Maintaining a comfortable environment in a room or space without air conditioning can be challenging in warmer months. If installing a central air conditioning system seems like too big of a project, cool down with a portable air conditioner from Staples. Keep reading to see if this is the solution for you.
What Air Conditioners Are Available at Staples?
Staples offers free-standing, portable air conditioning units that offer hassle-free, stand alone cooling of a single space. Other options include wall or window mounted air conditioner units which are sturdier and a more permanent addition to the room. These can eliminate the need for a central air conditioning system or extensive ducts and equipment. Additionally, they provide much more cooling capability than regular fans for the office. With some options, you also have the flexibility to move or store them easily, in warmer seasons.
What Are the Main Types of AC Units?
What type of air conditioning unit is right for your space? There are two main styles to choose from, each with its own benefits. Read on to learn which style fits your needs.
Portable
Portable air conditioners can be moved from room to room on wheels and only need to be connected to a window and a wall outlet in order to run. They are very similar in form factor to many space heaters and offer a wide range of applications. They require no permanent installation to be used, and can be set up in a matter of minutes.
Window/Wall Mounted
Considered an ideal semi-permanent cooling option, window and wall-mounted air conditioning units are mounted in a window or in a cutout in a wall to provide unobtrusive cooling for a room. They require more setup but take up less space than portable air conditioners.
What Are the Benefits of Portable Air Conditioning Units?
Portable air conditioners are perfect for single rooms or smaller areas where a full central air conditioning system is unnecessary. They’re great for workshops, houses with no central AC and rooms that just don’t get cool enough.
They can usually be easily installed without help from hired professionals and can be used anywhere extension and power cords can reach and window access is available. Save money by only cooling the space you are using instead of a whole home or building.
How Does a Window AC Unit Work?
A window air conditioner is directly connected to a window or uses a removable window vent, in order to vent hot air to the outdoors while cooling the air in a room and distributing it. They use fans and cooling units to circulate chilled air around a room, while moving hot air outside.
