Well, sometimes we have to change work office space decoration or change the decoration of our house! And it will be difficult to adjust between the air conditioner and the new decoration. Not only that, sometimes we have to sacrifice our lovely view from our windows to be used for the installation of a window AC unit. But don’t worry to those problems anymore, because there is a room air conditioning that can solve those problems. One of the recommendations is by choosing and buying room portable AC units! Generally standard units of them are ideally to be used for cooling small and medium rooms with 150 up to 30,000 square feet or more, depending on the size of the unit itself!

Room portable AC units have the unique feature that cannot be found in other conventional air conditioners! They are portable and mobile cooling device, lighter in weight, small and mini in size (so helpful on space saving). They also units that don’t consume high energy! Therefore, many homeowners choose them to be used to complement the existing central air conditioning system in order to save more energy and more money on paying the utility bills for every month! Although there are some reviews on internet say that they are less powerful than window units but as long as we use them for the correct size, they can work powerful enough to cool small and medium rooms of the house!

Although they are small, easy to move and usually have lower size of power cooling capacity, but they also have been already equipped with several modern features like regular air conditioning units in this modern living. Some of those features are: dehumidify air ability, come with two ways oscillating fan, remote control or manual choices, programmable thermostat & timers (setting how long the unit will keep running and when turn off automatically), etc. For the safety feature, most of them are already equipped with leakage current detection.

Like mentioned before, room portable AC units don’t have need the consideration of the window type and size for the installation! We just place the unit near the exhaust hose like window or door to get the proper air circulation to push the hot air and intake the fresh air from the outside of the house. They are also best choice of small AC units for apartments where usually don’t have adequate window to install window air conditioners. Overall they are windowless air conditioners.

What you should know before purchasing?

1. The first, we should consider the comparison size between the size cooling capacity of the unit and the sq-ft large size of the room that we want to cool. The size cooling capacity of units is usually rated by BTUs parameter. So far, at the lowest level is available in 7,500 BTUs that can cool room around 200-300 square feet (you may find the ones with 5,000 to 6,000 BTUs that usually designed to cool smaller rooms). And at the highest level is more than 30,000 BTUs that will be powerful enough to cool 2,000 to 2,500 square feet.
2. Consider the option of the mechanism on removing the water condensation! There are two popular types; with tray to collect the water (therefore you have to check the water tray regularly in order to make sure it is not over-flow) and with automatically evaporative technology that can remove the water automatically so thus there is not needed a manual assistance to make the unit work continuously!
3. Consider the energy efficiency ratings. Each brand usually offers some benefits and drawbacks. So consider, about this carefully. We can use the energy efficiency rating as the best guide to analyze how efficient the unit when working! We can prioritize choosing portable AC units that have higher level of SEER and also have Energy Star approval if the budget permits!

How to make room portable ac units more efficient with five simple steps below:

1. Choose the right place where to install the unit. We know well room portable ac is purposed to cool small-medium rooms. So don’t ever try to use them to cool larger rooms.
2. Then as possible to minimize the outside air sources! So it can be helpful to make the unit work not-hardly and finally will consume less energy!
3. Then position the unit at higher position level of the room. We can do it by placing the unit on the table or else. If you cannot do it (there is only one choice (on the floor) to position the unit), you can also use small fan unit to directly push the cool air to at higher position level of the room.
4. Please ensure that the vent mechanism is installed correctly, because it will influence the unit’s performance significantly.

Don’t forget to clean the air filter! Always read and use manufacture’s guidelines on how to properly use or operate and do the proper maintenance!
