A portable air conditioner can be used to create extra comfort in an otherwise uncomfortable space. Whether you have a large home and only need to cool one room, or you live in an area where air conditioning isn’t necessary most of the time, you can find a unit that fits your needs. Here’s a quick look at some of the types of portable air conditioners available and what they do.
Standard Portable Air Conditioners
A standard unit will serve to cool the air only. You can find units that will cool spaces as small as 200 square feet, or as large as 600 square feet. These can be great to use in smaller workshops, garages, or other spaces that aren’t typically vented with a standard HVAC system. The variety of these units on the market is vast. You can find units as low as $200, and as high as $1000. Some of these portable air conditioners can be positioned on the floor, or in a window. Many feature remote controls, temperature control settings, and timers.
Combination Heat and Cool Air Conditioners
Another excellent option for workshops and garages, the combo portable units will allow you to heat or cool. This means you can have year round comfort for the area in question. The heat and cool units work by simply reversing the process depending on which temperature option you choose. The heating function is designed to be used as a supplement, and will not be efficient in areas where the temperature can fall below 50 degrees. Many of the same options such as remotes, timers, and temp settings can be found with these as well.
Dehumidifier Options
If you live in an area that is already humid, or you are using your portable air conditioner in an area where humidity builds quickly (such as small workshops, laundry rooms, or near kitchens) choosing a unit that has a dehumidifying option is a good solution. While in dehumidify mode these units will remove a lot of the moisture from the air and expel it through an exhaust hose. The hose can be vented out of a window easily.
