Venting Portable AC unit through wall to outside 

I have considered that! Thanks!

Make sure that you are aware that most systems now are the two hose systems…and this specific method will not work unless you cut an opening in your wall and outside..more than twice the size of this solution.

Glad it helped

Now that I've got the AC installed its tripping my breaker in my bedroom!

That's my problem. 😢 But mine is going out of the window. I tried 2 diff rooms. Same issues. It blows into my kitchen! 😂 😢 I'm like, how TF?! 😂

Quanna Watson ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivFMpdooLXE.html I think this dude did it brilliantly and with the option to remove very easily

It is pushed in pretty flush against the wall. Should be good.

Portable acs vent hot air. The condensation is stored in the tank you manually empty. I got one bc my window unit eventually grew mold due to high humidity and my room getting direct sunlight (corner room).

😳😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hope mine doesn't. But I'm in FL. So if the outside air is cooler than the inside and I'm running it thru the window. 🪟 That does seem possible. 😢

Thanks! When I made this, there was nothing else out there that matched my problem so I figured I'd film my process in case anyone else was stuck too!

Glad you liked it!

get a dual hose portable AC . With single hose the air you are venting is the air you are cooling .dual hose vents air it used from the outside to cool the AC unit and recirculates the cool air back into the room

@@ernestdenney2223 thanks!

No, I just left things as is.

That is a great question. I think the honest answer is that I didn't even think of that! Lol. But also, we just got new stucco put on and I'm doing my best to keep any moisture away from the walls. I suppose it could be done though!

Sorry, I missed your comment! That's why I hired a licensed handyman to do that part for me.

That really varies on the level of humidity in your room it's being used, which also depends on where you live and how often you run it. Mine has a light that comes on when it's time to drain it.

you don't have to drain the ac.the water is going out with the outside hose when its running.the water is also cooling the condensor so you get a better performance of the ac.In case of a verry high humudity it can happend that you must drain the ac.

yup, wrap this around the hose and you will have zero heat from the hose www.amazon.com/Reflectix-DW1202504-Spiral-Duct-Wrap/dp/B000BQMV0A/ref=sr_1_3?crid=H7JG3828YN1H&keywords=thin+silver+insulation&qid=1652370663&sprefix=thin+silver+insulation%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-3

I couldn't honestly tell you. I don't think its going to make a huge difference because the sound is from the unit itself, not the hose. Its is not super nosey. I installed this in my treatment room and I just make sure and turn it on high about an hour before I have a client and then put it on low during our session. It's not disruptive. High is louder though.

@@aleasah ok. Thank you for the information.

@@monchlopez no problem!

Yes it does cool it down and No I don't have a thermostat. I have a ceiling fan which really helps since my room has high ceilings.

@@aleasah Not thermostat, thermometer, like to check temperature lol.... Im struggling to find a wall mount in the UK, nightmare

Oh yes, gotcha. That's what I meant. Sorry! No, I don't have that. You could always just get a regular one for outdoors at your hardware store and use that if you wanted I suppose. Best of luck!

You are right. In Europe these are usually wall-units placed near the ceiling.

what?

You are wrong. This is not how portable ac works.

No, portable AC is not near the ceiling in a room. You are thinking of mini split systems that are popular outside of the US. They are way more efficient than these, but they aren't portable and are alot more expensive.

I live in Southern California so it stays in year round so far. But I have a round metal cap for the duct that I keep in case I want to move it to storage and use a space heater instead. If it gets very cold where you are, you could just add some insulation to that cap before putting it on.

You can see the top at about 27 seconds in on the counter next to the white salt lamp. 👍

I'm think the house is 5.9" and the hole is 6" the 5.9" hose screws inside the 6" pipe.

I am not good with tools so I paid $40 for a licensed handy man to cut the hole from inside as well as the stucco outside. I'm not sure what he used to be honest. I'm sorry! Might have been a keyhole saw.

@@aleasah Most likely a 6" hole saw.

I'm not sure what you are referring to with this comment. The entire point of the video was to show how it was vented to the outside. There is exactly zero hot air that comes inside.

@@aleasah With a one hose portable a/c unit the air from your room, the same air that the unit just cooled down is sucked in across the condenser and is blown out through the hose. You are literally sucking air that you paid to cool and blowing outside. A 2 house unit cools the condenser with outside air. Not air from the room.

Watch this video. It explains the process pretty well.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_-mBeYC2KGc.html

@@briennewton6881 Thanks for that link, excellent video about air conditioners

@@briennewton6881 Exactly. These portable units are also super inefficient for cooling. A small split unit doesn't cost that much more.

Hi! I am not sure what you are referring to. I didn't do an update video. Not much to report. Works great but I barely use it.

Yes, you are correct. I hired a licensed handyman/contractor to cut through the walls of our home so I didn't do anything stupid to damage it myself. He had never installed an AC unit in this way and was following my instructions. I asked him to make sure everything in my plan made sense and would work ok and he agreed. I would never recommend to anyone to cut a hole in the walls of their home on their own. You could hit electrical, pipes etc. Sorry, he does not have a RU-vid channel or video explaining this. He's in his late 70's/early 80's. Best of luck to you.

Hi Theresa! I don't have a link, my licensed handyman purchased it from Amazon. It is just a fairly standard dryer vent for outside. He couldn't get it from Lowes or Home Depot because they don't carry 6" ones. This AC unit has a 6" hose. If yours is a 4 or 5", you can find something similar in the store. Otherwise, Amazon to the rescue! It was much easier for me to hire someone to cut out the hole in the wall for me since I dont have the tools or skills for that. Then I handled the rest as the video shows! Good luck to you and hope your project works out for you and you stay cool!

I decided to get the one you have so I can follow your tutorial verbatim. I found it. Here is the link for anyone else that may find your video. www.amazon.com/Deflecto-Supurr-Vent-Louvered-HS4W-18/dp/B00R1X7S5Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1537483407&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=dryer+vent+cover+outdoor+6+inch&psc=1

Awesome! Only, just be aware that the link you sent is for a 4" hose. And I'm not sure it has the bird grate on it under the flaps. My handyman told me he spent about $18 on mine so I think I found it here for you. But it is the 6" hose with the bird grate, that keeps the critters out. Just make sure you get the same diameter size as your hose! Here is the link I found: 6"Deflecto Vent Cover With BIRD GUARD www.amazon.com/dp/B0001IMLO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OAcPBb9S6XF47

I saw that smh sorry about that! Ordering the link you provided. Thank you!!!
