Portable air conditioners can be very confusing.  We would all like to be cool in the summer rather than suffer the hot days and sticky nights, but how do you choose an air conditioner? 

Whether you call it an air conditioner, aircon, air conditioning or air cooling, it all amounts to the same thing:- reducing the temperature of the air.

In the shaded box below are some tips on what to look for and what to avoid.  Or if you know what you need then scroll down for links to our most popular units.  To calculate the size of air conditioner that you need download click here for our free Excel cooling calculator.

8,000BTU / 10,000BTU / 12,000BTU / 14,000BTU

We are often asked for an air conditioner without a hose to outside, for something that can just stand on its own.  All air conditioners need to have some sort of connection to outside.  Either a hose through a window or a wall, an umbilical pipe (about 2" squashed diameter) through a window or wall or a straight connection through the wall for a fixed unit.  All of these options are to make sure that the hot air is being exhausted outside.

The only units that do not have an exhaust to outside are the air coolers.  They use a water soaked pad to cool the air, but they must stand in front of an open window with a door or window open on the opposite side of the room.  The fresh air coming in through the window passes over the pad and picks up the moisture.  Air coolers are fine as long as the windows are open and the air is dry.  As soon as the air becomes humid (or sticky) their cooling power is reduced because the air absorbs less moisture from the pad.  They are also not particularly suitable for offices because the moisture could in theory condensate on the metal parts of computers overnight.
