The next thing you need to bear in mind is making sure that the hose remains as straight as possible as bends can trap heat, causing your air conditioning unit to lose efficiency. Most hoses can be shorted to prevent the need to be bent to fit the desired location.

Need to be permanently mounted on an outside wall by a certified professional, so involves structural work to your home.

In the box, the EX100, AN112 Silent and AN97 Real Feel contain two window kits: one will suit sash windows, the other will suit double casement windows. For most cases where you can’t vent outside, a fan will be a much more efficient way to spread heat around inside a building and keep people comfortable. See our review of the best tower fans here. Before you get a portable unit, there are some more sustainable options to cool your home that you can try beforehand, such as using an electric fan or closing curtains.

A lot of air conditioners come with a kit to create a seal to expel hot air from. This is important as it created a closed environment which the AC can control to maximise its efficiency. The negative pressure created from taking in hot air encourages the suction of unconditioned air so sealing off the room being cooled prevents this air from entering. Simply hanging the hose through a gap to the outside will mean that your AC will struggle to cool down your room.

The two most common problems with portable air conditioner vents are kinked hoses and leaking window seals. Then this needs to be installed and sealed. Using clamps, secure it in the frame and close the edges with silicone caulk. Now you’ve created a closed environment, you can attach your hose and use your portable AC. Ventilation Through A Wall

Turning on for the first time. Once your Pinguino is out of the box and in its new home, please wait at least one hour before turning the air conditioner on for the first time. This is because every portable air conditioner contains a refrigerant, which can be disturbed during movement and needs to settle. Rooms with drop ceilings have the option of venting through these, as there is a large amount of space between the drop ceiling and the real ceiling, this can be filled with the hot air your unit is expelling from the room. A specialised ceiling venting kit will extend your ventilation hose so it can reach a vent on the ceiling and usually only require the installation of a vent in a single ceiling panel or will have a ready-made replacement panel with a vent.Keep an eye out for any refrigerant leaks If yours is blowing out warm air or is noisier than usual, this could indicate that it has a refrigerant leak.

Dryer vents are common finds in homes and share the same dimensions as vents for AC hoses. This means that they are compatible and can be used as an outlet to ventilate your unit. Important Things To Consider Before You Choose Multiply the dimensions (in feet) of the room by five. So for a room measuring 15ft x 10ft x 8ft, you would calculate 15 x 10 x 8 x 5 = an air conditioner of 6,000 BTUs. This is the most popular way to use a portable air conditioner. You simply attach the hose and use a window kit to vent the warm air. When the weather cools or you want to move the air conditioner to another room, you simply remove the window kit and wheel the air conditioner away. Around two million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste are generated every year, so it’s important to dispose of your portable air conditioner correctly and in a way that isn’t harmful to the environment.

The ChillFlex Air conditioners need to be vented outside. When used in the cooling mode they will push warm air out of the exhaust, and in the heating mode it will be pushing out cold air.
