It's a single unit (hot air pipe out the window) job isn't it? I'm afraid they're not exactly wonderfully efficient ... it's the splt unit ones that turn the room int a fridge!
 
Basically if the air out of the room exhaust is cold and the air out of the window exhaust is warm then it's doing its job ... stupid question I know but you *DO* have the exhaust going out of a window don't you? Is the window open or have you sealed round it (warm air comes in which makes the AC's job more difficult).

The unit is operating in a room that is around 12ft by 9ft and has been running on full blast for around 4 hours.  It doesn't seem to be able t reduce the temperature below 24 degrees, does this sound healthy or time for a service call??

I'm afraid I can't help out on the manual for this one...
 
The refrigerant should be rechargeable/refillable if necessary however you shouldn't have to worry about it - I mean, do you worry about this on a fridge? We have portable units at work which are five years old and are working fine.

Hi,
 
I have just managed to find a Homebase air conditioning unit and have a couple of questions that I hope you can help me with.  The unit is made by King Post Industries and has a model number of RAE-007, it looks like it was manufactured around 1998.
 
1)    Does anyone know the life expectancy of the refrigerant within these units?
 
2)    Is it possible t have the refrigerant replace within a portable unit?
 
2)    Can anyone e-mail me a copy of a manual?
 
Thanks in antcipation,
 
Steven
