5 Reasons Portable Air Conditioners are Gaining Popularity!
Since the recession has hit alot of folks hard over the past year or two, alot of people are choosing to purchase a Portable Air Conditioner this year, versus replacement of the central ac system they have used for years. This post examines why their has been a sudden surge in Portable AC Sales as well as the benefits and disadvantages of going Portable!
5 Reasons Portable AC Systems are Gaining Popularity!
1 - Easy to Move from Room to Room!
Just about every portable AC on the market today comes on a set of wheels, making it very easy to move from room to room, or even out into the garage! If it doesn't have wheels, you can get a set of casters or a large indoor potting plant roller kit, and instantly, its very portable!
2 - Inexpensive When Compared to a Replacement Central AC!
You can find a 12000 BTU (that's one ton) portable air conditioner relatively inexpensive on the web! I have seen them as cheap as $50 for clearance unit on the portable air conditioner auction page! With just 2 or 3 of these in your home, you could completely eliminate a central AC unit, or at least defer several thousands of dollars in cost, until a better time!
3 - Large Enough to Cool Several Areas of the Home!
Large Portable AC units are in the +12,000 btu range now! That means more than 1 ton of cooling, in a box the size of a small kitchen rubbish can! Most average size homes in the US, (1600 sf) could get by with 2 of these units knocking the edge off the entire house!
4 - ANYONE Can Install a Portable AC!
As anyone who has tried to install their own central ac system knows, Contractors have the market cornered and can charge you whatever they want... Twice as much when its 95 degrees outside! With a Portable AC Unit, you simply open the box and plug it in! Done and cooling within 15 minutes of getting it!
5 - Anyone Can Buy a Portable Air Conditioner!
You don't have to have a license to buy a portable AC system! OK, truth be known, you don't need a license to buy a central system either, but the portable systems are much easier to get locally as well as on the web. Try walking into your local HVAC supply store and buying a central ac system!
