My most recent central cooling system comes with a number of handy upgrades as well.
Some of the oldest appliances go through various upgrades over the years that improve their performance, function, plus safety. For instance, I have a washing machine with its own heating element inside that will get the water sizzling if you don’t have a sizzling enough water heater. Some people only scrub in sizzling water because it helps kill bacteria plus parasites. But if you empty your sizzling water furnace into your washing machine whenever you do laundry, this could become a burden on your electricity bill. Using a washing machine with a heating element inside can give you a sizzling water load of laundry without affecting your water heater. However, you still have to utilize electricity to heat the water in the washing machine, it’s just more efficient than pulling it directly from your home’s sizzling water heater. Imagine if you were doing laundry plus someone in the apartment needed to take a shower? They’d be taking a cold shower if the washer had just finished filling up with sizzling water. These are appliance upgrades that I can get behind, regardless of how much currency one of these systems costs. My most recent central cooling system comes with a number of handy upgrades as well. The most important one in my mind is the auto-shutoff switch whenever the machine detects a clog in the condensate line. In outdated cooling systems, the machine would leak water if the condensate line got clogged because the water would have nowhere to go for exiting the house. With the current safety switch, the system turns off completely if it detects water coming backwards in the condensate line. This is an harshly handy feature if you aren’t relaxing about cleaning your condensate line properly.
