    The compressor on the portable was a little bigger but otherwise it's about the same as a window ac. The main reason it took so long was because it was a busy day with customers coming in. All the people who work for a living come in on a Sunday cause it's their only day off. They keep me pretty busy between running the compactor and answering questions about what goes where. The workday goes by fast when you're busy.



    I bet you'll be banging those ac's out like nobody's business once you've done a trailer load. The main thing is to stay focused on the task at hand. I've found the less i talk ... the more my work on the bench gets done.

    Those are called PTAC Units, or an Packaged Thermal Air Conditioner. They are used in aprts, hotels, schools, ect. Pretty much widow Ac unit with a heating coil thats permanently mounted threw the wall, but its still like a window unit with around 80 - 100 screws

    Thanks for posting gt. I know they've been around for quite awhile but i always thought they made heat by running the ac in reverse like a heat pump. It's a good day when one learns something new.

    That's exactly what I had probably older. I'm going to cut ends off of rads today.
