A dry subject that’s not so cool.

    Ugh. The video is an hour long. I’ve been telling people this forever but these things are pretty useless. Your AC system is a dehumidifier. That’s why there’s water pouring out of it.

    A smarter AC system will run continuously at a lower output as opposed to a binary operation at max output. This will better dehumidify the space.

      But whole point of his channel is that goes into excessive detail about some sort of mundane piece of tech.

        You’re very correct, it wasn’t intended to be any sort of criticism.

      My AC will cool the house, but it will still be uncomfortably humid. I haven’t tried a dehumidifier in addition to the AC, but I’ve been tempted. I don’t want to take the temp in the house too low.

      You can skip a large chunk (he even tells you when) if you’re familiar with the refrigeration cycle.
