Have a Few Questions About Portable Air Conditioning?

Individuals who have purchased a portable air con don't know how they every lived without one. Not to mention, now spaces without windows can enjoy air conditioning as well! These units have the ability to bring cooling and comfort virtually anywhere.

The crazy for portable air conditioners began with a simple need. Large industrial spaces were looking for a way to keep their workers more comfortable so they would be more productive without paying the outrageous cost of installing and running central air conditioning. Portable units were invented to cool off areas where employees were working and they could be easily moved when needed to a different station. This is far more economical than cooling a large space, especially if only half of it is being used which is often seen in factories.

Technology Advances

While these units are still fairly new and were first designed to vent out through any size window, technology has gone even one step further now. Today, it is no longer necessary to have a window or a plug. There have been units invented that run on a 12-volt converter and are so incredibly compact that they are easily used in boats, cars and motor homes. You do have to keep their reservoir full but now individuals without air conditioning in their cars do not have to be sweaty and hot before they even get to work.
