The main trouble was the heat. It could have been worse but in the middle of September it still gets really hot in the Florida Panhandle.

Just something to kick around. If things hold together until next summer, I will be getting two of these for my home as part of the backup system. Each unit is a heat pump with roughly a ton of cooling or a ton of heating. Roughly.

Solar AC Part3 ECO MODE (YouTube).

From the Practical Prepper website:

Air Conditioning.

I am looking at the off grid units, since I already have batteries and inverters.

Where I live it is pretty mild during the summer months, however the humidity will get you. I do have a very efficient central exhaust fan to cool the home and close up in the morning. These units will remove the humidity.

Cool stuff! I don't need air conditioning any time up here, but engineer775's channel on YouTube is really worth a look for anyone.

His rocket stove water heater is really great! When time allows, one will be built and installed here with a pump on the inlet side (cold water side) of the heating coil for reheating a solar drainback tank if every needed (open loop, pure water, usually heated with copper core collectors).
