FAQ About Portable Air Conditioner

Q:Can I add or install additional exhaust hoses to my unit?

A:No, the units are designed with the hoses included. If you add additional hoses the compressor will shut down from backpressure, and cause the output air to be warm. This will diminish the efficiency of the unit. Changing the length of the exhaust hose may also void your warranty and even cause your unit to overheat.

Q:Can I install my portable air conditioner in an tight, enclosed area such as a cabinet?

A:No, there must be ample space to allow airflow around the unit and air intake. The unit may overheat.

Q:Can I install the unit without an exhaust hose?

A:No, the unit will just recycle hot air back into the room and in the case of the unit with heat function cold air would be recycled back into the room.

Q:Can I remove the styrofoam packing material inside my unit?

A:No, do not remove. This is not packing material but the internal fan housing; since the units are compact and made to be portable, this part was designed with a high grade Styrofoam to make the unit as light as possible for easy mobility.

Q:Can I setup the unit for continuous drainage?

A:Yes, some of our models do come with a drain tube which can be installed over the drain after removing the cap and plug. The drain tube would then need to be on a downward pitch and draining to the outside or into an ample drainage system. Keep in mind that the units may run a bit hot, but that will not affect the unit. Also continuous draining bypasses (disables) the internal water full safety mechanism.
