Pitfalls
What makes them hesitate
- Most local HVAC companies do not repair portable air conditioners because the labor cost often exceeds the price of buying a brand-new unit.
- Paying a technician a standard service fee, such as a $150 dispatch or diagnostic fee, for a portable AC unit usually costs more than a replacement unit.
- Portable AC units can be heavy, with a 14,000 BTU version weighing around 68 lbs, which may make them difficult to transport.
