Increased Efficiency in Modern Portable AC Systems

It used to be that the only useful portable air conditioners we’re really portable. It’s nice to take your window unit with you when you move to another apartment, but it is a hassle to install each time. With a traditional window air conditioner, you have to worry about it dripping water and there isn’t much in the way of a decent filter inside. Even worse, they use a large amount of electricity and are very noisy. Luckily, these days there are some great alternatives to your tired old window unit.

Free standing air conditioning units are a great alternative to window units and central air conditioning systems. They’re great because they provide impressive space cooling while taking up a small amount of space and using less energy than conventional window AC units. They just plug into the wall and there is no need for access to the outdoors. Just drain the internal water receptacle on a regular basis. Another great feature of free-standing air conditioners is that you can take them to another room if you want to, allowing to cool only the room you are doing things in, which helps save even more money on energy costs since you won’t be wasting AC on unoccupied rooms.

There are also technologically advanced modern window mounted AC units on the market if you are stressed for space or would simply like to replace your current unit with a better one. Personally, I like my window space, but these can be a great option if a free standing unit does not meet your needs.

One thing that is great to look into if you are investigating in a new air conditioner is dehumidification and filtration capabilities. Many high quality modern AC units have this feature. I recommend choosing a model which features a filter that you can change and clean yourself. This allows for you to keep your AC unit clean and free of particulate matter, which will in turn keep the air it filters clean. This may be the most significant aspect of modern AC units in that you can cut down on possible health problems that might arise from wet, old and leaky AC systems.
