Is it a problem if the exhaust hose on a home air conditioner unit feels hot?
If you're asking about a portable air conditioner, the kind that has two large hoses running to an adapter that one mounts in a window, the exhaust hose is supposed to be hot, or at least warm. That's heat that the air conditioner has absorbed from the room and is dumping outside the living space.
Can a portable air conditioner be vented through a fireplace flu and chimney?
Yes, this is a great way to exhaust a single hose portable air conditioner. You would simply need to adapt the hose connections to the front of your fireplace.

How do you effectively use a portable air conditioner in your home?

How can I enhance the cooling efficiency of a portable air conditioner?
To enhance the cooling efficiency of a portable air conditioner, you can ensure proper ventilation by keeping the exhaust hose straight and unobstructed, place the unit in a shaded area to reduce heat intake, and regularly clean or replace the air filter to maintain optimal airflow.
What is the difference between a window unit air conditioner and a portable air conditioner?
Yes, they can work very well but you have to be aware of how to position them for best cooling effect: you can't just stand a portable air conditioning unit in the middle of the room, as if it was a room heater. Always place the portable AC unit next to a window opening (or similar) so that all (100%) of the hot air from the unit gets sent outside the room you are trying to cool. If you let any of the hot air from the unit get back into the room you will just be wasting electricity. There are some tricks to get the most out of a portable AC. First, insulate the exhaust hose. Even something simply like wrapping the exhaust hose with towels, or modifying a hot water heater insulation blanket to cover the exhaust hose can yield huge improvements in the performance of the air conditioner because the exhaust hose radiates a lot of heat back into the room during normal operation. Another hint - I nearly always recommend that our customers buy a dual hose portable air conditioner because they are more efficient and typically cool better than single hose units.
What are some portable air conditioner options that do not require a hose for ventilation?
Some portable air conditioner options that do not require a hose for ventilation include evaporative air coolers, personal air conditioners, and portable air coolers with ice packs. These units use different methods to cool the air without needing a hose for ventilation.
