Best Charities For Climate Change (2024 Updated)

All must agree – Bill Gates has the brain to assess a science problem. All must agree – Bill Gates has nothing to gain and nothing to lose by not telling the truth. He is unbribable. So he is uniquely placed to dispassionately and analytically come to this conclusion: climate action is required and the answer *must* include nuclear energy.

No spin, no polemics. and every other answer is wrong.

Highly recommend to all, whether you believe in climate change or not. Bill Gates is an author easy to read. He lays out his facts, ideas, plans and goals in straight forward language. Impactful.

I found this book very informative, and written in an easy understandable way. It was as if Bill Gates and I were sitting at the kitchen table over a cup of tea, while he explained it all. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially the doubters.

This new Sensi unit carries a lot of functionality over from the previous touch version of the thermostat. It offers a very sensitive touchscreen that works very responsively, and uses a “standard” Emerson footprint that should allow you to install it as a replacement for many thermostats in the same footprint on the wall.

This device does require a C-Wire in the old Thermostat area, as it requires a “Constant” power source to operate. Setting up the thermostat physically is practically simple. The mounting plate provides a place to secure the thermostat to the wall, replacing previous mounting plates from your previous thermostat, and the wiring is all self-contained in an integrated wiring harness.

This thing installs just like less expensive traditional thermostats. The interface is very simple, and most day-to-day controls are available on the touch screen. Its bright, but seems to stay as bright during the day or night – This can be distracting in dark rooms, as if the thermostat is in a main living space this light can be a disturbance.

Touch controls are responsive, and provide all temperature, fan, and programming controls right on the screen. The app interface is largely just a phone-based version of what you see on the screen, with additional programming interfaces around setting temperature scheduling, and an interface to kick off enrollment in one of the supported smart home ecosystems (Google Home/Assistant, Alexa, and HomeKit are all supported.

) I was able to test this with Google Home and HomeKit, and enrollment was simple and easy. Voice commands to both GA and HomePods in the house easily adjusted temperature and allows for a readout of current temperature from the system.

This unit lacks the ability of some more expensive thermostats to work with external temperature sensors, so its not going to work for all home scenarios, but if you’re just replacing a single-sensor thermostat situation, this will work well, and introduce all of the app-controlled elements and integrations with smart homes that the other guys offer.

The Emerson Sensi Touch thermostat is a relatively easy to setup and configure thermostat. It easily pairs with Siri/Homekit, Google Assistant, Alexa, and even Samsung SmartThings (though I didn’t test with Alexa and Samsung).

Though my setup is a traditional gas furnace and air conditioner setup, it’s compatible with electric heat, radiant heat, and even heat pumps with auxiliary heat. Installation is a relative breeze if you’re comfortable with the idea of removing your existing thermostat which can have up to 10 wires running into it with certain setups.

For my setup, it was 5 wires. Keep in mind that if you have an older analog thermostat or a programmable thermostat using batteries, you may need to replace the current thermostat wire, which means calling a professional.

The installation kit included also has stickers for the wires should the connections be mislabeled. The unit itself is stylish. You can also get a backplate for it if you want some contrast with your wall.

Once wired up, setup is easy. It’ll walk you through connecting, either via HomeKit with an iPhone or a more traditional WiFi pairing method with Android devices. You’ll also need to create a Sensi account in the Emerson Sensi app; this will allow you to set the temperature from your phone, program schedules for when the system changes temperature, and helps you pair the thermostat to Google, Alexa, and SmartThings for voice assistant control.

Compared to my previous smart thermostat, the Sensi was much easier to configure for WiFi and operating the thermostat itself is much easier thanks to the touch display. The only real problem I came across was due to removing my old thermostat, but once that was done, I found the installation relatively easy.

It also had more features as far as controlling my cooling system is concerned, from how long my furnace blower should run to what temperature range is acceptable between runs (the temperature can vary by around 3 degrees at the thermostat where my previous thermostat would constantly turn the system on and off if it varied by a single degree).

Other things that this thermostat can control are variable speed blowers, humidification, dehumidification, and multiple Sensi thermostats can be used to control multizone HVAC systems. So would I recommend this thermostat? If you want a connected and easy-to-use replacement for your older thermostat, especially one that doesn’t allow for programming, then yes, absolutely.

