I recently moved into a second floor apartment without a window air conditioner. The only suitable windows for air conditioner placement are over walkways which makes me very uneasy about putting an A/C in there. I think my best bet is putting in a portable A/C. I do have a few questions though. I've been looking at the Sunpentown 1010E units which are 10000 BTU units. (
- All the info I see says that these have a LCDI plug. Does this require a special electrical socket?
- One website says that the 14000 BTU version requires a 20 AMP socket. It specifically says
(This unit is designed to operate on a 120-volt/20-amp circuit, using a specific electrical plug and outlet. If you do not have this type of outlet or if not enough amperage, contact an electrician who can install a proper outlet designed to carry the necessary amperage.)
I can't find any info on what the 10000 BTU unit need. I checked my sockets and they say that they're 15 AMP. Is this enough?
I'm a definite newb when it comes to this stuff. I didn't realize that there was so much to research. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
