Are you looking for air cooling appliances that can be installed more easily and practically? And are you looking for units that can work more efficiently than your existing central air conditioner system? There are available some choices but portable air conditioners are increasingly popular at this time! Why you should choose them? What are the advantages?
Portable air conditioning units are also familiar called as 'mobile AC units' which can be moved, carried, or reinstalled more easily, even can be used more practically than window AC models. We can move them from one room to other rooms of our house practically and easier. We don't have to pay the extra costs for the installation like when installing central AC system.
They are perfect choice if you live in small apartment where usually the space is so valuable and you don't have adequate space to install window AC unit or central AC unit! In addition, there are many homeowners who use portable air conditioners to complement their existing central air conditioner systems. Overall, they are great idea if you want to push down your high energy bill.
What else that you should know about portable air conditioners:
1. Choosing the right size is so important to ensure they can work optimally and efficiently. There are some people who have opinion "bigger size is better"! But it is absolutely wrong! Don't use over size or lower size! The size of the unit should meet to the large space of the room. Some popular sizes of them are; around 5,000 BTU - 7,000 BTU - 14,000 BTU, and 60,000BTU.
2. The big drawback of them is the noise. But there are now available the ones that come with split design. These models can work more noiseless.
3. Like other general air conditioners, they also produce an amount of water condensation which usually is used to cool the unit itself and the rest must be removed. If you want more practical option then units that come with 'automatically-evaporative technology' are more recommended. These types are usually able to drain the rest of water condensation automatically.
4. Then, based on the hose mechanism, they are consisted into two models that are 'mono-block hose' and 'air to air'. And if you want to use a unit that can run continuously without requiring human assistance to remove the moisture then one that comes with 'air-to-air' is more advisable!
5. Getting the best result, it is better to choose and use a portable air conditioner that has higher value of SEER and Energy Star approval! Don't forget to check the air conditioner filter at least once a month (it depends of the quality of the filter itself and the level of air pollution in your local area).
