I had no idea of the difference and when I contacted the company they were useless. dimensions were correct & does what its supposed to.Other reviews were helpful in deciding on this unit. So far so good I have purchased 4 of these units from a dealer, not from Anazon. One cooled 3 months. One cooled 2 days, was repaired, now not cooling again. Works just as I had hoped. Awesome item, we love it!

Any window air conditioning unit can be powered by a generator. However, you may not be able to power many other appliances plus an AC window unit, depending on the size of the generator. Wattage is the primary unit of measurement used to determine how much a generator can handle. If you are considering purchasing a generator to power a window AC unit and additional appliances, you need to do basic math and planning to determine if the generator you choose is sufficient. Wattage Wattage (W) is the basic unit of measurement for electric power. It is defined as amperage (current or electrical flow) multiplied by voltage (electric potential). All appliances that plug into a standard duplex receptacle in the United States operate on a nominal 120 volts (V). The actual volts present at the outlet depends on a number of factors, including the electrical utility, and the length and size of the cable feeding the outlet. However, you can reasonably expect that a properly installed duplex receptacle on a 120-V circuit has between 110 and 125 volts present.

Amperage (A) varies from unit to unit. Typical Window Unit Wattage Window AC units have two watt ratings: starting wattage and running wattage. automotive ac repair lakeland flStarting wattage is higher because as the machine starts up and the motor begins to turn, amperage spikes as the motor draws higher current to overcome inertia and starting friction. hepa filters for air handling unitsA typical starting wattage for a window unit is 2200. whole house ac units lowesOnce the motor is running steadily, the amperage drops and the wattage usually is around 1500. Your unit may have different ratings. Examine the nameplate or the specifications in the manual to determine how much power your AC unit uses. Generators There are generators for just about any situation.

The smallest generators are portable gas-powered units. The largest industrial-size generators can power a whole facility. A homeowner is likely to have either a small, portable generator or a whole-house generator. Electricians generally install a generator, which is wired to a sub-panel or the main panel, depending on its size and specifications. Connecting your generator to an electrical panel allows for more efficient and safer power distribution throughout a house. Generator Wattage Generators are rated according to the maximum wattage they can handle. A typical portable generator for emergency use by a homeowner might be rated 4000 to 7500 W. Whole-house standby models typically are rated 25,000 W or higher. If you are considering purchasing a generator, deciding what size to buy is not as simple as adding up the watts of the appliances you'll use. Judicious power management strategies can help maximize the potential of your generator.

As a kid I used to call that the "angry" plug. My house was built before central A/C was a consideration and the bedrooms were all retrofitted for window units. At the time window units were usually 240V systems. If this plug is near a window, that's very likely to be why someone would put such a thing in the wall. Switching to 120V probably isn't going to be very difficult or time consuming and if you know much about wiring and applicable codes, you could probably DIY. I'm guessing, however, by the subject of this thread that you would be smart to hire this job out. If the stars are aligned your electrician may be able to leave your existing wires in place, cap one leg of the 240V at the panel and in the wall box and replace the breaker with a 15A. You may get off as lightly as $25 in materials and an hour or two labor.

*EDIT* I just realized that you were renting. Your landlord probably has people he would want to use, have you talked to him or her about this? 8,293 posts, read 18,846,880 times Originally Posted by jmax I can't say for sure, but I'd bet my big fat butt that it's a 220V outlet, and you have a 110V window unit. If my hunch is correct, the bottom line is that you simply can't plug your AC into that outlet. Get an acceptable (heavy) extension cord and run to a different outlet. Bigger window AC units used to be 220V. Imagine how THAT would make your electric meter spin! 26,348 posts, read 69,637,911 times Maybe not much more if the current draw was half as much. 13,975 posts, read 39,423,209 times 10,205 posts, read 33,380,249 times Take a look at the standard wall outlet and figure out if it has a 15 or 20 A breaker, then look at the data plate on your air conditioner - if it draws less than 15 amps, you should be able to use the outlet nearby.
