Frequently asked questions
-
What is required to set up portable air conditioner?
Since all portable ACs remove warm air and moisture as they cool, the air has to be exhausted to another location--generally outside through an included window kit. Window kits have a window slider and exhaust hose(s), which can easily be set up to exhaust warm air outside. Select models can also be vented into a drop ceiling or through a wall. Once you set up the exhaust hose and window kit, you can simply plug in your AC and start cooling!
-
What size of portable air conditioner do I need?
Similar to other types of room air conditioners, portable ACs measure their power in BTUs. The more BTUs of cooling power a PAC has, the more room it can cool. For a room of up to 30m2, small air conditioners with between 7,000 BTUs and 10,000 BTUs will suffice.
-
What electrical requirements do portable air conditioners have?
Most PACs use typical household 115/120 Volt power and require no special wiring or outlets. Of course, as air conditioners can draw a significant amount of energy, you must use caution not to overload a circuit with multiple high-energy-consumption devices.