It’s also a good replacement for more basic WiFi thermostats. The ease of installation and design make this unit worth the cost.

Centuries from now people will locate a papyrus of untold wealth called – DRAWDOWN Attending an Extinction Rebellion slide show at the local Portland library was totally mind blowing the first picture was of golfers hitting their balls on the golf course as the sky was blazing with fires.

It also shocked me at another function where a UN delegate spoke about the rising tides of oceans as a slide of two Fijian men stood on what was left of their roof floating at a nearby beach. Bible, go to book or research document, references, anyone Citizen Science, Scientist, primary/secondary students, your parents, grandparents would be able to understand the importance of this book as it’s on my book shelf with others on the environment and climate change.

Congratulations Paul Hawkins, solutions to feeding the world, sustainability, biodiversity, governments, Traditional Owners of lands, oceans, marine and forest life, insects, birds, lizards, old growth forests our Earth cannot sustain ‘coal mines, fossil fuels being dug out, loss of human life because we as humans are money hungry! Governments who aren’t acting responsibly to stop rising tides, stop making plastics, stop throwing your junk off the boat, out the car put it in the bin and recycle it.

Thank you the swiftness of delivery within the time frame was excellent and I appreciate getting emails informing me of books similar to what I read, what other bookshop takes an interest like this.

Haven’t had a chance to read it since it only came a few days ago. I have read the beginning pages which lay out the ground work and progress hoped for in the book by many scientists scholars activists and all people who care about our planet.

Instead of going down a negative path it looks like the book is offering encouragement over a great many worthwhile endeavors to get us back on safer ground.

This book does what it says on the tin. Looking at current and future technology and techniques this book describes what can be done to reduce the globes carbon emissions, the economic cost, sometimes social cost and an estimate of how much can be reduced over a period of time.

Fascinating read and I have used this in my work to push people’s thinking beyond the mainstream to work towards carbon reduction.

I’ve been using two of these in my Liberty Franklin 50 along with a Goldenrod. Safe is mounted in my garage, and I live in the Southeast US where it gets real humid in the spring & summer months. Keeps everything dry inside.

Probably overkill for this size safe, but wanted to keep rust away. I actually bought four of these, and every two weeks I swap two of them out. So, I’m going to buy another to replace one that only fell from about a foot of height.

It splayed out at the seam and all the little dry-beads went EVERYWHERE. My fault, not the product’s. I would recommend these to others.

It’s fine, but having two in my 12 gun safe only lasted about 2 weeks before I had to recharge. After recharging they still didn’t bring humidity down more than a couple points, I had to add other desiccants to the safe to get the humidity level back down.

Save your money and buy something better.

Bought this less than a year ago, sometime between February and March of 2019, and within a week of buying it, the indicator showed if was wet. I figured it needed a recharge because who knows how long sat on the shelf, but after recharging it with the recommended time and leaving it in the safe for a week and checking it, the indicator turned green, again.

Can’t tell if it was defective or not, but I’m not going to keep buying or exchanging just to test and see. I had better results with that oven activated stuff from Gander Mountain.

We have True brand freezers and refrigerators throughout our cafe and very limited space. We have never had any issues with any of our True Brand units and have been in business for 4 years now. As our business has grown we needed more freezer space and decided to replace one of our prep counters with this freezer.

We use the counter top as additional prep space. I was a bit hesitant to order from this website due to other reviews about them online, but it was such a smooth transaction! The freezer shipped quickly and was packaged well.

Everything arrived quicker than estimated with no damage and the price was significantly less than other restaurant supply stores. We will definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

True never fails, The prep station is a piece of art. Easy to access the interior, pans accessable and prep board is spacious and sturdy. Money well spent!

Most books on climate change are politically-motivated, weak on scientific evidence and little more than populist scaremongering. Unsettled is very different and very welcome. The author has impeccable credentials, as former Undersecretary for Science in the US Department of Energy (and too many others to mention), and has written the book to take the climate debate away from politicians and ill-informed mass media, all with their own agendas and axes to grind.

