How many BTUs needed to cool a porch 6'x15'x9 w/ lots of glass?

We have a brick wall on one side which was originally the outside wall. The three other sides are brick about 4' high with storm windows on top that reach about 6' high. Full door and two small strip windows on front, five windows down one side that are 3'wide, and three across the back that are 26'' wide. Extra insulation in ceiling, solid concrete/tile floor, and we will be opening our LR door to complement the ability to heat and cool the new space.

Where do you live?  without further knowledge I'd say 16-20k BTU.

Can a pro recommend a comperable replacement wall AC only-no heat?

Most air conditioners now are reverse cycle, which means that they can heat as well as cool. Cooling only units were popular many years ago due to the price difference for a reverse cycle. Today, the cost of manufacturing has dropped and it has resulted in cooling only units being virtually finished. I would suggest you get a local air con sales company to come to your house to measure up properly and determine what would be best. There are a lot of factors in installing air conditioning. IE/ The size of the house, the area it will be required to heat / cool, the amount of windows, types of walls, roof etc (Heat loading on the house) Roof and wall insulation etc etc.

Need to mo we an electrical power point in a brick wall in my apartment

More information is needed.
Brick wall is inside apartment... what is on other side of wall?
Open existing electrical box. Drill through back of box and drill through wall until you come out on other side of wall. Install new box #1 on wall where drill comes out. Run conduit over to another new box#2. Drill through wall again until you come out on inside brick wall where you want to relocate original box. Install new surface-mount box#3 on brick wall. Then run wiring from original box. Original box cannot be bricked over or covered with building materials since it is a junction box where wires connect.
Other option is to install extension ring on top of existing electric box. Run conduit across face of brick wall. Install new box#1 where you need outlet.
Other option is to chisel away the brick and mortar from existing electric box down to floor level (or over to door frame). This will allow recessed conduit that can be concealed with matching mortar. Then run conduit across to new location. Cover conduit along floor with baseboard, or chisel out brick along floorline to accommodate conduit, then mortar over conduit. Or simply paint conduit to match brick. You must use conduit since wires cannot be run openly.

My friedrich zq05c10 is leaking water into my wall. Is there a drain plug and how do i clean it? it is at a 1/4 inch tilt toward the outside, so it is not that. any help is appreciated

Hi,
If you go outside and look at the bottom of the unit, you will see a rubber stopper in a hole aproximatly 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter, remove this plug and the unit should drain properly, if the problem persists, go out side to back of unit and remove the retainer screw at the bottom edge of unit , go to the inside portion and unscrew and remove the face and slide unit toward you , the bottom of the pan behind the evaporator coil section there is a indenture where condensate escapes the drain pan, make sure this area is clear of debris, you can use a pipe cleaner to do this.
this should help.

Morning, I got a external unit SH24BP2X samsung fro air conditionning, and I'ld like to buy an indoor unit. Is anybody can give me ref which match with this unit. I need 5/6 kw heating power. Thanks...

The 24 in your model number means 24,000 btus. There is 12 thousand btus in a ton of cooling. This makes your unit a two ton. You can buy a air handler sent up for two tons of cooling and then buy what every electric heat pack that you need. let me know. wally

We have mould spots in the corner of our downstairs toilet.. started with just a small amount but now have lots. Not a patch of mould but lots of small spots. the room is on the outside corner wall of...

There is probably moisture inside the wall. Take a look at the outside of the wall to see if you can identify the source of dampness. Maybe leaves are piled against the outside of the house, or vines are growing under the siding, or a downspout is splashing against the house when it rains. Or perhaps you have something leaking down inside the wall from upstairs. You will probably need to remove a bit of the wall from inside. If it's drywall, this isn't very hard to do, but start with a small hole, maybe 6 inches across. If you find wet insulation, you should enlarge the hole and remove all of the wet stuff. Before you replace all of the wet stuff with dry stuff, you need to remove the source of the dampness. It could also be that this corner is poorly insulated and gets lots of condensation from the shower. Good luck, Al K
