subject: Buying Guide For A Portable Air Conditioner [print this page] Do you find the study in your home getting too warm when summer comes along? Would you like to keep this small space cool without having to spend lots of money installing an air conditioning unit? If you would then think about getting some portable air conditioners. One of these units will be more than capable of producing enough cool air to bring the temperature in any room in your home down to a comfortable level.
Portable air conditioners as the name suggests are the kind that can be moved from one point to another easily because these units have casters on their base. So this allows you to easily roll them from one room into another and as a result when a particular room needs cooling the unit can be moved there with out any effort.
Furthermore when it comes to the installation of these types of air conditioning units there is no cost involved. Whereas if you choose to install the central air or wall mounted air conditioning systems that are available then you will need to arrange for construction work to be carried out. This is because the units are mounted on walls both internally and externally.
When it comes to the installation of these kinds of air conditioning units they come with a flexible hose measuring between 5 and 7 feet that must be put through a small opening in a window. Then the venting kit ensures that all hot air created by the air conditioner when creating cool air for a room is immediately vented outside. The length of hose that these units come with ensures that the units can be more centrally located rather than right against a wall or window as the other kinds.
As well as being able to maneuvre these units between various rooms in your home easily you will find that in comparison to say the more conventional systems such as the central air and wall mounted air conditioning systems available this type costs far less to run. The reason for this being that they don't need to use so much power as they are designed only to cool down one room rather than a whole house.
The first thing you will notice when you finally decide to purchase any portable air conditioners for your home there are many different makes and models to choose from. Many of these come with additional features. Some of them come with a system that not only keeps rooms cool in the summer but are capable of producing warm air so able to heat these rooms up when the weather turns colder. Also there are a few models around that are fitted with timers that allow you to control when they come on and go off. These ones are ideal for getting a room at a cool temperature prior to you coming home from work or just before you go to bed.
There are even some of these units that come with the facility to turn themselves off as soon as the desired temperature within the room has been reached. So of course this means that should you be using the units in a bedroom you don't have to worry about getting out of bed to turn them off each night. Therefore if you want a unit that cools rooms quickly and cheaply it is worth considering investing in some portable air conditioners.
