Common Questions About Air Conditioners

What is a portable air conditioner (PAC)?

A Portable Air Conditioner (PAC) is an Air Conditioner (AC) that is designed to cool a dedicated area, as opposed to an entire building (such as central air conditioners do). They are excellent for cooling a single room such as a living room, bedroom, office or even a studio apartment. Portable air conditioners sit nicely on wheels for ease of movement and portability. Honeywell Portable Air Conditioners come with an easy-to-install window kit and exhaust hose that can be quickly installed in your window or door (door may need extra door extension kit).

Where is the best place in my home for a portable air conditioner?

The best part about choosing a portable air conditioner is that they can be used nearly anywhere in your home. All you need is a power outlet and a nearby window to expel warm air in cooling mode (or cool air in heating mode) outside the house. Just follow the instructions to install the window kit and you will be ready in no time. Keep in mind that the adjustable temperature range for the cooling mode is between 61°F and 89°F (16°C and 32°C).

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 the 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.
