Portable Air Conditioner

Portable air conditioners are independent, movable units with exhaust hoses that are easy to install and vent out of a variety of window types.Portable air conditioners are usually around $100 more expensive than window air conditioners of the same cooling capacity.The noise levels of portable air conditioners vary, with some models being as quiet as a fan and others being as noisy, if not noisier, than a window air conditioner.In the U.S., there are no federal regulations to define the energy efficiency of portable air conditioners, and so no portable air conditioner is given Energy Star ratings. However, EER ratings can be used to determine efficiency.Water is collected in a tank or tray and has to be emptied regularly.
