creative1000 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Is it possible to run a split A/C without drilling into the house? For example: set the A/C unit box outside and run the tubing/wires through a gap in an open window to the blower unit inside (laying on a shelf). And seal the window air-tight. Is this doable or any foreseeable problems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installing or replacing aircon will give more value to his room, so he may very probably accept it ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit loud in the bedroom though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadee Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The best solution is to properly install it with a hole through the wall; ask the landlord - they may agree if you say they can keep the unit when you move out. Quote For example: set the A/C unit box outside and run the tubing/wires through a gap in an open window to the blower unit inside (laying on a shelf). And seal the window air-tight.Is this doable or any foreseeable problems? The main problem is that the blower unit needs to be wired into the mains electricity - it isn't safe to have it lying on a shelf. It needs to be earthed/grounded. If you want to do this, buy a stand-alone (portable) unit on wheelshttps://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/gree-แอร์เคลื่อนที่-gree-gpc12al-k3nna1a-225404 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Tea Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 1 hour ago, creative1000 said: Its a rental, cannot make physical changes to the home. Fill the hole in when you leave, taking AC with you. A lot of landlords do their best to keep your deposit regardless of damage... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative1000 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone! Appreciate all the responses to this bizarre out of the box question. In short, 1. I've heard the portable AC units are useless & very loud hence why I was exploring this weird option. 2. Landlord had said house modifications were ok, but only for a new 2-year lease. Already on a current 1-year lease that will expire in May. 3. Yes, definitely don't want to give my landlord a free AC (larger size is nearly 40-50,000 baht), nor lose my deposit if thats possible. Will keep exploring other options. Thanks ???? Edited August 24, 2020 by creative1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its crazy how the AC's double in price above 18,000btu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
