Setting the Thermostat Properly for your Air Conditioner

Filed under: Handbags — ewwink @ 10:30 pm


The thermostat is a critical component for the air conditioner as it controls what the temperature of the room would be. This it does by controlling the flow of heat energy into or out of the system. Every air conditioner comes with a thermostat which is either manually operated or can be programmed to work automatically. Get the proper settings to regulate the temperature to your needs. You should have a proper understanding of how to use the thermostat of your air conditioner more effectively.

You can significantly save on electricity by properly adjusting the settings of your thermostat. As amazing as it may sound you can actually save seven to ten percent of the cooling costs in a season for every degree you raise the setting of your thermostat. The ideal temperature to set your thermostat is at 78 degree Fahrenheit or anything higher than that. You can actually use the ceiling fan by adjusting the air conditioner thermostat at such levels and enjoy even more comfort. At the end of the day you have better cooling in your rooms and you pay less for that than you were doing previously.

If you are using a central air conditioning system, you would know that it comes with two fan settings – ‘on’ and ‘auto’. If you have the unit set at ‘on’ then the fan will run continuously no matter if the cooling cycle is on or off. However, having it in ‘auto’ position will have the fan working only during the cooling cycles. Suppose, your central air conditioning works for the entire day, even then it is only about 50% of the time that the cooling cycle will be operative. So for the other 12 hours of the day, the fan if in ‘auto’ mode will not be working. However if it is turned to the ‘on’ mode, it will keep on operating. The result would be more electric onsumption and the difference at the end of the month would be about $25. That is a lot of money you wither choose to save or just let go to waste. In fact having the fan continuously on also is uncomfortable as the humid air sucked in prior while the cooling circle is on, is circulated back to the room when the fan works alone.

These facts show that having the thermostat at the right settings helps you to save quite a few bucks.

Gold Jewelry – How to Tell if it is Real or Fake

Filed under: Jewelry — ewwink @ 3:19 pm


Do you remember in the old cowboy movies when the cowboy would “bite” a gold coin to see if it was real or fake? It seems that even back then clever counterfeiters were plying their trade. Nothing has changed since those times and if fact counterfeiters have become better at their craft if nothing else.

The truth of the matter, is that a fake gold coin could easily pass the “bite” test if it was made out of lead, plated with copper, so it could be then plated in nickel, so it could be then plated in 24K gold. Fake jewelry is nothing new but if you buy plated jewelry you want to do it willingly not by being sold something that is being passed off as being 14K or 18K.

Rule number one, is that if you aren’t buying a piece of solid gold jewelry from a legitimate source, assume it is fake until you have had a jeweler look at it. Just because it has a 14K or 18K stamp on it means nothing any more, because there is so much fake gold jewelry floating around now.

The same rule applies for any type of designer jewelry, because virtually any type of designer jewelry is now being counterfeited overseas. If you are approached on city street by someone that has an 18K gold chain that is still in the original jewelry box, virtually100% of the time it will be fake.

In the typical con it will even still have a price tag on it and they will say that a friend of theirs recently stole it. Another common item that is sold as the genuine article is fake Rolex watches. It too may come in a counterfeit box but these are easy to spot. This is because, the second hand on a real Rolex “sweeps” while the second hand on a fake will move with a “tick”.