He has asked and answered the questions that these others have avoided, in a very readable but well-referenced book, to deal with the confusion of the climate science debate and proffer realistic solutions to an issue that will continue to affect us all.

it is not only a timely book but a necessary one to balance out the group-think that has dominated this topic for too long. Highly recommended.

Dr Koonin has been a leader in several areas of science. He has closely studied climate science for years, and was Undersecretary for Science in the Dept. of Energy in the Obama Administration, where he oversaw annual funding of nearly $200 million for climate-related research.

Earlier he was Chief Scientist at BP for 5 years and Provost at Caltech for 10 years. He now is professor at New York University. This book covers all the main aspects of climate with many references to news articles and scientific research papers.

The first 11 chapters explain the science in clear language and a number of helpful graphs. He provides evidence for each of the components of climate, such as temperatures, heat waves, drought and excessive rain, sea level, etc.

, and shows how activists have misreported the science in each of these areas. The second section discusses what might be done to mitigate or adapt to the inevitable changes in climate (which has changed constantly, being warmer than now 2000 years ago and drier than now in the 1930s).

This book should be read by everyone interested in understanding what is known about the earth’s climate.

This is the first book regarding climate change that shows BOTH sides of the issues by using data from the UN Report and U. S. Government report. After reading it, there are problems, but not everything is at the crisis level as usually reported on TV, internet and newspapers.

In fact many things listed only have a 66% probability of happening but are reported as 100% probability. This book made me read the actual report. It’s worth reading to make your own informed decision – The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

At the bottom I am asked to add pictures. All you need to do is look in your newspaper. Floods, drought, wildfires, tornadoes. hurricanes, record high temperatures. The evidence is all around you. In a few words, the book points out that in order to keep our only home planet safe for human habitation, me MUST stop using Fossil Energy and switch to renewable resources.

The book has numerous foot notes meticulously documenting the work of hundreds of studies. 97% of earth scientists agree we have and continue to increase the temperature by trapping the suns infrared energy with increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses.

The problem has been studied to death and always comes up with the inconvenient truth As Noami Klein points out, we do further studies at our peril. Now is the time for quick action. The recent UN report on Global warning points out that previous predictions on the bad effects of the rising temperature have been much too conservative.

It agrees the time to act is NOW. In the last of the “This Changes Everything”, she explains how.

I like your service, the store, and the employees. Your selection of books is excellent. One complaint: You keep the temperature TOO cold in the location in Port Charlotte Florida. I have to have a jacket/sweater in order to stay any length of time seated.

Second suggestion; why do you not have coffee in addition to ice cream and the candies. Just do not bring the noise maker as the one in Venice store.

An informative book providing an overview of the historical, social and political context of climate change and how the spread of facts about climate change has been effectively subverted by corporate interests.

The book explains clearly the most up to date scientific predictions and assessment of the current climate crisis the world faces, and sets out a clear social and political response to tackle the problem.

For anyone who wants to be informed and really understand the political context and power-games behind arguments from climate skeptics, this book will wake you up and hopefully make you angry enough about our only planet and our future survival being threatened by a tiny few to line their own pockets, that you will be moved to take political action.

They say this cooler weighs 630lbs. on the crate and I would assume the pallet weighed close to 75lbs. We removed the shelving which is probably close to another 120lbs. Still talking over 400lbs so be prepared to use some muscles moving this into your location.

We used a combination of dollies and forearm straps for best results. Will update review if we have any mechanical issues with cooler.

Delivery was very quick. Arrived with one small dent about the size of a quarter on the bottom left side. Did not bother me because it will have worse. I use it in the garage to store garden produce and drinks.

Peftect size and running great so far.

I was really excited to get this freezer, we have the temp set on 5 degrees instead of the factory set -10 F. The temp inside the cabin is 20 degrees F (even tho it’s set at 5 degrees F) but it jumps to 40-50 degrees during the day by opening it a lot.

We bought it to replace an older japanese freezer and I wish I hadn’t bought it now because it does not serve our needs, so it just sits empty in my over crowded kitchen. Wish I could return it! Oh, and it did not come with casters!.

