What to Consider Before Installing an Air Conditioner?

Before settling on an air conditioner, you’ll need to take several things into consideration. Luckily, you won’t have to do it all on your own. Hotpoint Air Conditioning can help you with your air conditioning installation from the very beginning, so you can be confident that your new AC fits your home and your budget.

How are they installed?

It's necessary to vent portable ac because they extract hot air. If you want your air conditioning system to cool the room effectively, you need to let the hot air vent to the outside. When you purchase a portable ac, the venting kit will almost always be included. Portable air conditioners can also be vented through a window, wall, ceiling or even a door.

What size air conditioner (BTU level) do I need?

Similar to other types of room ac, portable ACs measure their power in BTUs. The more BTUs of cooling power a PAC has, the more room it can cool. Use the following guidelines to determine the portable air conditioner capacity that your space requires. These calculations assume that you have standard 8-foot ceilings: 7,500 BTUs will cover 150 sq. ft. x 8-ft. ceiling = 1,200 cubic feet 9,000 BTUs will cover 200 sq. ft.

I have a casement/crank-out window. Can I configure my PAC to exhaust air out of this type of window?

Unfortunately, there are no portable air conditioner units with a window kit that will fit a casement window. Some customers have creatively fashioned a solution using Plexiglas to cover their entire window area. Then, they cut a small hole into the Plexiglas for the hot air exhaust hose.

Air Duct cleaning! A service mostly ignored and why it's necessary?

According to the American Lung Association, "Indoor Air Pollution is wide spread. You are more likely to get sick from pollution in your home and office than from pollution in the air outside." Your home's air is 5 to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Allergies and sinus conditions are commonly caused by mold in the ductwork, bacteria, viruses, fungi and dust mites in your home's air.
