good product

It works good so far. The Window bracket kit has to be improved. Part B of the kit has to be longer to fit the window. The hose shall be longer as well, so it reaches the window bracket kit without additional construction.

heat wave

Purchased right before a heat wave hit. It's kept us going and allowed one large room to remain comfortable with outdoor temps near 100. Super heavy though, I don't think I could move it alone.

What about ventilation?

Portable ACs use either a single hose or dual hose design. In cooling mode, single hose PACs remove hot air from the room, and then expel the hot air out the one hose. In cooling mode, dual hose PACs bring in air from outside through one hose, and expels warm air outside through the second hose. In both cases cold air in cooling mode flows through the unit's vents into the room.

Are there certain types of windows that are not suitable for PACs?

Casement windows are quite unique in design and functionality so PACs do not have window kits that can completely cover the gap for these types of specialty windows.

Can I leave the window screen in during installation?

The screen may not interfere with installation, but for better releasing of hot air out the window, it is better to remove the screen.

How do I know how many BTUs are required to cool my space?

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a standard unit of energy that measures the amount of heat per hour an air conditioner removes from a room. The larger the room, the higher the BTU requirement. Below, are some general guidelines. However other factors – such as the number of open doorways, a south-facing window with continuous sunlight, or a room with high occupancy – can require a unit with a higher BTU rating than the average guidelines.

350 8,000
450 10,000
550 12,000
700 14,000
