  • Portable AC in Lebanon

I need a portable AC for a room that is 3mx4m .. this is in anticipation for the upcoming summer .. anyone with experience or advice is welcome to share here .. also if you know anyone who sells these units i will be grateful
Are you looking for a split type or one of those you can cart around room to room? If the latter, they tend to be a little more expensive and some, if not most, require access to a drain so the water produced, can go somewhere. I have seen one at Khoury for $350ish a couple of years ago and saw one at TSC Jnah a few months ago that was around LL650K and I think that one was 12000 BTU.
but be advised that almost all the mobile ones sold in the market are spot conditioner , they cool one corner in the room and make the other corners hotter because the dissipated heat is released also inside the room.
Thank you all for the info .. i will be looking into it .. the summer is too hot and too humid for me (i had 4 fans at one time and i was still sweating like a pig) .. the room has poor electrical outputs that can't support the existing 12000BTU AC that is already installed (and neither does the "ishtirak") ... I can't change much about the existing AC inside the room hence the portable AC and i am willing to invest in one for 300$ better than paying for extra 5amps (80$ per month).

Yeah--you will probably need a fan with the AC (more efficient anyway), but I forgot about the exhaust port too. You need to find a place to put that so it goes out on a balcony or outside somewhere. Not all have the exhaust ports, but they are better if they have them because heat has to go somewhere.

I guess now that i think about they really aren't that portable.

gl--heat and humidity sucks.
