Some models have wheels so that it is easier to move it from room to room, and others are so small that they can sit on your desk and be used to cool your PC when it starts to overheat in the summer months. Now that your Plexiglass is installed and weatherproofed, all that’s left is to attach the exhaust hose to your Plexiglass and enjoy the cool air. Additionally, it tends to be shatter-resistant which really helps to improve its reliability both during installation and in everyday use. Open the casement window and firmly attach a latch to the window as well as the frame to prevent it from blowing too far open while the PAC is running. We manufacturer this product in the UK and can help with bespoke designs should they be required beyond this kits capabilities.

So, strap in and let’s go on this wild ride together as we learn how to install portable air conditioner in push-out windows. We supply wall vent kits for extractor fans, tumble dryer venting kits, window vent kits, and 150mm ducting. A Portable Air Conditioner, or PAC for short, is a small self-contained portable system excellent for cooling down single rooms. Split system would indeed be ideal, but that's not an option where we are due to building restrictions.I considered drilling exhaust ports into the walls to evacuate the hot air, but utlimately went for installed split systems which are in a different league by every measure. However, it is not recommended that you do this because the vent system is what removes the hot air from your home. If you have a screen, remove this before placing the Plexiglass into the window frame and then push it into place.

I am sure someone will be along to tell me I risked death but for a period of time I just stuck the exhuast up there. All portable air conditioners need a window, or exit point, this allows the unit to exhaust the hot air from the room. It’s a very simple process that should only take an hour or so once the glass has been cut and prepared for you.

This is a DIY sizing exercise that gives a good looking effect that can hardly be recognised as vent system.
