  Of course not, it’s generated by the sun and not cocaine.

  I bought a window AC unit off of Facebook marketplace last summer.

  I’m in an old house. All outlets are two prong so I use adapters.

  So multiple times the AC flipped the breaker.

  It did it a few times last summer but this summer it was happening multiple times a day. So after it fried a bar drive in my PC from a power surge (yes I had a power surge protector on but hardrives are more sensitive)… Anywho I bought a heavy duty extension cord and ran the AC to the spare bedroom that’s on a separate breaker switch.

  I assumed incorrectly , it was the old outlet being a little “loose” and literally everything in the living room including a 3d printer and PC being on the same breaker as the problem.

  It was not.

  AC ran okay for like a week. No more breakers flipped. Then one day power for it stops. I assume breaker but I check. It’s fine. I check outlet. It’s fine and works.

  That’s when I going the new heavy duty extension cord was melted to the plug on the AC.

  Yeah. Melted. It won’t come off. I tried prying it off with a flathead. Cause the extension cord was like $35.

  Cause it’s heavy duty. And 30 ft.

  Anyway. I guess there was something wrong with the AC.

  Why am I telling this story. Because I was sure the AC itself was fine. I mean it ran okay.

  I still have no idea what’s wrong with it but I’m going to write in black sharpie all over it that it’s bad and “danger don’t use ⚡ ⚡ ⚡”

  so. When I have it hauled off to the dump , no one tries to use it.

  Assuming they can get the extension cord off of it.

  I had a stand up portable AC in using now. Window units are more efficient but I can’t buy another and I just blocked off the kitchen and it works ok. Glad I had a backup option.

  I Got another extension cord. $$

  Still don’t want to chance another power surge to my PC.

  Has anyone ever had a bad AC that causes power problems like this ?

  It was a 12,000 BTU or something like that.

  Idk what the issue is. Never had this happen.

  Glad the cord melted and power flow stopped instead of a fire.
