Portable air conditioners – ideal for small premises

An air conditioning unit that can be moved with ease from one room to another to provide cooling is known as a portable air conditioner. Being stuck in a small, stuffy room when the weather warms up is an uncomfortable feeling that everyone wishes to avoid. Such a situation can easily be avoided, with the help of a portable air conditioner.

The major advantage of a portable air conditioner is that you don’t need a permanent installation. These units are mobile and are ideal for people living in rental apartments, workplaces or any other place where a traditional AC unit cannot be installed. Also, costs such as redesigning a window or breaking a wall are avoided, making a portable air conditioner the perfect choice.

Portable air conditioning units have a flexible hose running to a window or any other preferred outlet. The hose is connected to a venting kit and used to pass the hot air from indoors to outdoors. Generally, the hose is five to seven feet long, allowing the unit to be placed anywhere in a room, as needed, rather than being close to the window.

Portable air conditioners have a set of castors attached to the bottom which help in moving it with ease from one room to another. As they are used especially to cool a single room, they are highly energy efficient and the consumption of electricity is low.
