Yes, some Toshiba 12,000 BTU portable air conditioners include a heat function, allowing them to work as both an air conditioner and a heater. Models with this feature are often labeled as “portable air conditioner and heater” or “4-in-1” models, combining cooling, heating, dehumidifying, and fan functions. If you’re unsure whether a specific Toshiba model has heating capability, check the product label or specifications.
Drain and take the drain plugs out and leave out when storing it for winter.( i painters tape them into the top of the unit when storing) Plus before storing the unit for winter run just the fan for 24 hours straight to dry out everything on the inside. I didn't do these 2 things and my old unit had mold in it like crazy.

greetings. How much water does a whole day of working or a whole night of working generate? I want to buy one but I'm worried about the water it generates because I'm going to place it in the living room of my apartment. Could you give me more information about that friend?
Mine didn’t either, found out it doesn’t heat up if it’s below 45 which it is for me. Here’s a copy and paste from their manual: Working temperature: 45°F ~ 95°F. Heating function will not work if the temperature is lower than 45ºF due to anti-freeze protection function.
@@TomLeeman Yeah but the intake sucks air from inside to cool the coil, that in turn makes the hot air blowing outside. A window unit uses outdoor air to cool itself where portable used indoor air
@@TomLeeman should've added if you use it on heat mode you will want a drain in the bottom drain port as that bottom section turns into the cold side when heating and so can't evaporate the water outside It should have a sensor when full it will switch the machine off
@@TomLeeman you bought the best one according to m research, you got the inverter tech which is the most energy eifficient AND you got the two hose system intake and exhaust, its also known as the Midea Duo which is the same thing as Toshiba duo
Bro you spent more time on the remote than the installation. You rushed through this video and didn't even use or even SHOW the foam insulation they give you for your window sliders or any of the three foam seals and in FLORIDA.
You definitely can use that foam on the window if you want that gives you a better seal or you could put painters tape around the edges. Good luck stay cool this summer.
Does this unit need to be vented outside when using heat mode?
I think it would be blowing the cold air out

Thank you for the info and thanks for watching. Stay cool this summer.

Those are excellent tips thank you very much. Stay cool this summer and thanks for watching.
Were you able to remove the mold?

I have a big room with a 20 foot ceiling. I wonder if I ll see a difference between the 8000 BTU or this 14000 BTU one
If it’s a large room, the bigger the better
@@TomLeemanNice 😉
Excellent tip thank you for the info. Our readers will appreciate that as well as me and thanks for watching.

It all depends on how humid it is where you live or in Florida so I have to check it every other day but if you were in Arizona, it would be different
Thanks for the info
Help its not heating :(
Did you buy it for heating or cooling
@TomLeeman for cooling but my heating gave out so I used this but it she's off after awhile

@@timkevin88 i tried putting it on dry for a couple minutes and then the heating will work for awhile
Also if this isn't a dual hose unit its going to suck cold air outside.
These are basically heat pumps once you put it in the window if you go outside and put your hand next to it, you can feel hot air coming out
@@TomLeeman Yeah but the intake sucks air from inside to cool the coil, that in turn makes the hot air blowing outside. A window unit uses outdoor air to cool itself where portable used indoor air
This is a dual hose system. See the two holes in the hose? one sucks cool air in and one blows hot air out.
@@kd1010163 Oh cool
There's no need to drain it its drain leads to the hot side and is simply evaporated outside
Interesting idea
@@TomLeeman should've added if you use it on heat mode you will want a drain in the bottom drain port as that bottom section turns into the cold side when heating and so can't evaporate the water outside

Sounds rusty.
@@DarthVader1977 rusty?
I heard these type of units aren't very efficient.
Lets just say they use a lot of electricity thanks for watching
Costs me $4 to run for 24 hours
