Efficient Portable Air Conditioners | Custom Air System Skip to main content

 

Did you know over half of all utility bills are caused by heating and cooling costs? Air conditioning is a marvel of modern science. But they also can wreak havoc on your electric bill just to keep you comfortable during the summer months. There are many different styles of air conditioners to choose from including central air, split air conditioners, window AC units, and portable AC units.

Both central and split air conditioners are relatively expensive, and window AC units are awkward to install and difficult to move. If you need something that is easy to move from room to room, a portable AC unit is a good choice. But just how efficient are these units?

How Efficient Are Portable Air Conditioners

Portable air conditioners can be a cost-effective way to cool your home. They are relatively cheap to purchase and can save you hundreds of dollars per year on your electric bill. But what makes them so much more efficient than a window or split unit?

1. You can move it. Central and split air conditioners are not only expensive to set up, but they are super pricey when it comes to energy. This is because they are working to cool your entire home. With a portable AC unit, you can move it from room to room relatively efficiently and save money by not cooling the rooms you aren’t using.

2. You have better control over the temperature of the room. Unlike with central AC, you don’t have to turn the thermostat down ten degrees to cool down your living room when you’re in your bedroom. You can simply move the portable air conditioner to the room in which you need it.

3. You can get just the right size unit. You can save even more on your utility bills by getting the right size portable air conditioning unit. A unit that is too big will use too much energy and increase your monthly bill, and one that is too small won’t be able to cool anything efficiently.

4. If you have an older home, this is a much more affordable option than central air conditioning. Some older homes don’t have the ductwork necessary for central air conditioning, which can make it much more expensive to install. A portable air conditioning unit can be just as effective at a fraction of the cost.