I have now read Michael Shellenberger’s book “Apocalypse Never”. He certainly is a well educated person unfortunately only in the Arts and possibly Economics. Like many green activists his life revolves around an ideology and his book contains many anecdotal stories.

He reveals all the tactics of the apocalyptic environmentalist and the apocalyptic veganist. Unfortunately he still believes that CO2 emissions is an issue If one looks at the basic physics of CO2 there is no need for any of this discussion and arguments on how to save the planet C02 is a colourless odourless tasteless and nonpolluting natural gas.

At 400 ppm it means that in the atmosphere there is one molecule of CO2 is amongst another 2500 other molecules. The CO2 molecule produced by human activity is one in about 60 to 80,000 molecules in the atmosphere.

How can this heat the earth Of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere CO2 represents about 3% of them and the human cause CO2 is about. 12%. Water vapour is about 96% of the greenhouse gases and absorbs most of the infrared bands of the one to 100 micro meter except for the 8 to 12 wave length.

Water also absorbs energy from the infrared bands covered by CO2 which are 2. 7 , 4. 3 and 15 micro meters. CO2 can only absorb more of the heat in this range if it is available. There has been no warming on the planet since 1998 and fact in the last five years the planet has been cooling as we enter the Grand Solar Minimum.

Michael Shellenberger doesn’t mention the Milankovic cycles, the Solar cycles, the sun spots, Dansgaard/Oeschger cycle and the Pacific decadal oscillation not the works of Henrik Svensmark, Nir Shaviv Jan Veizer etc.

Brief mention is made of the benefits of CO2.

WANT TO KNOW THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS? This is THE antidote to the climate and environmental alarmism that’s infecting the world’s population. Sure, there is climate change happening. We can change very little of that.

We could spend all of the world’s GDP for the next 10,000 years and make infinitesimally small changes while many millions die from poverty. Pollution is another matter. almost entirely. and we can do something about that.

The belief that we can change the world’s climate is beyond rational thinking or any of the corrupted science that’s being hyped right now at COP26 and elsewhere. No matter how many $Trillions are spent it is obvious that the unfortunates in low-lying islands will never have their islands lifted by 1 millimetre and they’ll never stop the sea rising.

The reality is that ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ is being marketed so that big corporations can cash in on selling so-called new and ”Green’ technology that in reality will cost more to produce and consume more resources than the existing technology.

This is an excellent book regarding the story of environmentalism and the harm it has done to the poorer countries in the world. The author certainly knows his stuff as he has been involved in environmentalism since he was a teenager and believed once that it was important to “save ” the planet- while being totally ignorant of the true history and facts of the dark side of the environmental movement.

He still cares for the planet but now sees things from a different aspect ie the need to get people out of poverty is far more important than to prevent a dam from being built to provide hydro electricity in a 3rd world country because some of the “backers” of environmentalism wanted to “save ” the river so they could kayak down it’s waters.

Truly! The author understands people’s needs are greater than than the alarmism that the wealthy western alarmists oppose and is now working to help those in greater need than the one third of the world who have so much.

I was so encouraged by the author’s willingness to express where his views were wrong, to learn from his mistakes and move on. I believe we could all learn from Michael Shellenberger and his journey.

I originally had a Soleus radiant heater. They don’t make them anymore. Used it for years then donated to the Veterans once the cord got hot near the plug since they can repair anything. This Comfort Zone heater is fabulous! No operating sounds and on Low, it heats up a large room very well.

Haven’t had to use High setting yet. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that instructions say don’t use a power strip and don’t use an outlet that is servicing any other thing. SO you have to put it somewhere that works, and the cord really isn’t long enough for such constraints.

Wish it were 3 feet longer. My cat falls asleep in front of it after staring at it for a while, so she is entranced and in love. It’s a keeper despite the cord issue.

The Comfort Zone Oscillating Flat Panel Heater has a unique design and excellent heat distribution. The design is eye catching with a flat panel that rotates. It is very stable while standing and there is no concern with it tipping as the base is very wide.

I love the you can see the coils and the insides fairly well while it’s in operation. It has excellent safety features which makes me love this heater. One of the great features is that it shuts off completely if tipped over.

