I helped my land lord replace a broken 10 year old window ac unit only to get another one. If you want to get air conditioner and you either rent or have a small room to cool down a portable or a window based air conditioner is the simple solution.

I later helped him putting the AC unit into the wall and took about 8 hours to complete. Window air conditioner is relatively simple:Just unpack and mount. My Land lord wanted to embed and mount it to a wall, which required the to be to be framed. I will save that footage for another video. Dont do the wall mount at home.

Portable Air Conditioner:
Floor unit with wheels and about 12,000 BTU. Easy to install.
PROS:

  • its very simple and easy to setup took me about 15 minutes to setup
  • Its on wheels so you can have it in other room or for storage.
  • They are relatively quiet and refined.
  • Can work on vertical or horizontal windows.
  • May have heating and dehumidfying abilities for year round use.

CONS:

  • You need an window to exhaust out the hot air
  • You need an power outlet close to the window
  • It takes up floor space
  • Pricier than window units

Window Air Conditioners:
The window air conditioner took about 30 min to hour to place on the window and mount the hanging screw and side panels. The hard part is prepping and cleaning the window prior to mounting it.
PROS:

  • Pretty simple to setup – secures to the window.
  • Saves floor space. Some people install them onto the wall to save even more space
  • Lower cost than a portable or a larger home install.
  • Lasts for years… my last window a/c unit lasted 8-10 years before the fan went out.

CONS:

  • Need to have a vertical opening window
  • Sticks out the window
  • For off season, may need to remove and store.

Comparing Toshiba with the Danby, the front design of the Toshiba looks better, however cost is 100 dollars more. Overall both perform well and could share the same remote IR control.

DIY: 2015 – 2019 Honda Fit Engine Air Filter Change. TIP: Watch out for the plastic clips!

Here is a quick how to video on changing out your 2013 – 2019 Honda Fit Engine Air Filter! BTW, my Youtube vlogs and DIYs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

Changing out the Honda Fit Engine air filter takes less than 10 minutes and is very simple. Just buy a Honda Fit Engine Air Filter ( https://amzn.to/36Umj1N ) (HONDA OEM Part Number is 17220-5R0-008 ) , open the hood, pop the 4 clips, shift the air box forward, notice the air filter alignment notch on the side, replace with the new air filter and you are done!

TIP: Watch out for the plastic air box clips! They snap in place on to the metal clip assembly and may easily pop out off. So work carefully, otherwise you will be searching the engine bay for a black plastic clip.

I put so many miles on my Honda’s that I use Honda OEM filters. I change out my engine air about 20,000 – 25,000 miles or its really dirty on my monthly check.

I hope you found this DIY video useful, please like, subscribe, and hit the bell button!
