AC air conditioning window units?
November 21, 2009
ajbbd asked:
Do window air conditioning units give off carbon dioxide or any other poisonous fumes? My central AC is broken so I am using a small 6500 btu window air conditioning unit. It is sitting in the window of my kitchen door so the heat & water drip into my garage. The kitchen door opens into the garage (25′ x 15′ – 20′). Is it safe to do this? It feels like it’s 150 degrees out there. There is a 2′ x 2′ hole (covered w/screen) about 8′ high on the opposite wall (an ac duct used to be there) – am hoping that is good enough for ventilation. Living space inside is 1100 sq ft – is a block house in Miami.

no they exchange hot air, and moisture,
yes its just venting the heat exchanged to the garage,