It also has an overheat protection sensor which is an excellent addition. I was nervous that the heather would get hot to touch but the actual back and base doesn’t get hot at all! It’s great for a smaller room where you want to save space but get all of the excellent benefits of heat.

I will definitely be using this all winter!.

This is a terrific space heater. It heats my bedroom or office very well. It has two levels, high and low and is completely quiet. There’s no sound what so ever. I like to start it on high and turn to low soon after it heats up.

It’s very light and can easily be picked up and moved around with a kind of grip opening on the back. It’s radiant heat, like a heat dish so it doesn’t blow any air. It just quietly radiates heat. I’ve returned several bulky, noisy heaters and am so glad to have found this one.

I will buy another if I need to.

Needed to buy a Soda cooler since Pepsi was going to take theirs back. Bought the same unit Pepsi had been providing from Prima. Prima reviews looked good online. Purchased on Monday Afternoon and Unit arrived 800 miles away on Thursday.

Great price, super timely shipping, and all is well. Not sure how they could do any better. They will never lose business if this is their normal mode of operation. Thanks.

Using to display and cool cannabis-infused soda at our small retail store. Not noisy as one review stated. Put casters on at install; a great feature!

MERV-16 + carbon coating is exactly what you want to really filter your air. Make sure your blower can handle it, lowering the furnace speed to about 35% and running 7×24 really worked wonders with the California Wildfires last summer.

AQI outside was 200-400, and indoors (with fan running 7×24, blue painters tape on leaky windows/sliding glass doors) was a very happy 25-70. When AQI was 125 outside, indoors improved to 5-12 AQI. If you don’t have a 5″ think furnace filter, get the 20x20x5″, a standard 20″ box fan, and tape the fan to blow through the filter (ensure airflow matches arrow on the filter).

Run on low 7×24, and you will be very very happy. Can’t promise anything with COVID protection, as I’m not qualified, but if the choice is this, vs something basic and MERV-8, this wins. Most of the HVAC contractors are recommending MERV-13 for office buildings.

So beware of excessive pressure drop across the filter, need to change more often, and watch the equipment temperature — restricted airflow will freeze the AC coils, or overheat the furnace, or just burn out the blower motor.

We just replaced our 9 year old builder grade HVAC system with a new Carrier Infinity variable speed system and upgraded the filter from a good Honeywell MERV-11 media filter, which we changed every 3 months, to this better Lennox Healthy Climate Carbon MERV-16 media filter and hoping to get 6 months of use, as the filter is supposed to last up to 12 months, but we like to change more frequently due to allergies.

Although the MERV-16 filter is quite a bit more expensive, we wanted something a little better to help control allergy symptoms and dust in the house and hopefully not have to change as often to help offset the higher cost.

We suggest you shop around for the best price as prices vary widely. Walmart online was the cheapest we found at the time. The carbon is also supposed to help make the air smell cleaner. So far we can say we have noticed an improvement in the indoor air, perhaps partially because of the new HVAC system and partially this filter.

Time will tell if it truly does outperform and proves it’s worth of the higher price. Something else that makes this filter better, is that because of the way it is made with the many rows of vertical pleats, it causes very little air pressure drop, so it should not affect the indoor blower fan as much as even the pleated 1 inch filters do.

The reason I did not give it 5 stars is only because it is more difficult to tell when the filter should be changed as the carbon makes the filter black on one side and gray on the other side, so you cannot just go by sight, but I think this filter (or a generic brand) may also come in a white (non-carbon) version.

The Lennox X6675 Carbon Clean 16 MERV filter fits the larger Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner. The Lennox X6675 has a very high MERV rating for a whole household system. Higher rated filters are for special use such as a hospitals, other limited application and require higher performance furnaces that are not generally found in households.

This filter is about three times as expensive as a Lennox MERV 13 Filter; however, the Lennox MERV 16 Filter has significant more square feet of surface filter and therefore should last 2 to 3 times as long as the less expensive filter.

Actual performance would depend on many factors including the presence of pets, wall to wall carpeting and the cleaning routine in the household. The carbon coating also adds to the performance of the filter.

