How does a portable air conditioning unit work?

Simply, a portable air conditioning unit works by pulling hot and humid air from a room into the unit. In the case of hot air, the unit cools the air and in the case of humid air, the unit extracts the moisture.   The air is then guided through a duct or a hose out of the window.  Our portable air conditioning hire includes delivery, installation and a demonstration of how to operate your new unit.

Factors that will affect how effective the portable air conditioning unit is

Firstly, and perhaps most obviously, the weather – the hotter it is outside the harder your portable air conditioning unit has to work, so it’s helpful to have a well-insulated room and, if it’s appropriate, you can help to keep the heat at bay by closing blinds or curtains to block the sun out.

Size matters when it comes to a portable air conditioning unit so it’s important to make sure that the unit has enough cooling power for the size of the room, otherwise it may not be as effective.  This is something that we will guide you on if you choose Eesi portable air conditioning hir

A cost effective cooling solution.

For homes and smaller offices that don’t require constant or extensive cooling, a portable air conditioning unit can be a cheaper alternative to a wall mounted or central air conditioning system.  With a portable air conditioning unit you can just cool the areas that you require and potentially save energy and money on cooling rooms that are rarely occupied or used.

The clue is in the name – ‘portable’ air conditioning unit.  Although it’s important to be mindful of the differences between rooms, unlike a wall mounted unit, you can move your portable air conditioning unit from room to room with relative ease, which – like we mentioned above – means you can just cool the areas that you require and potentially save energy and money on cooling rooms that are rarely occupied or used.
