subject: Portable Air Conditioners Can Offer Relief From Summer Temperatures [print this page] More and more homeowners are looking to air conditioning in the home; it is something that has been slow to the British consumer market, simply because the British weather is so unpredictable and in the past they have not seen the need to install any type of air conditioning in the home. However more consumers are looking at the portable unit which seems to be a great solution and the answer to hot summers.
Trying to keep cool in a hot summer is sometimes a problem, especially for our older generation, who seem to suffer in extreme heat, simply because older people have less sweat glands and as a result they sweat less, this of course is the human bodys way of cooling itself down, thus their body temperature gets overwhelmed by extreme heat resulting in heat induced illnesses.
A portable air conditioner can cool down a room in seconds, and helps to reduce body temperature quite dramatically; this of course is crucial not only for the elderly but also infants and those suffering from ill health and reduces the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Another problem in the long hot summer months is humidity, this has an impact on how the body manages to cool itself, and it is impossible to escape humidity without some form of air conditioning and portable air conditioning units tick all the boxes in terms of regulating temperature.
Portable air conditioning makes a cheaper alternative to fully installed systems and is also very cost-effective for any household budget, especially the elderly. These units are efficient to run easy to use and requires no installation what so ever, they can be used in any room in the house and can rapidly cool down the atmosphere within seconds.
There are many different types of portable air conditioners to choose from, not only a variety of different makes, but will offer various different features as well, if in the market for a portable, it is wise to research carefully so you can get one which meets your requirements perfectly.
The first and important thing to find out about these units is what their BTU (British Thermal Units) measurement is. A unit should have a BTU of at least 10,000 to be really effective at keeping a room cool during the hottest part of the summer.
Ideally the unit with a self-evaporating system is probably the best buy, this means that you dont have to spend time throughout the day having to remove the water that collects in the unit, and obviously the more time you spend on looking closely at what is available then the more chance you have of finding a system that you like also which meets your requirements perfectly.
A spokesman from Climachill air conditioning specialists located on the South coast of the UK said we stock a range of new generation portable air conditioning units for both commercial and domestic use, these units are friendly to the environment by re-using approximately 75% of the water it creates, thus the purchaser will hot have to empty the water tank as many times as a standard air conditioner.
