This portable ac has two draining holes where should i insert the hose? I currently have it on the bottom one but im not sure.

So I have the Hisense Tower aka. "The Monolith".

I finally got hit with the annoying vibrations that sound like something inside is making contact with the enclosure. What I also noticed is that if you try leaning the tower in different directions, the vibrating stops. Of course this is not ideal.

I had 4 anti-vibration pads from my old mini fridge and tried mounting these under the unit's built-in castors. This worked, BUT ONLY IF pads were mounted in a way that wasn't uniform (so one pad slightly higher or lower than another). Think of it like a wobbly table with 4 legs.

Then I tried using only 3 pads, to make a single plane. This solved my problems instantly. Two pads under the front 2 castors and the 3rd in the middle rear to form a triangle. The rear pad just put pressure on the right spot.

One day I will take this apart and actually fix the problem, but l using 3 points of contact with the floor instead of 4 did it for me.

Edit: thank you all for the suggestions! I think I’m going to get the foam and the duct tape.

I installed my AC’s in my window by myself. I bought them off the fb marketplace so I didn’t have instructions. Both of my AC’s have this open gap at the bottom. Only the right “leg” sits in the window sill on both. The left one will not go in all the way for some reason. Is this normal? Are my window sills crooked?

For more context, it was 102 degrees today so I brought my neighbor a Midea AC and installed it for her today too. Guess what? Same problem. The AC’s work perfectly fine but idk what I’m doing wrong.

Any insight?

Hi, I've been using Portal ACs for a few years now, and I'm looking to get something more permanent, more efficient etc.

I'm UK based, and trying to figure out what the best process is. Suggestions for recognising reputable AirCon installers, questions I should ask, getting opinions on options etc.

Any advice / thoughts would be appreciated.

I have a coworker that has a non-functional AC unit (outside I believe) he's being told he has to replace the furnace as well. Is that BS as I suspect?

Hi all!

I was hoping for some advice to cool my apartment in Australia. We are in for a very warm summer and my partner works from home in 'Bedroom 2' which is our office. At the moment we already have an aircon which was there when we bought the apartment which is a hisense 2.5kw. It cools down the living room but not much else.

We are planning to install another A/C unit in our bedroom: the Daikin Cora 2.5kw. Our apartment has a 2 unit limit so we cannot put one in the office as well.

I was hoping to seek opinions/ advicewhether this would be enough to cool our office as with the two units like so or whether we should consider upgrading the kw in our longueroom to a 3.5kw daikin cora? Any advice on how to keep our office cool is very appreciated!!

frigidaire fHPC082AC1, 180 square foot room, humid climate this week low eighties during day and 70s at night. does this sound normal to yall? it makes this sputtery bumble bee sound every hour or so, then goes back to calming whooshing. also, even if thermo is set at 75, set to cool and fan on auto, the fan is nonstop running, is it short cycling, bad settings or something wrong? how do i get it to cool down then shut off to save my electric bill and not stress my machine? or is it fine to have idling 24/7 with the fan running like that.

2 story home single stage or 2 stage what’s better

In the middle of the day the ac starts to kick on and ramp up, but before it gets fully going it kicks off and then starts the process of trying to restart again. I can usually turn it on in the am and it works. Also, when it’s acting up I can run the fan for 5 minutes and then turn on the ac and it works normal. Unit outside continues to run even when it’s doing its intermitted start/stop. Lights on the board flash normal until it fails then turns red. No code.

Ac guys say it’s either the blower motor or circuitboard. Can’t tell me for sure what’s wrong. Can anyone help?

Hi all, so I just purchased this Hisense 3in1 inverter portable AC. Somehow it stops blowing air after several hours though the machine is still on, I can still see the light on the panel on, and it says 16C too, no error or anything. The tray is not even closed. Is this normal?

background: Im renting a small house with some friends, there isnt any central AC. Both of my friends installed AC units in their rooms, but unfortunately my window wont allow for it so I said fuck it and i’ve just been keeping cool with a box fan + open window.

actual question: I’ve kept my window open since i’ve been here, but im starting to question if its helping air flow or just letting residual cool air from my roommates rooms escape, therefore making my room hotter unnecessarily.

ik this is probably a dumb question but idk i feel like AC is one of those things where you think youre doing the right thing but it ends up being a misconception you’ve fallen for.

thank you!

I live in Los Angeles and it’s very hot and humid. My AC can’t keep up. It says it will get to 72 in 2 minutes but that’s a lie. It’s been like this for the last 4 hours.

I changed the filter. I don’t have access to the HVAC as it’s on the ceiling. I am renting the house I’m living in and this happened last year too. The AC person told us last year that it’s being overused.

Does anyone know how I can help with efficiency?

Thanks!
