Is it possible to put portable air conditioner outside the house

air-conditioning

I don't know if this has been done before, because because I rent, can not do any installation therefore a slip and window A/C is not an option for me and only portable is okay. But I heard that the portable is noisy.

So I wonder if it is possible to put the outside in the backyard (my window faces the backyard) and make some modification to the portable A/C by connecting the cold air to the hose through the window into the room.

Is that possible?

There are commercial units designed for this application, there should be no reason you could not convert yours for it.

However, you should consider:

  • if your unit is rated for indoor use only, you will be voiding the warranty and possible creating a shock/electrocution hazard; use a G.F.C.I. please
  • UV damage caused by exposure to sunlight, consider a shade structure
  • restriction of factory vent ports by McGyvering duct work to it may cause sub-optimal performance or may cause damage to the unit
  • air inlet exposure to outdoor dust and debris could affect the unit
