Staying cool in the summer months can be a challenge. It can be especially difficult if you’re also trying to keep your energy consumption low all year round. Fortunately there are newer options to consider, such as a mini portable air conditioner. If you’re unfamiliar with this type of device, reviewing the following advantages of this type of unit may be helpful.
Get Around Regulations
Depending on where you live, you may be restricted from getting certain types of cooling systems for your home. For example, some apartment communities and homeowners associations have rules against installing large window units. In that case, a smaller portable AC unit can help you cool your home without violating those regulations.
Take it With You
When you own a portable AC unit, you don’t have to worry about cooling your entire home all at once. Instead, you can cool your living room as you relax and watch TV. When it’s time for bed, simply roll the AC unit into your bedroom and set it up there for the night.
Keep it Out of the Way
A mini portable air conditioner is also easy to store when it’s not in use. You can store it in a closet or cubby until it’s needed. Even when it is set up to start cooling your living space, it will take up very little room. You can set it up in a corner or against a wall near a window and forget that it’s there.
