I have been listening to too much television lately.
- I loved some of those corny advertisements, and they were even worse when they became infomercials.
I knew my thermostat had WiFi, and I thought my air conditioning also had WiFi. I thought about how much money I could save if the air conditioning unit worked mostly on batteries. I could buy a charging dock and plug the air conditioning unit whenever it started lagging. All air conditioning units work on electricity, so I thought it would be more convenient. If you had rechargeable batteries in the AC, and a convenient charging dock in the backyard, it would make life easier. My husband had all kinds of tools that used rechargeable batteries. I told him my idea, and he just looked at me like I had a third eye, or my head had gotten smaller. He asked if I was serious. I was totally serious. I wanted to know if our air conditioning unit could be run with batteries? He told me our solar panels charged batteries that kept our entire house with electricity, so in essence, our HVAC system was battery powered. Putting rechargeable batteries in the air conditioning unit wouldn’t work. There would be no way you could take out the batteries and recharge them. You wouldn’t have air conditioning for the entire time the batteries were charging. I told him we could recharge them while they were still inside. He reminded me that was why it was plugged into the electric system, and why we had solar panels. It was just a thought.
