Choosing the right EcoAir portable air conditioner depends on the size of your room and how much heat builds up in the space. Factors such as insulation, direct sunlight, the number of people in the room, and heat-producing appliances can all affect the cooling capacity required.

As a guide, the EcoAir Apollo 10K is suitable for rooms up to approximately 30 m², while the more powerful Apollo 12K is designed for rooms up to approximately 35 m². For the best cooling performance, choose a model that matches your room size and conditions.

EcoAir portable air conditioners are designed for quick and straightforward installation. Position the unit near a suitable window, connect the exhaust hose securely to the air conditioner, and fit the supplied window kit.

If your EcoAir portable air conditioner includes a window cloth kit, this will be supplied in the box and can be fitted around a suitable opening window. This helps direct hot exhaust air outside while reducing the amount of warm air entering the room.

For detailed, step-by-step guidance, please refer to the user manual supplied with your EcoAir portable air conditioner or download the latest version from the EcoAir website's Online Manuals section. This includes installation instructions, operating guidance, maintenance advice, and troubleshooting tips.

Yes. All EcoAir portable air conditioners require ventilation to operate effectively. The warm air removed from the room must be discharged outside, which is typically done through an open window using the supplied window kit or window cloth kit, depending on your EcoAir model.

Correct ventilation is essential for efficient cooling. For the best performance, ensure the exhaust hose is fitted securely, kept as short and straight as possible, and that the window opening is sealed using the supplied accessories to minimise warm air re-entering the room.

EcoAir portable air conditioners need a suitable way to vent warm air outside, with a window being the most common and convenient option. Depending on the room, alternative ventilation may be possible through a suitable external door or another safe opening to the outside.

The exhaust hose should never be left venting inside the room, as this will release the warm air back into the same space and significantly reduce cooling performance.

For the best results, keep the exhaust hose securely connected, as short and straight as possible, and use the supplied window kit or window cloth kit where applicable.

The amount of electricity an EcoAir portable air conditioner uses depends on the model, its rated power input, how long it operates, and the temperature and conditions of the room.

For the most accurate information, check the power consumption or rated input shown in the product specifications or user manual for your EcoAir model.

Using the built-in thermostat, timer and sleep mode, where available, can help manage energy use by reducing unnecessary running time. Keeping doors and windows closed and making sure the room is properly ventilated will also help the unit cool more efficiently.

Yes. Many EcoAir portable air conditioners can be used overnight, provided the unit is installed and operated correctly.

For added comfort and energy efficiency, use the sleep mode or timer function, where available. These settings can help reduce noise, control the operating time and prevent the unit from running longer than needed.

Make sure the portable air conditioner is positioned on a stable surface, has enough space around it for airflow, and that the exhaust hose is securely fitted and venting warm air outside.

The air filter on your EcoAir portable air conditioner should normally be cleaned every two weeks to help maintain good airflow, cooling performance and energy efficiency.

If the unit is used frequently or in a dusty environment, the filter may need to be cleaned more often.

Before cleaning, switch off and unplug the unit. Remove the filter carefully and follow the cleaning instructions in your EcoAir user manual.

Why is my EcoAir portable air conditioner not cooling properly?

If your EcoAir portable air conditioner is not cooling effectively, check the following:

• 
  Make sure the exhaust hose is connected securely and venting warm air outside. A loose or incorrectly fitted hose can allow hot air to return to the room.
  
• 
  Check and clean the air filter. A dirty or blocked filter can reduce airflow and cooling performance.
  
• 
  Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible while the unit is running.
  
• 
  Check the temperature setting. It should be set lower than the current room temperature.
  
• 
  Allow enough space around the unit so air can circulate freely.
  
• 
  Keep the exhaust hose as short and straight as possible and avoid sharp bends.
  
• 
  Check the water tank or drainage system, where applicable, and empty or reconnect it if required.
  
• 
  Consider the size and conditions of the room. Direct sunlight, poor insulation, large windows, heat-producing appliances or a room that is too large for the model can reduce cooling performance.
