oklahoma.
Let your dishwasher do its job.
Dishwashers were designed with convenience in mind, but rarely do we really think about them being energy efficient. How efficient? More efficient than you. It may come as a surprise that you end up using less water when you let your dishwasher wash the dishes than what you might use when you wash them by hand.
Go big at the grocery store.
While it might not seem like a cost-cutting measure at the time, the more your refrigerator is filled, the more efficient it is. Open spaces don't tend to hold in the cold like a load of groceries do when the door is open. If you have a lot of space in your freezer, something as simple as a few more ice trays can help keep your ice box cooler for less. In addition to that, you'll have all the ice you could ever need at a moment's notice.
Don't be afraid of your microwave.
Radiation aside, your microwave is a lean, mean, cooking machine; more so than your stove or oven. For foods that don't suffer from being microwaved, your microwave is one of the most efficient cooking devices in your kitchen.
Kick it up a notch.
There is no reason for you to be hot in your home, but in the summertime, there's definitely no reason for you to be cold when it comes to saving on your electric bill. By raising the temperature on your thermostat from the typical 72 degrees to the neighborhood of 78 degrees, you'll notice a decent amount of savings on your electric bill at the end of the month without a considerable change in temperature. Also, why pay for cold air you're not enjoying? When you leave the house, turn the thermostat to around 80 or 85 degrees. Keep ceiling and box fans running to circulate the cool air along with making sure all windows are firmly closed with a tight seal. The air conditioner will continue to keep the humidity down, but the raised temperature will also keep your electricity bill down as well.
Choose efficient times of day to use heat-generating appliances.
By using your dishwasher, stove, or dryer during the hottest parts of the day, you're making your air conditioner work overtime to keep your home cool. Whether it's the steam from the dishwasher, an open dryer door, or open oven door, using these appliances on the hottest part of the day is kicking your air conditioner while it's down. By waiting till the cool of night settles or getting a head start by performing these household duties early in the day, your air conditioner and electric bill will thank you.

As the summer heat is turned up, keeping the home cool is becoming a concern once again for Oklahomans. One concern for those living in apartments or smaller homes that don't allow for room for the ductwork needed for a central air conditioner come the decision of which type of air conditioner to install; a window unit or a ductless air conditioner. While a window unit air conditioner is fairly inexpensive as far as AC's go and more simple to install, it comes with a whole range of other potential problems because of its location being installed in a window. A ductless air conditioner does have many advantages, such as being reliable and efficient, they are typically more costly to install and have a higher initial price tag.
