With the hottest part of the summer now arriving, this is a great time to explore home cooling options. Many homes, however, are poorly suited to window mounted air conditioning units, and central air systems can prove too expensive for homeowners on a budget. Fortunately, US Air Purifiers offers a wide array of portable air conditioner options for just such situations.
 What is a Portable Air Conditioner?
Many first time buyers have a slight misconception about portable air conditioners. While the units are comparatively small and can easily be moved from room to room, they still do need to be vented to a window. This is done by running a corrugated plastic hose to any window and securing it there with an adjustable plastic bracket. Once set up in this manner, a portable air conditioner can be used to effectively cool a space that does not have the ability to accommodate a full sized window unit.
Aside from the method of venting and their ability to be moved from one room to the next, portable air conditioners operate on the same principles as their more permanent counterparts. Like other air conditioners, they come in a wide range of different cooling capacities and offer many different features.
