Do You Need a Portable Air Conditioner? 

Portable air conditioners are great alternatives for people who can't install window units in their apartments or homes. With a portable air conditioner, you don't need to have any modifications or do any type of work on the wall or window. It's the most convenient way to be comfortable on those hot summer days. Take it out of the box, plug it in, and you have a cool room. Not only is this convenient and easy, but portable air conditioners are very affordable. Costing only a couple of hundred dollars, they require no expenses for professional installation and are more cost effective compared to traditional window units and by far cheaper than central air conditioner prices. There's a couple of different kinds of units but below are the main kinds that will be explained.

Types of Portable Air Conditioners

Single Hosed Units: Portable air conditioners require a venting system connected to a hose to operate. A single hosed unit has just one hose running from the air conditioner to the vent kit (placed by a window) to release the hot air.

Double Hosed Units: The most popular unit is a double hosed unit. The hoses lead to a venting kit attached to the window and one hose serves to bring in air from outside to cool while the second hose is to release the hot air outside. These types of units are more efficient and have better cooling power along with being better for larger rooms.

Heat and Cool Units: Some portable units offer both a heating and cooling option. Heating works in the same process but reverse. Cold air is being pushed out through one hose and warm air is going in the room. These types of units are not meant for being a primary source of heat or cooling but as an add on.

Units with Dehumidifier Functions: Some portable units have dehumidifier functions. All portable air conditioners release some moisture into the room through the exhaust room so some units have the dehumidifier mode that expel that moisture through the exhaust hose.
