Can a portable air conditioning unit be vented into a loft space? Hi I am wondering if someone can help me with this question re. portable Air conditioning units. What I am talking about here is a small portable unit, the type which sits in your room, but you have a hose ( similar to a tumble dryer hose) which comes out of the back of it. It requires to be vented outside the room ( obviously) and normally I just stick the hose out of our bedroom window. We live in the UK and only really need to have the a/c unit running for 3 or 4 hours at a time, and never more than on 21 days of the year. I was thinking about whether it would be OK to route this hose into our loft space, which would be much more convenient for us. The loft is well ventilated- there are vents which go out under the eaves. I believe all that comes out of this hose is hot, dry air.( the condensed water is collected in the a/c unit). Has anyone had experience of doing this, or can comment on this idea? - I'd be interested in any advice. Thanks in advance

Portable air condition is making room MORE humid.? So I picked up a portable air conditioner the other day. Its the Sharp CV-NH13 if that matters. The thing is, it's making the room very very humid. The air gets cold in the room, no problem there, but it's got to be 5 times more humid in that room than the unconditioned rooms in the rest of the house. It's not even humid outrside, just in this room. It has a built in dehumidifier but, according to the manual, does not cool if that mode is selected. Any idea why it's doing this?

Central Air Conditioning Or Portable Air Conditioning Units? I have a 4 bedroom home with 3 rooms are used. At any given time there are two people home for a few hours and maybe one person home all day. At night we all are home and one room is empty by 6am everyday. For the most part when we are home we are asleep so its not like there's a lot going on in the house anyway. The central air is running constantly causing a insanity high electric bill. The portable units will be shut off while not at home so they wont be running all day like the central. I was wondering would it be cheaper to have portable ac units in each of the 3 rooms instead of running the central? I've thought about using window units but i dont think its allowed in my neighborhood plus i think it would make the house look kind of tacky.

Portable Air Conditioners - Do they really work? We have a really small apartment (900 sq ft) and it faces south/west (maximum sun exposure). The building does not have air conditioning and the windows are not desigend to support standard window mounted air conditioners. We are nervous to buy a portable air conditioner.

can a portable air conditioner actually take the place of central air conditioning? My electric bill is straight out of a horror movie whenever I use my central air conditioner. I have been thinking about investing in a portable air conditioner (not a window unit) because they don't use as much electricity. But I'm worried that it won't be enough and my apartment will still be hot. I realize that they are made to cool off just a single room but if its on in one room, would it cool things off enough to make the other rooms at least bearable to be in. My apartment is fairly small. Its a 2 bedroom that is just a little over 900 sq ft.

Swamp Cooler vs. Air Conditioning? Hello. Can someone please give me some information/experiences on Swamp Coolers (evaporative coolers)?? Pros and Cons? I live in San Diego California and it is HOT. It seems like air conditioning is really pricey right now and a portable air conditioning unit runs up the electric bill. Would a swamp cooler be better for us here and do the job? Our home is about 2400 sq ft but we'd only need about 1800 cooled. I remember my Grandparents had a swamp cooler and it worked GREAT. But that's all I can remember about it and they lived in Northern Cal.... And if someone knows a company down here I could call that would be great. I can only seem to find portable swamp cooler providers online and people who do A/C Thank you!

Venting portable air conditioner through hinged window? Thinking of getting a portable air conditioning unit, which uses a hose to expel the hot air through an open window. I see that the fitting kits are all design assuming you have a sliding window, which would allow the window to remain sealed. However, I'm sure it must be a common problem, but how do people deal with a hinged window? The best way I can think of so far is to cut a sheet of perspex to match the size of the open window, then cut an appropriate hole through which to feed the hose. It seems this would be quite tricky in practice, as some way of securing it to the window frame is needed, and I can't really go drilling into the frame as it's a rented property. So I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a clever solution yet, or are there any kits that can be bought? Thanks

At what temperature should the air be coming out of a 13000 BTU portable AC? The air is currently coming out between 45 - 50 degrees F. However on my 8000 BTU window unit, the air is coming out at about 40 degrees F. (Measured both with similar weather conditions). Is the air on the portable unit warmer because they aren't as capable as window units? Its hard to believe that an 8000 BTU should out perform a 13000 BTU AC, regardless of design... or am I wrong?

Do I have to disconnect the portable air conditioners from the window when it rains? Or when not in use? We have always had either central air, the old window air conditioners, or no air conditioning. This is the first time we've had portable air conditioners. So, maybe someone who also has a portable air conditioner, or knows someone with one, could help me with this... We have two actually, one from Sharp, the other from Royal Sovereign, both (especially the Sharp) are a pain to remove (to disconnect the hot air tube from the window) The Sharp has a "bug guard" screen I guess, but because bars on the windows, we couldn't install the Sharp "rain guards" The Royal Sovereign has none of these features. Would bugs getting in the tube or rainwater be a problem? How to fix such problem if occurred? Or should I just keep connecting and disconnecting? (The Sharp connection is just so darn flimsy tho, It feels like if I do this too often it might not last or break) Any suggestions?

Can you mount an air conditioner and still be able to open the window? Don't want portable-too expensive/messy I want to install a regular window air conditioner in my window. I want to be able to open it on the days when it is not too hot so I can get some addition fresh air in the room. I have only two windows in the bedroom, and when it gets really hot, I need the A/C. Portables don't seem to be the answer and they are expensive for what I need it for - only occasional air conditioning. I saw an a/c once a long time ago with some type of bar that was put in the window that the a/c was attached to and you could open the window, but my super never heard of this. Any ideas? Thanks

PLEASE HELP!! I am interested in getting a portable air conditioner, I have no central air ....? Has anyone ever had one? How loud are they?

Considering purchasing a portable air conditioner? The one I am looking at is a Heir floor model that requires you to run a hose to a window to vent the unit. I have central air conditioning with floor vents, but I am hoping to find a unit where I can cool just the room I am in, instead of the whole house. My question is, could I run the hose into one of the floor registers of my central AC for venting, or would this be creating some kind of chemical build up or anything? My windows are not situated where running the hose to a window would work. Thank you in advance The idea is to run this unit instead of the main AC-I am worried it might create a mold issue though, from the moisture?

Can I cover a wall heater to keep air conditioning from escaping? In the upstairs room, it is an add on, and there is a wall heater unit. On the other side of that wall is the attic, since it's an add on basically in the attic. There is a portable air conditioner unit up there to try to keep it cool, but it is still so hot and I just discovered that the hot air from the attic is coming in from the wall heater that is there. It looks like it's open to the attic on the other side of the wall, so it is basically acting like a vent. The cold air is not able to circulate and cool the room because the hot air keeps pouring in from there. So I was wondering if I can get something to plug or block the heater, like a lid or something. Anyone famililar with gas heaters?

Is there anyway to create a windowless air ventilator in an alleyway room of a tenement building? Alright, I live in a tenement building and my room is coincidentally by an alleyway. Since this place is so old, the window here is damaged. I cannot move the top window slide and the bottom is sealed due to a portable air condition setup.
