For the most part, the hoses that come with most portable ACs are poorly made, offering little in the way of durability and flexibility—let alone insulation. These hoses are typically made of polypropylene, a cheap type of plastic that easily tears, kinks, and scratches. Even one, tiny fissure in the walls of a hose can severely diminish the efficiency of your portable AC-unit—so the fact that the ductwork that comes with most portable ACs is vulnerable to this type of damage is harrowing. Thus, one of the best things you can do to enhance the efficacy of your portable AC is upgrade its hose. A portable-AC-hose replacement is not difficult to come by. And these options are often made with industrial-grade materials that will likely outlast your unit itself! For example, our HVAC Ventilation-Flex Duct is a cost-effective, insulated portable-AC-hose that is highly durable, flexible, as well as insulating. It features a PVC outer-wall that protects the hose from tears and abrasions. This outer-wall is also reinforced with a steel helix that spirals throughout the hose’s body. This flexible and compressible frame further enhances hose’s durability, significantly increasing its ability to resist crushes. The hose’s middle layer is composed mainly of PET film, a material well-known for its relatively unmatched insulating capabilities. While other hoses, like our HVAC Insulated-Flex Duct, might instead use glass wool as a middle layer, PET film offers similar degrees of insulation. And finally, portable-AC insulated-duct should feature a material such as aluminum along its interior. Aluminum is one of the best materials for lining the interior of an insulated hose for portable-air-conditioner applications because of the metal’s natural ability to reflect heat. Thus, both our HVAC Ventilation-Flex and HVAC Insulated-Flex Ducts—of course—feature aluminum interior-walls. In sum, if you find that your portable-AC hose is hot, it is more than likely that your hose suffers from poor insulation. The best way to remedy this issue is to obtain a high-quality, portable-air-conditioner exhaust-hose that has insulation features built into its design.
