Cooper & Hunter Portable AC Units
What is the average life of a portable air conditioner?
Typically, portable air conditioners have an average life of 5-10 years. Always check the product description to see if your product includes a warranty.
Do portable air conditioners stop working?
Like any other appliance, a portable air conditioner might stop working. This can be for a variety of reasons, including lack of airflow, frozen coils, or an overheated compressor.
Portable air conditioners can seem like they aren’t working if they’re not venting properly. If they vent properly, they release the heat from the room outside, making the room feel cooler. But if they do not vent properly, then that heat can return back into the room. This can make it feel like the portable AC isn’t working.
Additionally, if the air outlet or intake is blocked, it can stop the AC from working as well as it should. Make sure to keep the portable air conditioner away from furniture and other objects that might block the intake or outlet.
Lastly, your unit may just be too old. If that’s the case, replace the unit.
Do all portable air conditioners have to be vented out a window?
Technically, no. You don’t have to vent a portable air conditioner out a window. However, you should make sure to vent the air out of the room you plan to cool. If not, the hot air stays in the room and the temperature doesn’t change, meaning you’re just wasting energy by running the unit.
If you can’t vent it out of a unit, try venting it through a door.
Why choose Cooper & Hunter portable air conditioners?
Cooper and Hunter portable air conditioners include an inverter, 2-in-1 hose portable option and a dual hose portable air conditioner. Both units can cool, heat, and dehumidify all in one unit. This means they both work well for temporary or supplemental heating, cooling, and dehumidification.
The 2-in-1 hose option has a hose-in-hose exhaust system. They’re similar to a dual-hose design but, instead of using two separate hoses, they only use one for both air intake and exhaust. This makes installing them easier since you don’t need two hoses.
Their dual-hose option offers quicker and more efficiently than single-hose units. The dual-hose design means it can use one for air intake and the other for exhaust. This means that the unit can bring in fresh air from outside, meaning it doesn’t create negative pressure in the room.
