Manufacturers should follow the example of SunFrost refrigerators and freezers - super efficient compressors and the fan mounted on top. The interior runs cooler, the compressors and fan are easier to keep clean and do not collect floor level dust and hair.
Thanks for the tip. I am unfamilair with that brand but that sounds so much smarter. Google here I come!
I was afraid of that....man oh man are they expensive! Everything smart is expensive damnit. To replace the size I have is around $ 3000. Real nice stuff though. But I was glad to see they have my Power Star tankless hot water heater. That really saves me some money. It cuts about $40 a month off my electric bill and I got back all that space too. I highly highly recommend it. Only drawback is it requires 4 poles in your ac electrical box. Thats 2 220 volt breakers. But they work great. So much better than earlier unsmart tankless heaters of yore.
