FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DOES THE GMCP10E – 10,000 BTU PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER REQUIRE INSTALLATION?

As a general rule very, little installation is required with portable air conditioners. Like all other models of portable air conditioners, the unit does contain an exhaust hose which needs to be vented to an outside area as this removes warm air and moisture from the room.The most important part of the setup that you will need to complete is determining where to vent the exhaust hose. You will need to vent the exhaust hose through a window, wall, or into an attic to release warm air from the room.

Sliding window exhaust hose kits supplied allow quick and easy window venting without losing cool air to the outside. The window kits supplied with all models of portable air conditioners and designed for sliding Windows. This is not always ideal in a country like South Africa which is why we have locally designed and produced a window seal kit for other window types. This additional window seal kit is available to purchase on all of our online platforms as well as Raines Africa.

HOW CAN I VENTILATE MY PORTABLE AC THROUGH A PUSH-OUT WINDOW (NON-SLIDING)?

The existing window kits for all Portable Aircons on the market are designed to fit sliding windows. Here at GMC Aircon, we realized this is not always ideal for the South African market and we have locally designed and produced a fabric window seal kit to fit other window types. This additional window seal kit is available for purchase on all of our online platforms. Please ensure the sizing is correct for your window type before purchasing the additional kit.

Internationally and locally, all portable air conditioners come equipped with sliding window kits as a standard feature.

We recognize that windows vary in design and structure. That’s precisely why we’ve taken an innovative approach, investing extra effort to engineer a revolutionary window seal kit that caters perfectly to the diverse range of South African window types. This kit seamlessly adapts to various window styles, ensuring a tight and efficient seal that effectively retains the cool air while keeping the heat at bay and in winter keeping the cool out.

With a simple installation process, our window seal kit is readily accessible on all our online platforms, website and Raines Africa. If you’re unsure of the sizing or have any questions at all then please don’t hesitate to contact one of the GMC Aircon team who will be more than happy to help.

IS THE GMCP10E PORTABLE AIRCON NOISY?

The noise level of portable air conditioners is an important consideration for many people. The medium sound level of portable air conditioners ranges from 52 dB to 57 dB. The average (54.6 dB) and the most common (56 dB) decibel ratings fall within this range. Unlike a split air conditioner, a portable air conditioner has everything in one casing. This means the compressor of the air conditioning, which is responsible for the noise, is built into the casing. As an example, a normal conversation has a decibel rating of between 50dB(A) and 65dB(A). A household fridge has a Decibel Rating of 55dB(A) and a vacuum cleaner has a decibel rating of 75dB(A)

The GMCP10E has a decibel rating of 50dB(A)

HOW BIG IS THE GMCP10E PORTABLE AIRCON?

Your new GMCP10E Portable Aircon has the following dimensions. For some customers this may not be the ideal size for the area where the unit is being place. Please ensure you are happy with the size of the product before purchasing.

350(W) x 348(L) x 701(H)

IS THE GMCP10E a ‘SMART’ appliance?

Yes, using the ‘Smart Life’ App you are able to connect the GMCP10E Portable Aircon to a WIFI enabled device and control your new air conditioner remotely. Full instructions are included in the user manual.

HOW LARGE OF A PORTABLE AIRCON DOES MY ROOM REQUIRE?

Please ensure that the GMCP10E is suitable for the coverage area you require. The ability of a portable air conditioner to cool is measured in BTUs, this refers to the amount of heat a unit can remove from the room. The greater the BTUs, the more cooling capacity the air conditioner has. You will need accurate measurements of your room in order to determine your BTU needs.

The GMCP10E is suitable for an area of approx 15-20m max. However, a general rule of thumb is 500-600btu/m . If you are not sure of your area, contact one of the GMC Airconditioning team for further technical assistance.

Other factors that can affect the BTUs that your room needs include the insulation, direct sunlight, number of people normally in the room, how hot the room is without air conditioning, and other sources of heat in the room.

WHAT IF MY EXHAUST HOSE ISN’T LONG ENOUGH?

The size of the exhaust supplied with all portable air conditioners on the market is 1.5M as this is the industry standard to ensure optimum performance of the aircon. Adding extra length to your exhaust hose has potential to damage your Portable AC unit and void the manufacturer’s warranty.A longer exhaust hose can lead to dangerous overheating of the air conditioning unit; therefore, it is not advised to lengthen the exhaust hose. If you’re ever in doubt please feel free to give one of the GMC team a call and we’ll be more than happy to help with any questions you may have.

CAN THE GMCP10E PORTABLE AC COOL MORE THAN ONE ROOM?

Portable AC units do not circulate air beyond the immediate area; therefore, they are not normally effective for cooling more than one room. In general, Portable Aircons are recommended for cooling a single room at a time. Please ensure the GMCP10E matches the room size you are trying to cool. It has the ability to cool down or heat up any space of up to 20m2. Your new GMCP10E Portable Aircon does include castor wheels on the base which allow for easy movement from room to room – We also offer spare window kits for sale which you can setup in additional rooms which will allow for easy movement of your portable aircon allowing you to cool separate rooms at ease.

HOW MANY HOSES DOES THE PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER HAVE?

The GMCP10E is a single hose unit. A single hose portable air conditioner will have one hose that it used to vent the exhaust outside of the room that is being cooled. The unit removed warm air and moisture from the room and vents the warm air away through the exhaust hose. A slight amount of negative pressure is created using this type of Aircon unit due to the air that is released from the room and not replaced. This will be countered by air being drawn in from surrounding rooms.

IS THE GMCP10E ECO FRIENDLY?

Here at GMC Aircon, we believe in innovation and preservation, our products use the latest in eco-friendly advancements such as R290 refrigerant.

R290 is pure and eco-friendly, and has been named as the preferred green gas refrigeration option by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to its high efficiency and energy savings alongside its environmentally friendly impact.
