Hello Holly, it depends on the wattage. 13,500 BTU units usually require 1,500W to run; and about 3,000W or 4,000W for the startup. A 5,000W generator should be sufficient; you can run all kinds of other devices that require electricity on that generator. Reply You get two window kits with the supplied 1.8m duct as standard – a fabric one designed to be attached via supplied Velcro strips, plus one that comprises a trio of hard plastic window ‘plates’. When joined together, the latter also allows you to vent the duct through a sliding door – though you’ll be left with a small gap at the top. This is still far better than the window kits offered with most air conditioners, a big point in the Meaco’s favour. First of all, the Energy Star certified energy-efficiency of Midea 8,000 BTU U-Inverter is superb. With a 15 CEER rating, the Midea unit uses as little as 710W to produce 8k of cooling output. Comparatively, that makes it 35% more energy-efficient than other 8,000 BTU units. High wattage air conditioners cost more to run. For example, a 1000W AC unit spends 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity per hour. 1500W unit, for comparison, spends 1.5 kWh of electricity per hour. I advise choosing air conditioners with an average noise level of 55 dB or lower to save your ears and nerves.
When considering the dimensions, you will also need to evaluate the weight of the unit so you can easily mount, maneuver or move the unit around. The best-rated 8,000 BTU portable air conditioners we have featured weigh a minimum of 50 pounds, but the handles and wheels enhance their portability. Warranty The AC is easy to move, thanks to being reasonably sized and not weighing that much (about the same as the SereneLife unit). The short exhaust hose and power cord limit where you can place the unit, though. I have a 9000 btu, 980 watt portable ac with 115 volts and 9.2 amps. Will a 2300watt generator be enough for the surge to start it? Reply Note: Evaporative coolers and mini personal air coolers do not produce a cooling effect that can be expressed in BTU. They use water evaporation instead of the refrigerant-based system to provide a cooling effect.The control panel is simple and easy to learn. However, it — and the remote sensors — are placed on top of the unit. That makes the basic remote control fairly unresponsive. I have a 7000 but portable ac and I just recently bought an 1800w generator is this enough for the ac or what do I need Reply Like with the B+D unit, installation is super easy. If you need guidance, the installation manual is well-detailed — a bit too detailed, considering how simple portable ACs are to set up.
In the U.S., it is a standard requirement for all air conditioners to have a minimum EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of 8.0. The FRIGIDAIRE Mini-Compact Air Conditioner, for instance, has a high EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of 12.0 EER is derived by comparing BTU to wattage. The equation for ‘ sq ft to BTU‘ is quite simple – multiply the sq ft with 20. That means that a 500 sq ft room needs a 10,000 BTU air conditioner. Of course, do make sure to buy an AC unit that is a bit stronger if you have high ceilings, live in a hot climate, and have an above-average sun in those rooms. Question: What is the 12,000 BTU air conditioner room size? 12,000 BTU is equal to 1 ton; we’re talking about 1 ton AC room size.

Window and portable AC units can be small enough to generate as little as 8,000 BTU. That’s why they are perfect units to cool small to mid-sized rooms.
