Manuals & Guides


FAQ

What is the difference between the ARC-1230WN and ARC-1230WNH?

The ARC-1230WN is a cooling-only model with four modes: Auto, Cool, Dehumidify, and Fan. The ARC-1230WNH adds a Heat mode (12,000 BTU heating output), making it a year-round solution for both summer cooling and winter heating. All other specs and features are identical between the two models.

What does "SACC BTU" mean, and how is it different from ASHRAE BTU?

ASHRAE BTU (14,000 BTU) is measured under older laboratory conditions and tends to show a higher number. SACC (Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity) at 12,000 BTU is the newer, more realistic standard that accounts for heat generated by the unit itself and better reflects real-world performance in your home. The SACC rating is the more accurate number to use when comparing portable ACs.

Does this unit require any permanent installation?

No permanent installation is required. The unit comes with a window kit that fits most standard single or double-hung windows (adjustable from 28" to 82" wide). You simply connect the hose-in-hose assembly to the window panel. The unit can also be used with a sliding door kit or adapted for wall venting with minor modifications.

How does the self-evaporation feature work - will I need to empty a water tank?

This unit uses a self-evaporation system that exhausts most condensed moisture through the exhaust hose, minimizing the need for manual draining. In high-humidity conditions, if water accumulates, it can be drained via the lower drain port (the internal lower reservoir holds a maximum of 2 pints). For continuous operation in very humid environments, you can connect a drain hose to the lower port for automatic drainage.

Is this unit compatible with smart home systems?

Yes. The built-in Wi-Fi connects to the NetHome Plus app for remote control from your smartphone. It is also fully compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free voice control. Setup is straightforward through the app, which is available for both iOS and Android.

How quiet is this unit during operation?

The NEX inverter technology makes this one of the quietest portable ACs available. On low speed it operates at under 42.5 dB - roughly the sound of a quiet library. Medium is 49.5 dB and high is 56.5 dB. For sleeping or working in a quiet environment, low or medium speed provides barely noticeable background white noise.

Can I use this unit in my garage?

Yes, this unit can be used daily in a garage. It can cool spaces up to 600 sq ft and is suitable for permanent use. If your garage does not have a window, wall venting is possible with minor modifications - most customers cut the included window panel to fit a wall opening, or use an aftermarket wall adapter.
