Airkrafters erPODs: Step-by-Step Installation, Testing and Review

[@cpono]

Good job. I just did an upgrade to a different method, but I like these.

[@RamblinHamblins]

Which ones did you go with? We looked at a few other options too.

[@dougnewton]

I wish I would’ve seen yours first! I just installed four of these things without the gaskets lol

[@RamblinHamblins]

HAHA, yeah I saw that on FB. Sorry to hear that, but glad you got it sorted out. Our gaskets were at the bottom of the bag when we got ours at the International Rally.

We did 4 to start in June and quickly did 4 more. Funny that everyone has the same feeling about the bathroom vent, that room is already too cold. They were a total game changer for air (specifically in Florida in the summer, but that was our bad judgement).

[@RamblinHamblins]

We tossed around the idea of doing 2 or doing 4 … but had friends talk us into 8 by saying we’d just do them eventually. We’ve had some hot temps and managed fine so far but figure we can manage a whole lot better with these.

and thanks for the heads up about using 2 screws to get things started. It worked great!

Thank you showing us this upgrade. We have been looking at these too, and haven't made the leap. Good to see how they need to be installed. Very clear instructions. Does that interfere with your upper cupboard doors opening? Good to know that you are happy with the product and they work well! - Jim & Michelle

Glad it was helpful! And no. No issues with cabinet clearance or my head. We’ve cooked and done dishes with no issues.

@@RamblinHamblins Good to know, thanks Bill!

I installed them a few months ago but mine have knobs on them to adjust the amount of air you get from each one but mine didn’t come with the gaskets yours did. Have they recently changed?

[@RamblinHamblins]

We probably would have ordered the ones with dampers, but they only had the version without the damper/knobs available at the rally, and we’ve never closed off our stock vents … so we went without. The newer ones are coming with gaskets and it looked like they were giving gaskets away to people who had earlier versions without them. It may be worth reaching out to them to see if they are doing that and what benefit you would see by adding gaskets to already installed erPods.