I am purchasing this high performance filter for a parent that has COPD.

Very inexpensive and it is a MERV 11 filter. I definitely prefer the Lennox MERV filter with its MERV 16 rating, but its cost is considerably more. The problem I have is two Husky dogs that shed like crazy once the warm weather rolls around.

These dogs will quickly terminate the life of any air filter during warm weather, so I compromised by using this excellent filter for summer use, and the MERV 16 one for the rest of the year.

This product is the same branded and built product as what Lennox markets. I checked the size for the product 16x25x5 and compared it to a $160 Merv 16 filter from a Lennox dealer and it’s the same dimensions.

These filters although noted to be 16x 25 x 5 they are in reality measuring about 1/2 inch undersize but again that is how these filters come! Not an issue! Update 1-19-2019. I checked and the filters aren’t exact size and shouldn’t be because the cabinet they go into has a small shelf that it sits on and the end cap that closes the enclosure has a foam pad that pushes against the end of the filter completely sealing this filter all the way around!.

Good filters, though they clog up quicker than one would like. Ideally, one filter per year would be about right (especially in parts of the country where you need heat for several months but rarely need A/C), but the finer the filter, the more gunk that gets caught–not much one can do about that.

And you do not want to be breathing in the crap that gets caught in the filter. If someone made a decent quality knock-off of this intentionally odd filter size (non standard size done to force you to buy the Lennox brand) for a good price, I would switch to those in a heartbeat.

Needed to keep lower level drier in remote property, as it gets damp enough for mold. Bought this Insignia with pump model on sale. 1 yr warranty which extends to 2 yrs with credit card coverage. Here are the key points that we like about this unit.

1. Works better than our older and heavier units, with faster filling of tank and rapid humidity decrease. 2. Needed a gravity drain that is not ‘finicky’. The one this is replacing needs a block under one side to angle it a bit and allow gravity drain reliably.

Completely flat, will just go into the tank and once that is full, unit shuts off. This one drains when level. 3. Bought this model which has a pump, but gravity drain is what we really needed. The pump is only activated when tank is full & it comes out as a trickle.

I guess it would keep tank from overflowing, but I was not confident in leaving unattended. If pump malfunctions, tank would need to be drained manually. Gravity always works LOL 4. We have on smart switch and timer to use when electricity costs are lower at night and on weekends.

This unit turns on and returns to previous settings when power comes on. So a good purchase, works as well or better than more expensive units. Pump may be a gimmick than necessity for most.

The 50 Pint Insignia Dehumidifier works great and does exactly what I need. Our two room, 800-900 square foot, unfinished basement get humid and damp in the spring and summer, which creates that stagnant basement smell.

This dehumidifier quickly cuts down the humidity in the basement and reduced the smell significantly. It stops automatically when full to prevent spilling and flooding and is easy to empty and reinstall the container.

The two rooms in our basement do not have drywall yet, just framing and studs, so airflow is great and the dehumidifier can be placed in the framed out doorway between the two rooms and works for the entire basement.

In a basement that is larger or has walls and doors that restrict airflow, you may need to move the dehumidifier between rooms to have it works effectively. If I place the dehumidifier deep into one of the two rooms instead of equally between the two, it is not as effective for the room furthest from the dehumidifier.

It is perfect for open basements up to around 1,000 sq-ft, but may struggle with larger basements or basements with many sectioned off/individual rooms.

First summer in a “new” house (new to us) that didn’t have AC, and of course this time of the year PLUS with the ongoing pandemic, we’re not going to be able to get a suitable unit installed until well after the summer, so in the meantime we chose to grab a couple of dehumidifiers.

And based on EnergyStar ratings, price point and immediate availability to get straight away, this unit won by a slight margin over a smaller capacity Toshiba at a slightly higher cost from elsewhere, it was a really tough call until I read through available verified purchase reviews for each (4.

6 average star rating for this one, 4. 1 on the other). Plus, these units are made by either Frigidaire (we’ve had great luck with them in the past the one we have running in our crawl space is one) or Midea (leading innovator of the cube dehumidifiers for home use, they also make some of Toshiba’s dehumidifiers), so either one is excellent.

