What about http://www.idleaire.com/?

I have been looking at this for months now. It beats idling all night, saves fuel and my hearing, offers a few bennies to go along with it all.

All for the low low price of $1.85/hr.

Opinions?

Sounds like a good idea when it's available. Of course all the options are to try to get you to spend more but that's up to you....they only provide the temptation.

It has to be better than running that big ole diesel all night. What other costs to you over the hourly rate?

That's the only cost to me. The diesel can cost over $2.50/hr to idle depending on the cost of fuel. And if I get my idle hours down far enough (Big Brother keeps track) I can get a fuel and idle hour bonus of up to $50/month

That will pay for the Idleaire time right there. I have to pay for phone calls and internet usage of course but if all I want is cool/warm air, I'm all set. I decided to give it a try and bought the window adaptor (mandatory) for $10 and put $30 prepaid on my account. I can add to it when I activate the umbilical with no charges for that internet transaction.

Surprisingly comprehensive quotes site.

I was trying to track down a news article related to a local murder tonight, and found this site. It has some obscure stuff ... quotes from one of the most sleazy lawyers in my county. Pretty amazing, really.
