How to Vent a Portable Air Conditioner

Most portable air conditioning systems come with a window kit to be used for venting. This kit generally consists of a window bracket, which is a piece of foam or resilient plastic that fits into an open window, a vent hose adapter for the bracket, and a couple of vent hoses. The typical vent hose is 4 to 5 feet long, so you have to position your portable AC relatively near a window.

Here are the steps you need to take to properly vent your portable unit:

When venting a portable ac unit, connect the vent hose to the portable A/C. If needed, cut the window bracket to fit your window comfortably. You may also require to cut a hole in the bracket for the hose, however a lot of brackets will include pre-cut holes.

Next, link the vent hose to the adapter, and close the window snugly. It's that easy! If they will certainly have to eliminate their window screen in order to install a portable air conditioner, consumers typically want to understand. While it depends on the kind of window and screen, many of our customers find that they do not need to eliminate the screen due to the fact that the exhaust hoses do not extend beyond the window.
