Portable Air Conditioners and Their Benefits


It may be winter now but those sweaty 90+ degree days are right around the corner. Are you ready? An alternative to Window or Central Air conditioner is the Portable Air conditioner.

Portable Air Conditioners have been around awhile but are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their energy efficiency, versatility, convenience, and design.

The following are some benefits of Portable Air Conditioners:

Appeal: Today's Portable Air conditioners come in designer colors with attractive appliance-like features that blend harmoniously with modern room interiors. They sport compact footprint, and low profile appearance that does not take up too much interior space.

Affordability: They tend to be more affordable than their window cousins but its worth noting that the high-end portable units will cost more than their low-end window cousins.

Ease-of-Use: Some units come with remote controls so you can operate them from the comfort of your favorite sofa. Some sport LED screen and electronic control panel with auto shut-off function.

Portability: This is the ability and ease to move them from one location to the other. With their built-in handles and casters, Portable Air Conditioners can provide cool air wherever you need it. Simply roll the unit (some of them are light weights) to the room you need the cool air.

No Installation: With some units, minimal or no installation is necessary. You do not need a professional installer. No need to knock out a hole in the wall or deprive yourself of the use of a window. Some Portable Air conditioning units feature new auto drain technology that removes excess fluid build up and eliminates the need to drain the unit thus allowing continuous use of the unit

Cost Effectiveness: By cooling only specific areas as needed (as opposed to central air conditioning units that cool the entire house), you achieve a true energy efficiency. The spot cooling results in lower operational costs and saves you money.

Healing Function: In addition to cooling the air, Portable Air Conditioners also dehumidify it. This is an added bonus to allergy sufferers who need to keep indoor levels of humidity low so as to prevent growth of allergens like mold or dust mite. Portable Air Conditioners also come with long lasting and washable filters that provide added health benefits by filtering the air.

Dual Personality: Some Portable Air Conditioners come with built-in heaters so the unit can be used year round thus, providing you more bang for your buck.
