Benefit of Using a Portable Air Conditioner

Portable air conditioners are designed for residential use in the home or other living spaces. They are the most effective when used in small spaces or when used for supplemental cooling or heating (on Heat/Cool models) in large spaces.

Benefits:

• Easy to install
• Good for locations where you cannot install a window unit, like sliding or casement windows.
• Portable design with casters (wheels) means the unit can be easily moved to a storage space or to another room.
• Allows you to cool a single space.
• Can provide supplemental cooling in large rooms, such as homes with central air but want more comfort in a single room.

When purchasing a portable air conditioner, consider your room size. We recommend sizing the air conditioner appropriately:

Air Conditioner  BTUs	Square Feet	Approximate Room Size
8,000 BTU	150-250 sq ft	10" x 20"
10,000 BTU	250-350 sq ft	15" x 20"
12,000 BTU	350-450 sq ft	18" x 22"
14, 000 BTU	500-600 sq ft	22" x 25"
