The summer of 2009 is fast approaching and with that, the demand for air conditioners. Portable air conditioners (mobile air conditioners) have become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. While most people spend their time in only 1 or 2 rooms of a home, the costs associated with cooling the entire house can be prohibitive. Not all air conditioners are listed by consumer research . However, that does not mean that the other’s are not quality, simply that they are not discussed.
Portable air conditioners come in different energy capacities. A 7,500 BTU portable air conditioner can comfortably cool a room up to 200 sq ft. while a 13,000 BTU air conditioner will cool over 400 sq. ft. All portable air conditioners I reviewed include a window kit which simplifies the setup, allowing the air conditioner to be used almost immediately upon delivery.
It makes little sense to cool an entire home with central air when you can cool 1 or 2 rooms with a portable room air conditioner or room air cooler. Most portable air conditioners, like those manufactured by Soleus Air or Sunpentown, have wheels which allow them to be transported from one room to the other. Mobile air conditioners are great for home offices or for senior citizens who are on a tight budget.
In addition to cooling your room down to 61 degrees, portable air conditioners also dehumidify the air at the same time. Some units are capable or removing up to 65 pints (8 gallons) of water per day from the air. You may be able to use your portable air conditioner during the winter, if you purchase one that has a built in heater.
The Soleus Air- LX-140 is a 14,000 BTU remote controlled air conditioner which has a dehumidifier and built in heater -all in 1 unit. This unit retails for $799 but we found it priced at a discount for $589 at www.eHealthSupplies.com, with free shipping. Let expensive units , such as the Sunpentown WA-7500 (7500 BTU) can cool up to 200 sq. ft for less than $375. In all, eHealthSupplies.com has 31 different unit to choose from. If you have any questions, their live customer support person can help you choose which portable air conditioner is best for you. Good Luck!

Reiker Fan has come up with a brilliant design, a heater ceiling fan, also known as the Reiker Room Conditioner. When one thinks of a fan, they normally think of a way to cool the room during the summer in order to lower air conditioner bills. However, Reiker Fans are designed to not only keep you cool during the summer but to also keep you warm during the winter.
These Reiker heater ceiling fans install like any other ceiling fan and cool or heat any room up to 400 sq. ft. They also come with a remote control (certain models) which makes adjusting the fan speed and tempertature easy. The manufacturer states that these fans can save up to $225 per year, in essence paying for themselves within a short period. These heater fans have recieved excellent reviews from the customers who use them.
The ceiling fan is designed to use from 492 to 1485 watts (less than the 1875 watts used by a standard hair dryer) when you turn on the heater. As the unit continues to heat the room, it lowers the wattage required down to an astonishing 496 Watts which will provide maximized savings on your heater bill. During Winter, costs as little as 5 cents/hr. to operate and only 1 cent/hr. during the summer. Lifetime Manufacturer warranty makes this a great offer. Visit the manufacturer or eHealthSupplies.com (Free Shipping) to purchase this product for your home or office.

Pruthviraj Patil has suffered from hypertrichosis, a rare genetic condition also known as Werewolf Syndrome, since birth. He is believed to be one of only 50 people in the world with the condition.
Pruthviraj’s family have tried a range of treatments – including homeopathy, traditional Indian Ayurvedic remedies and more recently laser surgery – but none has proved successful.
Now he has appealed to doctors to help him find a permanent cure.
I would like to get the hair removed but even after laser treatment it grows back. The doctors don’t have any answers,” he said.
The thick matted hair that covers Pruthviraj’s face has caused him to be stared at and bullied throughout his childhood, and he rarely leaves his home village in India because of the cruelty of strangers.
“It is difficult when I venture outside of my hometown or where people don’t know me,” he said. Read the Rest Of THe Article

I live in the desert in Southern California and the tempertature reached 100 degrees today. We have all the windows closed and curtains closed but I think I need to invest in blinds for my windows. I have been hesitant to put blinds on all 20 of my windows due to the cost but I think this summer’s air conditioning bill will proove it to be a money saving endeavor- I found a website: http://www.selectblinds.com/ that offers a wide variety of blinds so I thought I would share the information. They have nice Faux Wood blinds among many other options.
