Window Too Short For Air Conditioner

I have a portable ac and it works okay but i would not be too optimistic about its efficacy in a high humidity environment.

Window too short for air conditioner.

Yes you need either a casement window ac or a portable ac. The manufacture only uses a certain length cord. We cannot recommend any extension cord it does add to the impedance of the air. Mounting the air conditioner requires a window large and sturdy enough to hold the unit in place and a power outlet capable of dealing with the electrical requirements of the unit.

Those appear to be the same aluminum slider frame windows i ve got in my house but smaller. I understand how frustrating it is having trouble with a power cord too short on the air conditioner. Not having enough refrigerant in your air conditioner is a common cause of short cycling and it can also contribute to a variety of other air conditioning issues such as ice buildup. Fitting an ac into a window has more wiggle room than you d expect so it s worth trying a few approaches before settling for a portable air conditioner.

A replacement cord would be the same length. I have a 12 000 btu window air conditioner its cord does not reach my outlet 3 short. Adding a window mounted air conditioner to your home is a quick and easy way to keep a room cool during high temperature days. We are here to help.
