You can check your serial # online at any factory’s websitefor that amount of years. Beyondthat warranty period, people tend to keep their A/C units (outside ones) forabout 10 years or longer. I have had ones last both shorter andlonger dependent upon the brand with the cheapest units provided by the homebuilder lasting the shortest amount of time. Generally, I have only replacedthose when the main compressor failed. Good luck. Mynote- Most AC units require major repairs after 5 years.Parts also may become obsolete by 7 years.

Q4 Sincethe human brain consumes the most energy out of all organs, should we allow forit to have more resting periods? A4 KenSaladin Textbook author and professor emeritus Updated Mon Oddly enough—much to my surprise uponlearning this—the brain consumes more energy when we’re sleepingthan it does when we’re awake. Thebrain attends to more tasks when we’re asleep that we realize. One of these is“taking out the trash,” disposing of or recycling metabolites (such asadenosine) that have accumulated during the day. Neuroscientists have justrecently discovered a system in the brain call the glymphatic system,sort of a pulsating sewer system that appears to flush metabolic wastes fromthe brain into the lymphatic system during sleep. Not only does this seemsto flush out metabolites, but it also may serve as a way for the immune systemto check up on the brain and monitor anything that may be going wrong. Anothertask in the sleeping hours is memory consolidation; “editing” short-termmemories of things that happened during the day when it was receivinga flood of sensory information and creating longer-term memories of what wasmore important. Thehippocampus “tutors” the memory regions of the neocortex during sleep,establishing longer memories than the fleeting memories of the day, likeremembering a doctor’s appointment you made the previous day, or a movie youwatched, more than what you ate for lunch or what shirt you wore. This is presumably why we become unconscious during sleep—to steminformation input so the brain can process what’s already there and sort outthe important from the trivial. There’sstill much we don’t know about the functions of sleep and dreaming. What wedon’t know probably vastly exceeds what we do know so far. But we do know the brain is very,very busy while we’re asleep. It’s not resting but doing many vitalmaintenance tasks that are more effectively done when we’re not getting newsensory input or moving our bodies much. Figuratively speaking, as we get sleepyand nod off, the brain is telling the sense organs and muscles, “Shut up! Stopmoving! I’ve got important work to do, and you’re keeping me from doing it. Go to bed and letme get to it. I’ll see you in the morning. We’ll talk then.” Q5 Whathappens when you eat papaya everyday?Q5 A5 Healthcar Space Answered byRenee Dec 20 You have probably heard of the healthbenefits of papaya. The tropical fruit is high in fiber and vitamin C and hasbeen shown to have beneficial effects on digestion and the immune system.

When the fruit is juiced, it yields ajuice rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, and these antioxidants help yourbody in so many ways. Vitamins C and E promote healthy skin and help it to staythat way, and these antioxidants help ward off signs of aging. Eating papayacan also help you to maintain a healthy complexion for your entire life. Thefruit contains papain, a natural enzyme that helps get rid of dead skin cells. Q6 Ifyou accidentally keep an outside light on, and the bulb of which has died, willit still jack up your electric bill? A6 LoringChien electrical engineer and audiophile for 45 yearsUpdated 23h Itdepends. Incandescentscan be relied on to waste more power when on, but when they go bad, they can berelied upon to draw no power. Basically any failure results in abroken filament so no current passes. LEDs and CFLs are tricky, they are aelectronics system in a bulb. power supply, drivers, and LED array. Failure of a single component in one section can still leave the bulbdrawing power even if dark. So yeah, possibly they can dissipate powerand run up your bill a little when gone bad. Usually less than when working butstill using power. Replace or remove when they appear not to work. “Jacking up” would be a bit of anexaggeration. The one I measured used about a watt. In a month (720 hours,24/7) it would have jacked up my energy cost by 7 cents. I have a photoelectricswitch that uses more energy than that. Mynote- LED equipments draw power though defective is a new information to me Q7 What exactly is jicama, and what doesit taste like? A7 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals13h Jicama is a kind of root vegetable like sweet potatoes, which is nativeto Latin America. Jicama is crispy, juicy, andlightly sweet like a firm pear.

Q8 Whyare house prices in America drastically cheaper than in England? A8 IanChamberlain Updated Dec 26 Britishhouses are built of bricks and mortar and not pieces of wood. Our roofs arecovered in tiles, usually slate or something very similar. Our plumbingsystems mean we don't have to heat our water up in a boiler anymore. We havethree pin plugs and an electrical system that is far safer than anywhere elsein the world. Our cavity walls are insulated. Our roofs are insulated so thereis miniscule heat loss. Our foundations are concrete and our plumbing systemsmean we don't have to rely on a cesspit to store our crap. We don't use bottledgas unless the house is so far out into the countryside it isn't viable. Our country is geographicallysmaller than America so it is possible our land prices are more expensive.Our houses are good and people live in homes that are hundreds of years oldwithout problems. Our newer homes have under floorheating,solar panels and some are that well insulated the bills are tiny. Wehave houses that have woodburners but these are genuinely old houses that a lotof Americans seem to try copying.I worked in the construction industry for manyyears and would be happy to buy a home knowing it is well built and will notneed maintenance for several hundred years. Thats quality. Q9 Whatfacts about Sri Lanka do foreigners not believe until they come to Sri Lanka? A9 ShyamakshiGhosh A techie by brains and a traveller by heart! Updated Sat SriLanka is very clean. The hygiene standards of common people is higher than othercountries I’ve been to including my home country India. Thereis a hand wash culture among the locals. The first thing you will notice on entering aresort or restaurant is a hand wash basin. The locals use it frequently. Infact at the entrance of a super store I found a wash basin. Those not washinghands were provided hand sanitizer. Onecan see no litter in public places and tourist places. Also in COVID times, I see locals puttingon their masks religiously. Our driver said that the fine in Colombo area is10000 LKR. But even in smaller towns and villages, people are wearing masks. Infact the foreign travellers are violating by not wearing masks but not thelocals. Also,the public awareness campaign of Sugar and its harmful impact is very strong.The local drinks have sugar level marked for common man to understand suchas Medium Sugar Level. The tea sugar sachets have warningssimilar to cigarette packets. Q10 Arethere any animals that have wings and have a tail?
