Air Conditioner Installation Types: Portable Air Conditioners
Posted on May 20, 2021 By Pat D - Director of TrainingIf you cannot install an Air Conditioner in your window or through a wall, then Portable Air Conditioners are a great solution. Portable air conditioners work just like all the other air conditioners. They cool your room. They dehumidify your room. And they also filter the air. Like any air conditioner, though, that hot, humid air must go somewhere. So portable air conditioners utilize a vent hose. This vent hose will extend up to 7 feet in length. The open end of to the vent hose is then attached directly to a window kit. This window kit is designed to sit right on your window sill. You would close your window down on top, trapping this in place. The open end of the vent hose simply attaches to the window kit, so all of that hot, humid air is exhausted outside your home. Portable windowless air conditioners are great as a supplemental air conditioning unit for central air conditioning. Everybody has that one room in their home where that central air conditioning is just not cool enough. This is a great solution. It's also a great solution if you're looking to air condition a basement, where the windows are so small and you cannot go through the wall. Portable, windowless air conditioners do a great job, and they're available from 8,000 BTU up to 14,000 BTU.
