Best Things to know before buying a Portable AC (Air conditioner)

Do you really need it?

If you are not able to go with the conventional types of AC (like; split and window) then it is the only option for you.

Why?

It has a compact unit. The compressor and condenser which rejects the heat to the surroundings and evaporator which takes the heat from the surroundings and makes the air cool both are in the same place basically in the same room.

But there is a duct for taking the heat outside of the room !!!

Yes! But as per the heat-generating unit is inside the room, some of the hot air is mixed with the room air and the maximum portion of the duct is inside the room so heat may be mixed into the cooled air of the room through it. Although no proper thermal insulation in the outlet duct as per the split type of ac.

It makes noise?

You may encounter a noise but not heavy noise. It is under considerable limits.
