Benefits of Commercial Portable Air Conditioners

Commercial portable air conditioners are great for businesses and individuals that need a portable cooling solution. Most often commercial portable air conditioners are used in tent type set-ups, offices, manufacturing buildings, server rooms, garages and shops and for special events.

Permanent installation is not necessary with these A/C units and the option to wheel them in and out of areas quickly is possible. Let’s look at a few other benefits that commercial portable air conditioners offer.

Unlike permanently installed air conditioners, portable versions can be temporarily vented through a window, drop ceiling or wall through the use of an extendable hose. The portable versions make a great replacement for window type air conditioners. Using a commercial portable air conditioner is aesthetically more pleasing than a window unit because your view is no longer blocked, and you no longer have to worry about properly fitting the air conditioner into the window.

When purchasing a portable unit, check to see if the window bracket or discharge kit is included and that it is the correct size. If not, you will have to purchase this separately. Some models even allow the humidity that is removed from the air to be exhausted in the same way, instead of using a bucket that needs to be emptied.

Depending on the model of the commercial portable air conditioner that you have, it will operate by using water or air. An air-cooled unit does not require anything but the air in the room in order to effectively cool the area where it is located. These types of models have a refrigerant cooled system in them that works in the same manner as the air conditioning in a car. By not requiring water, the spot cooling units are lighter to move around and more convenient to use.

Most portable air conditioners have a dehumidification function built in to them. This feature will remove unwanted moisture from the air, which in turn, makes the air feel even cooler as well as decreases the chances of mold production and increases air quality.

For locations and events that do not have direct power available, a portable generator can be used to power the air conditioning units quite nicely. This is a huge benefit when you need cool air, but your location is a problem. You don’t have to let location dictate whether or not your customers or guests can be comfortable temperature-wise.

Commercial portable air conditioning units save money upfront. Since professional, permanent installation is not necessary, you will save on the costs of labor and supplies that you would otherwise have to pay. The operating costs of a portable A/C unit are also much lower than that of a permanently installed unit. Check the energy efficiency ratio of the unit to find out how much power it will use and how much money you will save.

Besides the benefits and features we’ve already discussed, when searching for a commercial portable air conditioner, look for a unit that will sufficiently cool the area it is intended for.
