roof a/c blower speed too high

Uncrated · 06-24-2007, 04:47 PM

Well, it's tech question so give me some slack. [grin]

My roof a/c unit has two blower speeds, hurricane speed and straight line wind! [grin] Seriously, on low the blower is too fast and too noisy. Is there a reasonable way to add a speed controller? Especially when sleeping is would be nice to dial down the air speed.

The unit says ?RV Products, a division of Airxcel Inc.?

If you find an answer to this issue please post it. We have dealt with the same problem. We ended up putting a curtain up to deflect the wind.

Tag,

a curtain has been my method so far.

Today I bought a speed controller from Grainger and will post my results.

Someone said it is designed that way so it won't freeze up with the thermo on max cold. I understand that concept but think it's simply a matter of dialing the thermo to prevent frezzing at a lower blower setting.
