Portable Air Conditioners | The Home Depot By The Home Depot

Portable air conditioners are the largest growing segment of the room, air conditioning market and the Home Depot has the best feature best valued and best designed portable ac lineup. Before I talk about the specific units, let's briefly review portable ACS, these products have to be vented to an outside window. It's a simple process that only takes about 15 minutes. The customer simply opens their window and uses a window, installation kit provided in their unit. The number one reason customers return their portable ac is because they don't know that it needs to be vented most believe that they can just plug in their unit and begin cooling. Now, let's talk about how these units are different from window ac units.

First, portable ac units are easier to install. I can install one of these units by myself. I definitely could not install a larger window ac unit by myself. Another great benefit is that portable ACS can be installed in a variety of window types, unlike window units that can only be installed in standard windows. This gives customers with traditional or non-traditional windows the ability to cool their rooms.

Second, they are not only used as the primary air conditioning many people use these, even if their houses have central air. Let me give you an example. At night a customer may like a cool room, but not want to turn the thermostat down to the whole house with a portable ac. They can have that cool room without having to cool their entire house, saving them money and, finally, with portable ACS customers won't have a big unit hanging out of their windows blocking their view. Now, let's talk about the units we have for this season, you're going to love our 2012 assortment of portable ACS.
