   In this video I review the HAIER HPY08XCM 8000BTU Portable Air Conditioner 2015. ... No comments to display ... CommercialCool 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Timer with Dan Hughes - Duration: 9:24. by QVC ...

with capacitors it doesn't matter which wire goes on which terminal
if it has just 2 terminals then a wire on each
if it has 4 terminals then one wire on one set and the other wire on the other set
A set is two terminals side by side
However if you are still undecided , get an electrician to fit the wires.

Air conditioners can only drop the temperature of the room temperature a maximum of 15 to 20 degrees F. A 95 degree F room temperature can drop to a maximum temperature of 75 to 80 degrees F. If the room temperature drops from 95 to 85 degrees F, Then the problem is having too small of a btu rating on the air conditioner or refrigerant has leaked out the sealed system which can affect the amount of cooling performance. You will have to buy a higher rated btu rated air conditioner if the temperature of the room drops by only 10 degrees F. Air conditioners are rated by how much heat that can be removed each hour. The more humid it is, the more work an air conditioner has to do. They cannot do more work than the btu rating that is listed on each air conditioner.

Hello
This model is 5050 btu per hour,will cool room 10x15 or 150 sq feet.

7000 btu is very small unit for a small bed room 150 square feet apx.

Check filter, if you have a 5000BTU unit (small) and it is extremely hot, then it wont work great for a big room. BTU is the rate of what the AC will put out. 5000 BTU is good for a small single room. 10,000 will cool a bigger room and 18,000 btu is meant to cool a home.

How many Square Feet is the ac rated for?How large of room are you trying to cool??

Hitachi is a good brand, I wouldn't be afraid of it.

As to the size, it seems a little 'oversized' for the room you're talking about.

24x12 = 288 sq ft. As a general rule you need 12000 btu for every 600 sq ft.

I'm thinking between 6000 -10000 btu ought to be big enough.

Lots of things go into sizing, and the size of the room is important - but the 'heat load,' needs to be considered too. For example - will there be a lot of people in this room, or is there a lot of windows, is there electrical equipment in this room that will be putting off heat, and how well is it insulated? So you need to consider all of these things when deciding what size unit to buy.

For example - if this room is a bedroom and used primarily for sleeping - I wouldn't be afraid to put a 6000 btu unit in it - but if it was going to be used as a place with tv's, computers and other electrical equipment I might want to put a 10000 btu (or larger) in it.

Good Luck!



Generally speaking, it sounds like 18000 btu is too much AC here, and there's no reason to spend more money than you need to and you can 'oversize' just as easy as you can 'undersize' when it comes to Air Condtioning.

i dont think you are drawing air from outside you are expeling the heat from indoor ...outdoor so for it to cool the room you must vent the hose outside

What size unit do I need for my room? Use the following chart to find the appropriate size air conditioner to use:

AREA TO BE COOLED / CAPACITY (BTU/HR)

100 to 150 square feet = 5,000

150 to 250 square feet = 6,000

250 to 300 square feet = 7,000

300 to 350 square feet = 8,000

350 to 400 square feet = 9,000

400 to 450 square feet = 10,000

450 to 550 square feet = 12,000

550 to 700 square feet = 14,000

700 to 1000 square feet = 18,000

If the room is heavily shaded, reduce needed capacity by 10%

If the room receives a lot of direct sun, increase needed capacity by 10%

Add 600 Btu/Hr for each person in the room if there are more than two people

If the unit is for a kitchen, increase the capacity by 4,000-6,000 Btu/Hr.

if this helps please vote me a fix ya
