PhotoHunt - Technology


Our tropical climate has several advantages. We don't need seasonal outfits, tourists from cold countries would flock to our beaches plus the high moisture content keeps our skin looking younger for longer. On the other hand, with the intense levels of humidity, it can be also uncomfortable for anyone. That's when air-conditioning feels like a life saver.

We have 3 units of air-conditioner. The latest unit we purchased features inverter technology that adjusts its cooling capacity to maintain a consistent temperature, increasing energy efficiency compared to conventional split air conditioners. Not only it saves electricity, it cools the room faster and inverter's compressor are more silent compared to non-inverter.

These days, most companies have introduced the full range of inverter air-conditioners to the market to meet the increasing demand for energy-saving and eco-friendly items in view of the deepening environmental crisis, resources and global warming issues.

  1. Seems like we are not able to live without any air conditioner, and it hurts when we receive the bill.

  2. My mother could not live through a summer in West Virginia (USA) without her air-conditioner. And it is a temperate and not a tropical climate there. You only need air-conditioning during the summer months.

    The hot summer days that we have in Sweden are as numerable as the fingers on one hand, so air-conditioning is not as important as heating during the long winter months.

    It was interesting to read about how the technology for air-conditioning is going forward in tropic climates, where it must help the well-being and preformance of everyone living there.

    You are so early with your PhotoHunter-post! (I know it is because your time is different than mine.) But I've got to get cracking with my post! I'm doing this NaBloPoMo-challenge for November and have to post something every single day!

  3. That's an interesting take on the theme. I would have trouble without air conditioning in the summer or heat in the winter.

  9. I have to agree that our warm weather is still the best in spite of the heat and rain.

    I don't like the cold and dry weather elsewhere.

  12. Hi Ramblings! How's your weekend?

    I agree with the skin moisture part...since I moved here my skin looks like it aged more than usual. It's too dry here so i need to keep nourishing my skin with lotion which I hated back there in the tropics. I also miss the beaches!

  19. It is so cool to see all the different takes on this theme. There is so much technology around us all the time we can't begin to think of all of it. This is a good angle on it.

  20. We have 2 AC's at home but we mostly use the one the living room. I don't turn it on until is above 75 degrees because the electricity bill comes through the roof! I go out after 5pm during summer, lol. Great post...
