Advantages of a Small Portable Air Conditioner
A small portable air conditioner has some advantages over large portable ones and large central systems.
In case you live in an apartment or your house is not that big, it would be much more practical to have a small unit installed, and due to their ease of mobility, moving them around would not a problem. In addition, they are energy-efficient and less expensive as compared to large window and central units.
Furthermore, a small portable air conditioner is excellent for larger homes which have a large window or central AC unit. The upper floors in older homes sometimes do not receive the same temperature like the rooms in the main floor. So, this is an excellent idea to install a portable air conditioner upstairs, particularly since majority of people sleep upstairs (which is by the way pretty obvious).
Here are some small portable AC units I would recommend for those people who are thinking of buying one:
The first on our list is the Koldfront 8,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner. What I love about this product is that it is energy-efficient (you can set it to run only when you need to cool off), has an ultra compact design (you can fit and store it anywhere since it is only 2 ft. high), all year round versatility wherein it can dehumidify the room when AC is not needed, features a self-evaporative system (there is no need for you to empty water since it has an automatic drain exhaust system).
Another small portable air conditioner that I like is the Sunpentown WA-7500M 7,500 BTU model. This product is ideal for small areas of up to 200 square feet. It has 2 fan speeds, directional air flow louvers, 8-hour timer, built-in water tank for constant water drainage, washable air filter, activated carbon flter to help get rid of odor and a self-evaportating system as well.
Last on my list is the EdgeStar 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Heater. This product features a programmable thermostat that can be displayed either in Celsius or Fahrenheit and a heater functionality that you can use throughout the year. It also includes a window kit with an exhaust hose that can be extended up to 49 inches, 1 replaceable carbon filter and washable pre filter.
So, there you have it! You can do some research online for small portable air conditioner units if you want to. Just make sure to take the time in shopping around in order to find one that will suit your needs best.
