Can I use this with an air conditioner?

Assuming the AC does not draw more than 15 amps @ 110 volts AND it has a mechanical rather than an electronic on/off switch. If the on/off is mechanical and it is left in the on position, cutting power to the outlet will shut the unit down and restoring power to the outlet will turn it on. On the other hand, if the unit has an electronic switch, and it is turned off by cutting power to the outlet the AC will shut down, but restoring power to the outlet will,not restore power to the AC because of the nature of the AC's electronic switch which requires a touch to manually turn it on, which defeats the whole purpose of the outlet's ability to remotely control devices.

Specs on this outlet are "MAXIMUM LOAD OF Z-WAVE OUTLET: 600W 1/2 HP MOTORMAXIMUM COMBINED LOAD OF BOTH OUTLETS: 15A 1800W RESISTIVE"... you have to check the specs of your AC unit to make sure it doesn't overload the outlet...

I would say no because the air conditioning unit is made to sit partially outside, to blow out the warm air outside. If it was sitting on a shelf then it would be blowing cold air from one side and warm air from the other side, working against itself.

I purchased the KuulAire unit and found it to be USELESS to "air condition" anything. If you want an air conditioner that works get a conventional window unit or central air. It would be a joke to use it on a patio. You will not be happy if you purchase this unit!

Exhausting into the same room would defeat the purpose of running the air conditioner. It has a feature specifically for dehumidification, that can be shut off, but by running the air conditioner it will somewhat dehumidify anyway. Also, be aware that this unit is REALLY weak. It does not work very well, at all. Has difficulty cooling even a very small space. Window shaker style AC unit work much better.

I don't believe there is an option for A/C. However, the batteries last a long time, since you use it on the average of 10 minutes at a time.

It will not make make your existing unit work better. This unit is designed to defeat the minimum 65F temp rating of window air conditioners, allowing them to run to a cooler temp. It will not make a unit that cannot cool to 70F actually cool to 70F.

No. This is just a fan, not an air conditioner. It blows the air that is in the room around and works the same way every other fan works.

Yes. I don't have one yet but I understand you can use it for two or three nights no problem. There are 2 A/C outlets on the unit Three prong

It can be used in the home but will still only cool to the manufacturer's noted square footage. I do use mine in the garage where an A/C would not make sense because of the cost and cooling loss. I would only use it in the house for brief periods as it does add moisture into the air (making it more humid inside), would only drop the inside temp a little as compared to outside temps, and it is a bit loud for indoors. No complaints on its function in my garage where it has kept it very cool for the price. Hope that helps.

Yes, if you only are using it to control a furnance. However, I am aware that this unit also works with AC, however I have never tested for AC. We are pleased with the unit it is easy to program for heating purposes

I don't see any reason why not. Just be sure that there's plenty of clearance around the unit.It needs to breath AKA ventilation. The unit generates a little heat and that needs to be dissipated.

Yes ...cause you can use it on low and won't have to use the full power of the air conditioning unit... I went from a 8000 but to a 12000btu and on the hottest day its on low plus I keep it on Energy saving mode and I love it ;-) less stress on the unit = a longer usage :-)

Yes, I believe you can since you pump in the A/C adapter cord into the fan. This cooling fan works by batteries or the A/c adapter included.

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

Yes you can control an AC unit. Basically what this unit does is turn your AC on and off based on your temperature setting.

I would not recommend that. There is an inline control switch which may not handle the humidity well in a sauna or steam room.

The A/C unit can only operate on a 220 volt power source. A 110 volt is not an option.
