I have been told that portable aircons can be used in outdoor areas and they do help cool down the temperature somewhat. Any one experienced that?

Just to clarify – am intending to place units under a tent but the sides are open. Additionally will I cause damage to the units – placing undue stress on the mechanism?

Is it good to run an airconditioner when it is cold outside and cool inside?

March 15th, 2010 OrlyZiya 3 comments

We have a small airconditioner, its the kind that is in apartments in the wall. I was wondering, is it good to use it even if the inside is cool and the outside is even colder? Also are air conditioner is making wierd sounds now, out side it sounds like popcorn is poping. Is that rare but normal or os that bad? If it is bad, is it from it being used in the cold? It is a modern airconditioner.

Is it possible to get additional indoor unit for Split airconditioners?

March 12th, 2010 OrlyZiya 5 comments

I wish to purchase Split Airconditioner (india) If I check the specifications of various brand air conditioners, it is showing only single indoor unit. Since I have two rooms, I wish to have two indoor units with the same compressor input. Is it possible to get additional indoor unit.

Is it possible to install two indoor units with same compressor

Whether they will give second indoor unit (even though it is not mentioned in specification) if we pay additional amount
