As a home inspector I'm down with all of this....in TX if it's below 60F they shouldn't be ran, with at least a 24 hour period above that temp before attempting a test.

A house AC is not a car AC. Running a car AC occasionally in the winter is recommend, actually, or at least used to be, to keep everything properly lubed and sealed. Leave it off for too long, things crack, you lose the coolant. And has been mentioned, in most modern cars, turning on the windshield defrost engages the AC to dry the air prior to heating it.

Anyway, I think this thread has once again clearly shown who is being honest and who is not. Really not all that hard to figure out.

I think the most important thing about this thread is to educate yall on air conditioners.

I recently moved from a condo with a wall unit to a house with an HVAC system with outdoor condensing unit.

Our home inspector would not turn it on during the inspection b/c the outside temperature was below 50. He signed off on the house and noted that he'd come back in a month to check the HVAC b/c we'd still be going through mortgage crap by then so the timing worked out.


"Air conditioning manufacturers and HVAC professionals agree, an outdoor condensing unit should not be run in cold weather for any reason. The cause of this prohibition is the oil used to lubricate the compressor. There’s a significant amount of oil in the compressor and it functions like oil in your vehicle’s engine.

Just like engine oil, compressor oil for condensing units has different grades. The oil that is used in central air conditioner compressors is summer-weight oil. It is a heavy grade of oil that works well in warm conditions. It can heat up and still provide the compressor with the lubrication and protection required, something lighter grade of oil could not do. In cold weather, the oil is too thick for the safe functioning of the compressor.

Most HVAC technicians and home appraisers won’t run a central air conditioner unless daytime temperatures are above well above 60 degrees F for at least 2-3 days prior to the test."

A/c in your car works the same way. In new cars. They have ambient temp sensors. If its too cold outside they dont run. It can damage the system.

Older cars will come on until the evap temp sensor gets to its desired temp. Then shut off.

Not only can you get away with ripping people off in the classifieds, this clearly indicates people do not check feedback...

I am not a big fan of how people can hide their profile. I did not know it was an option. I do not think it is a coincidence that one of the few people to use this feature is somebody who clearly has something to hide. I really think that feature should be turned off, it is not very conducive to building a community.

I can see many good reasons to have the option to hide your profile, this is the Internet after all. And as far as hitting up LAG with PMs, neg feedback, etc.. I'd rather leave him for the Mods to deal with if they so desire.

If you do not feel that information should not be on the internet, do not put it on the internet. Like I said earlier, I do not think it is a coincidence that one of the few members using this has something to hide. This member blocked access to their profile so we all wouldn't see he has been back online selling and posting like he did no wrong.

100% agree with you.
I'm just trying to point out that this is an all ages forum and I'm sure that Paul and crew want to protect, or at least give parents the option to protect, any young ones that move about here.

Peace, out.

There are way too many posts made daily on tb for us to read / monitor them all. We may see something like this on chance, but if you want guaranteed moderator attention use the report function.

Does his profile being blocked prevent his feedback being seen? I ask since as an admin I can see his profile so don't know what net effect is of this

Yes, it appears that it does. You can still see that there is one "negative" transaction against many positive ones, but it doesn't seem that comments can be read.

I do think that as a buyer, and even as a seller, that if someone had an extensive history on TB but had elected to block it from review that this would raise red flags. I don't know how many other people think this way, or if it is even something that should be recommended as a general rule - check their past postings.

I would also think that there is a difference between choosing to block your personal information (or not even posting any at all in your profile) versus choosing to block your posting history. This is a public forum after all, so to impede the review of your history this way does seem a little incongruent.

You can still see the user's feedback but you cannot search the member to find it, you have to actually find a post and click his handle.

I agree both of these are not desirable, will discuss with paul and see what can be done
