A right air conditioner can make a huge difference in a hot day. As the weather is heating up, AC Companies are ready with their coolest collection of ACs. Haier is such a company which is ready with their portable air conditioners. But first of all, a question comes in mind that what is portable air conditioner?

What is portable air conditioner?

Portable air conditioners are great for use in bedrooms, offices and other small rooms. These air conditioners are set on casters which allows them to be easily rolled from room to room as needed. These air conditioners must be vented out of a window so the hot air is released. The window exhaust kit included with Haier models makes this process so quick and so simple.

And one more most important thing; ENERGY STAR® qualified units of portable air conditioners use about 10% less energy than the conventional models. So we can say that portable air conditioners are perfect option where the local cooling is required.

Now the point comes to size. What should be the size of my portable air conditioner? So lets take a look at the sizes of portable air conditioners and which size will suit your needs:

Which size of air conditioner is right for my room? In the following table, I’m representing that which size of portable air conditioner will fit your needs. Take a look at this-

BTUs                                              Sq Ft                      Approx. Room Dimenssions

8,000/                                       150 – 250/                                      10′ x 20′

10,000/                                    250 – 350/                                      15′ x 20′

12,000/                                    350 – 450/                                      18′ x 22′

14,000/                                   400 – 500/                                      18’ x 25′

Also keep in mind that if more than two people occupy a room, then add 600 BTU’s for each additional person. If the room is too sunny, increase BTU’s by 10%. On the other hand if the room is shaddy, decrease BTU’s by 10%. If the unit is for a kitchen, then simply add 4000 more BTU’s in the unit. Thats it! Have a happy season!
