A Quick Update

A quick update on the air conditioner insulation panels.  I received them in the mail this week and installed them yesterday.


Here is an actual picture of my air conditioner before the installation.


And after.  The material is gray in color and is a sturdy, dense foam that is quite substantial.  I decided to cut the panels to fit snugly inside the extension panels on either side of the unit.  I thought this made for a neater look.  I will tell you that I noticed a marked improvement immediately.  It has been cold here this weekend; some of the coldest temperatures we've had so far this year.  I could feel the cold air seeping in around the extension panels but when I installed this foam insulation, that all stopped.

I am very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend these to anyone who has a window air conditioning unit that you do not want to take out of the window each winter season and then have to reinstall again each summer.  If you are interested in purchasing these insulation panels, see my previous post for where they can be purchased and the price.

Now I'm off to make my first dish from Dana Moos new book, The Art of Breakfast (www.artofbreakfast.com/.)  Watch out for a post on that later today.  Stay warm everybody!
