PTAC Units Explained

[@cuppatea4466]

Thanks for the explanation. I had never heard of these before.

[@TotalHomeSupply]

You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped introduce you to PTACs. They're pretty common in hotels and apartments, so it's handy to know about them!

Are there PTAC that can dehumidify as well?

[@TotalHomeSupply]

Yes, many PTAC units effectively dehumidify while cooling by removing moisture as air passes over the evaporator coil. For enhanced humidity control, consider models like the GE AZHS09DCXXA PTAC, which offers advanced features for moisture removal. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and ensuring proper drainage, will keep the unit operating efficiently.

Do PTACs need ait filters and for those to be replaced?

[@TotalHomeSupply]

Yes, PTACs need air filters, and it's important to clean or replace them regularly to keep the unit running efficiently and maintain good air quality. Thanks for stopping by!

My neighbors upstairs Amana PTAC is leaking water all over my deck outside. Fix?

[@ImStep-by-Step]

They probably have a clogged drip pan

[@TotalHomeSupply]

Could be a clog in the drainage system, and like the other viewer said, the drip pan can be clogged or cracked.

Not much difference from a regular window AC i see,

[@TotalHomeSupply]

You're right that PTACs and window AC units have some similarities, but the big difference is how PTACs can both heat and cool, and they’re designed for more powerful, consistent use in commercial spaces like hotels and offices. They also offer easier maintenance and are built to last longer than typical window units. Thanks for watching!

@@TotalHomeSupply I didn't know that Mine is a 2300btu with 1200 heat, When i bought my house a few years ago i paid a fortune for a 15000btu window unit it couldnt do anything, so then i had to wire up a 220 plug and go for the bigger AC i paid a lot less for the larger AC used then the new 15000 110volt
