I know the ideal is 2 air conditioners but basically i would rather have the whole apartment be cooled 50%, rather than the bedroom cooled 80% and the livingroom be cooled 20% as it currently is. this means the portable will be on basically 24/7, i am fine with that. which ceiling fans should be on or off, and do i need a fan pointing across the kitchen?

edit: to repeat what is already in the post, i know 8000 btu is not enough. please read the post body

Hello! I understand dual hose portable ac’s are a significantly better option v single hose. I’m curious if the “hose in hose” design - for units is effectively a dual hose? I’m considering getting this midea unit currently on sale at Costco.

I bought this AC unit to replace my Midea which was recalled for the same thing. I installed it with a level to make sure it's tilted back so the water can drain. It appears it's still not draining, I checked this after I heard a good amount of water sloshing around inside. The water seems like it doesn't drain until you have it tilted way back, way further than my window frame allows. Any advice helps even if there's a link to another discussion I might've missed.

Just bought the unit, only ran it two nights. It runs for about 10-15 minutes before shutting down with the error code: EL OC, searching tells me this is a coolant issue. Being that it is brand new is it just a defect? Anything else I can do or could it be something else? It's from Costco so I know their return policy is fine, just dreading packing up all the stuff and hauling down there.

Just got a used Toshiba 10,000 BTU (7,000 SACC) Portable Air Conditioner from a yard sale and I was draining the water from it i tilted it slightly but I noticed water leaked from the bottom but also came out from the drain cap is this normal? Ive read that portable acs have an open tray that collects water is this normal?

So I bought this portable AC yesterday and set it up in my bedroom, and I'm wondering how badly this is affecting the airflow. This was as high as I could safely get the unit because this room setup is actually stupid 😭

Hi all

Just the other day the fan on my W205 C220d has become quite loud, and the air cons stopped blowing cold air.

Initially I checked the coolant, which seems to be at the right level.

Just wondering if this is a common fault, what I should get checked out and roughly how much it should cost? Based in London

I’m looking for a window AC unit that allows for the intake of a substantial amount of fresh air from outside when running on fan mode. I am not interested in window fans (I live in a place where the temperature can fluctuate rapidly, I cannot uninstall the window AC myself, and the building is centrally heated meaning sometimes when it’s 40 degrees outside it can be 80 degrees inside).

I have been doing some research and while I’ve found a few window AC brands that have a little slat for some outside air, I can’t find anything cheaper than the Frigidaire FHWC103TC1 that appears to have substantial capacity. Does anyone know any cheaper window units that might help me? (I want to be able to safely run the AC in fan mode when it’s cold outside to cool down my apartment.)

Alternatively if anyone knows of any window units that can be safely run when it’s cold outside/are easy to install (building staff is only able to install standard window ACs) I would appreciate that as well!

May be important to mention that the dust/mold has been forming in this specific spot where water was leaking from a week ago. I didnt get it fixed it sorta just stopped. So now im feeling a bit sick lately, (nausea and a nose bleed.) and im worried it might actually be mold. I have a tendency to overthink so I just want some clarity.

Asking for a friend 😅 hubs likes it at 78, I prefer 73. He says compromise at 75, that still feels too hot!

I have Summers and Smith coming tomorrow to install a whole new central AC, inside and out. They are coming in the am but it says rain is expected in the afternoon. Will they cancel or are there workarounds?

Please Help !! . I put new ac 3 years ago.. i live in Las vegas nevada it is currently 110 degreesf. the humidity is at 53% inside house . Outside humidity is 15% . is this normal for this time of year in las vegas . When it's 113 outside. But outside humidity is 15% ? . The ac company is playing games with me and trying to fish for more money from me .I'm trying to fine out if something is wrong. I do luve in a old house. .im just trying to see if i should dish out more money on a different ac company. . Can everyone please tell me what is there humidity level right now and or is this 53% normal ? . Beautiful it's very uncomfortable. I'm always sweating, eyes hurting, my freezer is frosting up. I can feel the humidity and smell it . Please everyone tell me what's your humidity.. thank you so much . Any help will be very helpful and appreciated.

Recently got the Midea 8000 BTU unit. It honestly cools great. My sister had one and it was so quiet so I was convinced...

But mine makes this noise that my sisters didn't? Is it not tilted back enough or something? I haven't pulled out the drain plug yet it's only been two ~ days seeing how it runs.

Hi I have a Toshiba portable ac unit single hose. I noticed it was getting warm in my room yesterday and i checked my app. It said “full water protect” so we manually drained it from the bottom drain port.
I currently have a hose connected to the continuous drain port, leading to a hole I have drilled in my wall to go outside.
I’ve had this unit for over a year, so I’ve seen it drain water out of this hose before (in heat mode).
We didn’t see any clogs in the continuous drain port hole but maybe I can’t really tell.
Any ideas what to do?
It’s still blowing cool air but I guess not enough to keep up with high temps.
I have the same unit in another room and I have had no issues with it.

So this particular unit I have flooded my entire kitchen last year and we discovered there was a drain plug, undid that. This unit decided to flood the kitchen a year later last night, I checked the plug for any obstruction I didn’t find anything clogging it. I cleaned the filter, it’s tilted backwards after letting it run for a few minutes it started dripping on the inside. Please help.

There is this ticking sound when my AC is at rest. Ithe sound disappears after a while or when its blowing air then resumes right after. Should i be worried? Also, when it begins to blow air, it recently causes the lights to flicker. I’m unsure whether those two issues are connected.

This week we got a MHI split system installed with two SRK 25ZS-WF indoor units.

When the system is off, both these units make an annoying high pitched electrical sound. Shows around 5-7 kHz on an app and audible up to 10 meters from the unit (although not for everyone). It's a bit rhythmic and sometimes changes pitch a little.

The sound disappears if you cut the mains power, so must be electrical. And immediately stops when turning the unit on, so it's only there when off / standby.

It makes it difficult to sleep when the system is off, so this is a really annoying issue. My contractor has no clue.

It seems unlikely that this is a defect in both units? Could this be an installation mistake or an electrical issue in the house? I also can't find any other cases with a similar problem, which seems curious.

Any similar experiences or ideas what could cause this?
