When it’s hot, portable air conditioners are great. This guide tells you all about them.
Portable ACs are standalone units. They cool by extracting heat and venting it out. The size and BTU rating matter.
The benefits? They’re versatile, easy for renters. Energy-efficient with savings on bills. Have dehumidifiers and air purifying filters.
There are four types: Traditional (single-hose), dual-hose (better for large rooms), evaporative (good in low humidity), and hybrid.
To choose, consider room size, BTU capacity, and energy efficiency. Measure the room. Small rooms need 8,000 – 10,000 BTUs. Medium ones need more.
Maintenance is important. Clean/replace the filter often. Check the drainage. Ensure the exhaust hose is okay.
Portable ACs are essential. Understand them to make a good choice. They offer comfort and savings.
