The window component a/c in my living room is legitimately old, not only does the window component AC make a lot of noise and only labor when it wants to, however the back of the component is completely rusted! Living close to the ocean, this is likely to happen.
Some people say that the salt water corrodes their car engines faster than normal.
For me, I am not that worried about my things as long as I am able to live by the water I am, however, worried about my kids that run around on the back porch so close to the rusted window component ac.I am always telling them to be careful and to make sure they do not run into the rusted window component a/c. If the window component air conditioning system hurts the kids, I would be so upset. The kids are pretty good about staying far away from the window component AC, and one evening, I got so anxious that I told my hubby that my pal and I were going to have to build some kind of barrier around the outside of the window component AC. The barrier I had in mind would be something along the lines of a fence of some sort. I suppose that it would be a nice touch to the back yard, my hubby thinks that it would interfere with the functioning of the window component AC. I asked my landlord if she would be willing to upgrade the window component air conditioning system as a safety precaution.
