What to consider before buying a portable air conditioner.
The most important thing is that you want to get the proper power rating for the area being cooled. Quite often, people purchase an air conditioner that will just barely meet their needs - unfortunately, if there is a heat wave or you want to cool a room that is already warm you will need more power.
After deciding on your portable air conditioner BTU rating, much of the decision comes down to your own preference. The number of exhaust hoses or if you want oscillating or fixed louvers are purely a matter of choice. Deciding which portable air conditioner you want depends on several factors, including the space being cooled, how long you intend to keep the portable air conditioner on at one time and whether there are dedicated personnel who are allowed to adjust it as needed. Some companies are concerned about noise levels as well and, therefore, pay special attention to the sound created by each portable air conditioner.
