Useful information

All portable air conditioners must be vented out so the heat is removed from the room that is being cooled. The ideal solution is to vent them through a wall or window. For your convenience, this air conditioner is supplied with a hose and a window venting kit so you can start using it straight away! The provided kit is designed to be installed with sliding or sash windows but is not ideal for other window types. However, the provided fishtail adapter can be used with most windows or doors. During cooling, the fishtail reducer ensures that the opening is as small as possible. For even better cooling, we provide an optional universal window seal at checkout.

Question from Chris: Asked on 01/03/2026 Would this be suitable for a small conservatory. 5m by 2.5 m wide

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 02/03/2026

Hi Chris,The electriQ 12,000?BTU portable air conditioner (P12C) would be suitable for your conservatory, which is 5?m by 2.5?m (12.5?m²), as it has more than enough cooling capacity for that size. However, because conservatories often have large glass areas that let in a lot of heat, its effectiveness will depend on proper venting, shading, and insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature.Thanks!

Question from peter: Asked on 28/02/2026 how easy is it to drain water

Answer from JoseBacud: Answered on 05/03/2026

Hi Peter,Draining water from the ElectriQ 12000?BTU Portable Air Conditioner (P12C) is very easy: the unit has a small internal tank that can be emptied by simply removing a drain plug, and its self-evaporative system means you often won’t need to drain it manually; for added convenience, you can also attach a hose for continuous automatic drainage.Thanks!

Question from Harbs: Asked on 19/07/2021 Can I get a longer heat extractor pipe for this AC unit ?

Answer from MichaelBridge: Answered on 20/07/2021

Hi Harbs


We recommend that the standard hose be used as an extension can put addiditional strain on the unit. 


If possible move the unit closer to a window perhaps by stading it on a box or piece of furniture.


Kind regards,


Michael
