Facts About Portable Air ConditionersFacts About Portable Air Conditioners

If you live in a hot climate or a place where you cannot stand the heat during summer, buying a portable air conditioner is a good idea. It is convenient and movable, and it is perfect for use in living rooms, bedrooms as well as small apartments.

When picking one to use in your home, it is important to understand all facts. One of the things you will need to know about this device is its EER,


which is the energy efficiency ratio that will help you determine the efficiency of different models. The higher the EER, the more efficient the system is.

You will also need to establish whether the products that you are buying is a single hose or double hose model. They usually require at least one hose to allow them to exhaust the hot air that is usually generated by the compressor.


The main difference between the single and double hose models of portable air conditioning units is where the air intake comes from. Single hose models usually take the air from a room and circulate just like a window air conditioning system does.

The models on the other hand take air from outside the house through one hose and use the other hose to exhaust the heated compressor air.


You should also consider getting a portable air conditioner that has a heater since it makes it more convenient and valuable. But the heating capacity usually varies between different models depending on the type of heater that the unit uses.

There are some models that have a separate electric heater while others run the compressor in reverse so as to generate heat just like a central air conditioner's heat pump does.


There are some portable air conditioners that have built-in timers. You should look for those ones if you want to reduce costs. Just like a thermostat, you can program them to be on when you are at home or when you are about to arrive and to be off when you are not around.

By doing that, you will be preventing waste of energy and as a result your electricity bill will not be so high.


Go for portable air conditioners that have few BTUs as possible if you do not want to pay for cooling that you do not need. BTU, or British Thermal Unit, refers the capacity rating of the air conditioner.

The portable air conditioners usually come in different sizes to correspond with their intended use, for instance home use or office use. So you will need to choose one that is going to serve you efficiently.


Speaking of efficiency, it is important to know that moisture affects the operation of the portable air conditioners. Moisture is usually accumulated into water and taken directly into the drain tank.

The water is then used for cooling the condenser coils as it evaporates. But there are some Air Conditioners that have not been designed to use moisture, so you would be required to empty the tank while using it.
