    What major companies allow you to idle while sleeping or pay for idle air? It must really suck to not be allowed either while trying to sleep in the hot or cold.

    Well far as I know they all let you idle (local and state laws may get you) but majority will say something to you and a few will harass you about it..

    Idle air has a list on there website

    The key word here is "Offering" not "Supplying". :biggrin_25522:

    I interpret "Offering" as in at a cost........ "Supplying" as providing it without charge.

    OK guys, call me stupid or whatever. I did not mean to ask what the statement meant as I meant to ask "What is IdeAire?" I can read that the company is offering whatever it is but I don't know what it is that they are offering. Yes, I did go do some research and found out later some illustrations, so now. Anybody ever used this and how do you like it? What does it cost? :biggrin_25511:

    I have used it before and I liked it. It costs around $1.50/hr, I believe, for the basic package that includes the basic TV package, internet, and of course the climate control.
