A window or wall mounted air conditioner is usually permanently installed for cooling a specific room; it does not take the brain of Britain to figure out the benefits of portable air conditioners.
Portable air conditioning unitscan be so versatile; also can be relocated in minutes to another room that needs cooling. There is so much on the market, some units can dehumidify, air purify or heat, while others are simply cooling units.

For some homes that do not need the hassle of installing a split or central system, or more importantly just cannot afford the expense, a portable air conditionercan be the perfect choice, with built in wheels enabling it to be moved from room to room that is in use and needs cooling.
Portable air conditionerscan have a host of features depending on the model you finally settle on after shopping around. Electronic controls make the unit easy to set; remote control adds convenience especially at night. Everyone is driven to save energy and some portables offer a sleep or energy saver mode, thus keeping the room comfortable while saving energy costs.
Other benefits some portable air conditioningunits offer is auto-restart in a power failure, a high EER will save in energy costs, programmable or delay start settings which of course are ideal for having the room cooled before you return home.
There are many types of air conditioning for example window-mounted units, which are very popular in the USA, wall-mounted unit which does require some renovation work, split ductless or mini air systems which can be less intrusive that a full central unit, or of course the portable which is a mobile unit that exhausts hot air through a connection out of a window.
A portable air conditioner will save you about 30% less in energy costs, but you should consider the EER rating. Air conditioners that have been certified by a proper governing body do carry an energy efficient rating (EER). The higher the number the less in operating costs, for example an air conditioner with an EER rating of 11 will cost less to operate than one with a rating of 6.
When shopping around for a portable unit you need to decide on capacity to cool a certain coverage area. You will find that manufacturers usually provide recommended coverage for a given model, thus buying a unit that is ‘fit for purpose’ to cool that particular area is very important.
Measure the area before you shop there are recommended BTU’s for a given cooling area from consumer reports, under-sizing may be inadequate and on the other hand oversizing for a room, you will be paying for something you may not need.
A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists located on the South coast of the UK said “we have many portable air conditioners in stock and deliver all over the UK. We of course can advise potential customers of room size and the BTU for that particular area, when you find the air conditioner you want we can confirm the coverage area for the unit. If at the end of the day you decide to choose a more permanent fixture we can also take care of that”.
