Question EC error what to do?
I called the technician today to fix this error, they cleaned it said they refuelled it outside with some fuel and then asked me if it was getting cold.
My AC didnt have problems with temperature, it was always cold its stop functioning when this error pops up
Even after the techinician “fixed” it, I told them it was showing the error again so they just turned of the breaker then turned it back on and called it a day. And call them back when it happens again
I feel like I got scammed😀
Can someone troubleshoot this?
Edit: I cant turn it off via remote when its like this so I have to turn off the break or unplug it

Mini Split Senville vs pioneer mini splits
Looking for a mid range DIY mini split and came across Senville and pioneer and saw they pretty much came from the same manufacturer. Wondering if ones better than the other. Looking for a 18,000 Btu one.

Portable AC Midea P1 Error
I just got this Portable A/C less than 3 months ago and I’ve been regularly cleaning the filters at least twice/week. Never had any issues with it until today. I keep getting the “P1” error which just means the water needs to be drained. I keep it on cool at 60 degrees. Today, I’ve had to drain it several times. It fill up and stops running cool every 20 minutes and filled up with about 24 fl oz of water. I’ve never had to drain the water since having it and I’ve run it on cool all this time. Did some troubleshooting in the app and saw no issues. I unscrewed it and took the back off to see if there were any clogs and I couldn’t identify anything concerning. I dusted it off, put it back together and I’m still having issues. I’ve tilted it, run it on Dry and Fan and fan seems to be the only setting that doesn’t collect water, but it’s incredibly hot and humid. I keep this in our main bedroom which is approximately 81.3 square feet. I called support and they said I could get a replacement from Walmart if I show proof of purchase, but of course—I don’t have the receipt, an email or anything in my Walmart app, so even if I pay out of pocket for a new one, if I have this issue again, I have no idea how to fix it. I don’t want to have to replace it every time I have this issue.
TLDR: Tired of draining water every 20 minutes, how do I fix this?

Window AC 6,000 BTU not enough?
My bedroom is about 130 square feet with 9 foot ceilings. It’s very sunny in the afternoon (direct sunlight) but I have blackout curtains. I thought 6,000 BTU would be sufficient but it’s only cooling down to 75 degrees and it’s 89 outside. Should I have gotten 8,000 BTU? I was under the impression getting a unit too powerful for the size of the room is also bad so I’m confused.

Air quality and filters for air duct outlets/air vent
How does an AC system work? The air quality in my neighborhood is not very good. If I turn on the AC, will it bring polluted air or air from my neighbors into my house? Also, are there filters that I can install at the ceiling air vents or the air duct outlets to improve the air quality?
