What You Need to Know – Danby Air Conditioners

Our Danby Air Conditioner Buyers Guide is here to help solve life’s biggest air conditioning mysteries. We know with so many options, it can be difficult assessing and deciding on the most appropriate unit for your needs!

The Great Debate: Portable vs. Window

There’s no doubt that some like it hot but most people prefer to stay cool when the sweltering heat arrives. Danby makes it easy for you to do this with our portable and window air conditioning units. Don’t know what type of unit you need? Let us help!

Portable air conditioners offer versatility

A portable air conditioner is a great choice if you are looking for versatility and a unit that can be easily moved from room to room.

These units require ventilation through an exhaust hose ensuring all heat removed is ejected elsewhere (generally outside). Danby makes this process simple by providing every portable unit with an expandable window installation kit that can fit easily in sliding glass doors, slider windows or double hung windows.

All of Danby’s current models require the removal of the condensation water that builds up over time. This can be done either manually by emptying out the bucket or through a direct drain hose.

Window air conditioners offer ease and more space

Window air conditioners are stored entirely outside of your living space, taking up significantly less room than portable models.

Danby’s most recent line of air conditioners does not need a drain in the back as most of the previous models did. These newer units use the water generated by the unit to cool the condenser coils which, in turn, evaporates the water that has accumulated. In extremely humid conditions condensation run-off may occur—don’t worry, this is normal!

Danby’s window air conditioners are designed for easy installation in a single or double-hung window and designed for vertical (slider type) windows. However, since window designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modifications for safe, proper installation

Size Matters

Refer to the BTU rating when deciding which size Danby air conditioner you may need. The higher the BTU, the bigger the room the unit can cool.

Common Mistakes

First Mistake

Too small of an air conditioner will continuously run and will not adequately cool a room.

Second Mistake

Bigger is not always better. Too large of an air conditioner unit will cycle off too quickly, not properly removing moisture from the air and may even freeze. This can result in excessive energy bills and can easily be avoided.
