Sizing

When it comes to the correct size of portable air conditioners for your home, power consumption vs. the size of your room is what you should be focusing on. A portable air conditioner's power output is rated in kilowatts (kW); therefore, the bigger area that you need for cooling or heating, the more kilowatts you'll require. This is an important direction to follow; otherwise your machine will not perform correctly.

To work out a suitable portable air conditioner for you, you will need to measure the intended floor space in cubic metres and generally require 145 watts for an average sized room. If you are still unsure, please don't hesitate to call your customer service team on 1300 000 500.

Features

Portable air conditioners not only offer a cooling system but some models come with reverse cycle. This is when they can both cool down or warm up your space. This option is a great and affordable solution so you don't have to buy a separate heater for the winter. Some models can also offer a dehumidifier system, air purifiers, and fans. These features help decrease indoor pollutant levels. This kind of adaptability means portable AC units can provide comfort in a variety of environments.

Some portable air conditioners also include features such as a condenser which removes excess heat, a drip or non-drip air conditioning, which either expel excess water into a drain bucker or recycle excess moisture by evaporating it back into the air. These portable units run a compressor which generates heat. This heat is then pumped out the window ducting kit that is supplied.