Because of the layout of our home, we needed a dehumidifier upstairs for bedrooms and bathroom and another one downstairs for the main level for kitchen, dining, living, laundry and computer rooms. The main level was never as humid as upstairs and there are multiple rooms so it needs to work a little harder, but the initial running after about an hour managed to pull the humidity down 4% and resulted in approximately 2/3 cup of water in the tank (51 to 47% on turbo setting).

Upstairs it’s a fraction of the footprint of the main level and consists of only a landing, 2 bedrooms and small bath and within the same timeframe it pulled out a cup of water and pulled the humidity down by 12%! We’re certainly looking forward to getting a better night’s sleep tonight (fingers crossed).

Filter cleaning is so easy, when it’s time, shut the unit down, take it off the back (it’s just a screen), run it under some hot water to rinse, dry it off and put it back on. Done. One last thing to note – read the manual.

Even if you simply “plug it in and run it”, there are tips inside that help before one panics that the unit is defective. As we moved the one downstairs around to find an ideal location so it can be 7.

8 in (20 cm) away from any wall and anything beside it, we had to unplug and plug it in again and nearly melted down when the fan compressor didn’t reengage…turns out one needs to WAIT at least 3 minutes before turning the unit back on so it can reset if it didn’t run a cool-down cycle prior to being turned off (fan compressor still running when we turned it off to unplug it).

Waited 5 minutes just to be sure and bingo-bango, fan compressor came back on!.

I have been using this filter since replacing my AC unit in 2012. I have changed the filter cartridge annually while tracking the weight gain of the entire cartridge (old filter weight at change minus the recorded weight when installed new).

The weight gain is 2. 1 oz/year average. (In fact, I believe one could double the filter change time period). At each change I visually inspect the surface condition of the evaporator coils. each inspection has shown immaculately clean fins.

During several routine maintenance calls, the side of the evaporator (unit inside the garage) unit has been exposed to up-close inspection of the fan motor, fan and ducting downstream of the filter, all very clean requiring no additional cleaning.

Inside the house the dust accumulation has been minimal compared to “before-the-filter” filtration 6 to 8 MERV 1 inch thick grocery store filters changed several times per year. No mold or other odors have been detectable since 16 MERV filter upgrade.

The long term advantages of having this high-end filter outweigh the cost difference in aggravation of changing cheaper, less efficient filters with the long term accumulation of dust in the ducts (source of nutrients for mold).

Upgrade to 16 MERV system and use this cartridge or other size of 16 MERV Lennox filter. This is the industry top-rated filter and well worth it.

Let’s be honest, no one likes paying this much for an attic AC filter! BUT. I put the HEPA unit on our new AC system for a reason. This is a better price than Amazon offers. And most importantly, these work! I can get a full year of use from 1 Lennox filter.

I have tried 3 other models of Honeywell filters and not one lasted this long, was this sturdy, or had this much activated carbon filtration media. I’ve seen the results!.

I use the unit as my garage refrigerator at my home. It is great!! Drinks are ice cold and there is room for larger pans when cooking. The customer service at KaTom was simply outstanding!

I ordered this product on April 16 so that we would have it when our seasonal business opened on May 22. We received it just prior to opening date and it would not power on. The company finally responded back the following week after several phone calls.

They sent someone to look at it and the technician said that the control panel was the issue, but that there may be another internal issue causing that problem. He had to get the control panel first to make sure there was not another issue.

He requested the part to be overnighted so that we could get it repaired prior to our busy holiday weekend. As of June 2, we still do not have a usable freezer. Very dissatisfied especially for the amount of money I paid for this!.

This refrigerator works great. We have in on our food truck on the line next to a stove and it has a 36in flat top on top still has no trouble keeping cool. Doors shut by them selves wich is great during service grab what you need and the door shuts it’s self.

We bought this freezer to replace a house hold type freezer we had at the restaurant. We needed a thin freezer as space is a major issue in our kitchen. This freezer works great and the work top is an added bonus.

There is plenty of space inside. We store french fries and onion rings in this freezer to use on the line for service.
