The built in heat pump gives up to 3.4 kWh of heat for every 1 kWh of electricity it uses (heating rating A++), where a plug in electric heater gives just 1 kWh. With up to 2,560 W of heat output, it warms the same rooms it cools, so you get year round comfort from one unit. Switch between cooling, heating and drying on the control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat features does it have?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat pump heating\u003c\/strong\u003e for cold winter days and chilly evenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e for summer heatwaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDehumidifier mode\u003c\/strong\u003e to dry damp air and help with condensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleep mode\u003c\/strong\u003e that dims the display and runs gently overnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual motors\u003c\/strong\u003e for quieter, more efficient running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf evaporating\u003c\/strong\u003e water system, so there is rarely a tank to empty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool free setup\u003c\/strong\u003e with a window kit, no engineer needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the 9,000 BTU portable air conditioner specifications?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCooling power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9,000 BTU (2.6 kW)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeating power\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,560 W heat pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower use when cooling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,015 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eEnergy rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCooling A, heating A++\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNoise\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 to 48 dB(A), high to low fan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRemoves moisture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 0.9 litres an hour in cooling mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR290, a natural refrigerant with a very low climate impact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.8 cm wide, 41.9 cm deep, 68.8 cm tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.5 kg, on four castor wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlug\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard UK socket, 220 to 240 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite or black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you set up a portable air conditioner?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo engineer needed. Wheel the unit to the window, fit the window kit, connect the exhaust hose and plug it into a normal socket. The hose carries the warm air outside, which is what cools the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo I still need the window kit when it's heating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It heats like a heat pump, taking warmth from the air and sending the leftover cold air outside through the hose. With the hose out of the window you get much more heat for the electricity it uses than a plug-in heater gives. Without it, that cold air stays in the room and cancels out most of the warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes it need emptying?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsually not. It reuses most of the water it collects to help cool itself, so in normal UK weather you rarely need to drain it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to BTU?
