HVAC Tips

Hands-On Jake delivers a full Amana PTAC maintenance checklist—filters, coils, drains, heat strip testing, lubrication, and real routines to extend life 10+ years.

Long-lasting HVAC components and smart design reduce waste, extend HVAC life, and support circular-economy thinking. Small choices, big impact.

Proper ventilation + smart airflow design cuts HVAC load, boosts comfort, and slashes energy waste. Small design choices, big sustainability gains.

Practical Jake breaks down the most common Amana PTAC problems—cooling failure, heat strip issues, leaks, noise, and fault codes—with fast, real-world fixes.

Data Jake breaks down PTAC efficiency, operating costs, cooling vs heating usage, electricity charts, seasonal examples, and ROI so you know what you’ll actually spend.

No-BS Jake compares PTAC, mini-split, and window AC units on BTU performance, install difficulty, noise, and heating so you pick the right system for your room.

Technical Jake breaks down PTAC airflow, CFM charts, compressor noise behavior, sleeve design, and vibration fixes to achieve quiet, powerful PTAC performance.

Accountability Jake lays down pro-level Amana PTAC installation rules: sleeves, wiring, drainage, sealing, insulation, and noise control—no shortcuts, no excuses.

Tony explains why the Amana 7,400 BTU wall AC can’t cool multiple rooms—airflow limits, BTU spread, humidity control issues, and real-world performance facts.

Tony reveals the real cost of running a 7,400 BTU heat pump—hourly, monthly, and yearly expenses for cooling, heat pump mode, and electric backup heat.

Jake compares electric heat strip vs heat pump PTAC units with real heating performance, cost-per-hour numbers, cold-weather reliability, and best use cases.

Tony explains which wall sleeve fits the Amana 7,400 BTU unit, how sleeves affect airflow, drainage, noise, and why the wrong sleeve causes major performance issues.
