IF not, can cord/plug be replaced with standard 3-prong plug?Or can 3-prong receptacle be replaced with receptacle to fit the LCDI (A) plug? Welcome to our forums!

ng. It is an 18,500 BTU room air conditioner. Do you have any idea what I can do to convert the plu PM  What you have is an  Lcdi (B) plug 220 -240 volts  required.You have a  220 volt ac unit which would be required to operate an 18,500 btu unit.  Wont work on 110 volts You could have anelectrician rewire for 220 or  exchange your ac unit for a smaller one 12,000 or less btu approx. your owners manual or whatecever docs they supplied you likley has the wrong plug  info, not uncommon as your ac unit is likley Korean or Chinese mfr. sometimes things get lost in translatac unit for pcion. Good luck if you exchange unit have them make sure it is 110 vac which does use an lcdi(a ) plug which is standard  110 volt  3 pbuy used air conditioning unitsUpdated Portable AC units are popular recently because it's summer and a bathtub outside, and because they don't block your entire window. average cost of replacing ac unit

Also they are more cost-effective than central air as they only air condition the rooms that you are using. There are so many types of portable air conditioners available, and each have their own ways of simplifying the steps of condensation removal, dehumidification, water-tray emptying frequency, filter cleaning, and remote operation, so choosing the right one can be daunting.Based on Comparaboo's analysis of over 90,000 customer reviews, expert articles, brand, and product reputation, the best portable AC unit is the Honeywell MM14CCS 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control.This portable air conditioner is 65.5 lbs and can cool, dehumidify, and fan areas of up to 550 sq ft. The unit dehumidifies up to 79.2 pints a day, and air flows at 265 CU ft per minute. The fan has a choice of three speeds, and the cooling temperature can be set from 61° - 89°Fahrenheit. The portable unit sits on wheels, may be remote control operated, may be run on a timer, and has an auto-evaporation system that uses an easy-to-install window venting kit and flexible exhaust hose that reduce the need for water drainage.

This window venting kit can be used in front of a metal screen and the exhaust will not melt the screen.This is the window installation kit it comes with. Everything snaps together and set up should take 5-10 minutes. This is how an older model looks with the exhaust hose and window kit set up. (The Honeywell MM14CCS has a digital LED display.)The auto-evaporation system is designed to not drip, comes with a condensation tray that does not have to be changed frequently, and its pull-up filter is easy to remove and washable. This shows the pull-up filter feature.This portable AC unit does not leak, and user reviews raved about their lower electricity bills and having to empty the condensation tray infrequently.The parts it comes with are: Cooling unitWindow bracket kitWindow bracket panel adapterPlastic pins (no screws!)HoseHose connector__Check out the Best Portable AC Units 2015 list to see what else made the Top 10.Written I have found them all about the same(not that great). I used to rent a house and the central air conditioner just wasn't enough.

A street facing window unit was out of the question. Therefore, I decided to try a portable unit with the "dryer" like vent.My ExperienceThe room was cooler. However, I experienced a lot of issues. Over a period of 2 summers, I purchased 4 different brands. I found the following to be true for all of them.Regardless of how quiet it says it is, it is going to be extremely loud.All of them leak like crazyThey never reach the desired temperature and had to run constantly to keep the room coolNot a very attractive addition to any roomWhy Purchase 4 Units?Every model I purchased started leaking at some point. I had one model that collected the water and when full you emptied. However, it still leaked. Another model was supposed to take care of the water itself and had a backup collection system. This unit also leaked.At the time, I went online and researched the subject and if other people were having problems with leaks. I found match after match of people with the same issue. There seemed to be no fix.

You could replace the unit. I did this too and it had the same exact problem.I finally purchased a hot water heater drip pan and placed under the unit. This collected the water, but it was a nightmare and I still ended up with major water damage.Living in Atlanta, Georgia, I wasn't sure if the high humidity caused problems or what. I finally abandoned the units.My RecommendationIf you can afford just a little bit more money, I would strongly encourage you to look into split systems. It's like a conventional unit, doesn't have any duct work to install, isn't that loud, doesn't need any venting and keeps the condenser on the outside.It has 3 parts. First, there is the inside part which hangs on the wall like a register or vent. Second, there is a small pipe and connection which runs outside. Finally, there is a small condenser on the outside.While more expensive, the price is not that much higher than most portable units.Written Not as cheap a window unit, but a split coil that’s indoor unit is wall mounted would be best.
