In some situations a portable air conditioner is the only possible option. For instance, sometimes there are restrictions by landlords and home associations or permits are required for installing air conditioning systems. Modifications to buildings may be required and for other various reasons like esthetics and energy costs property owners and associations may not approve of ac system installations, including window AC’s. Then there’s some places like basements having narrow windows or rooms with bay windows where a window ac also isn’t an option. In these cases the portable air conditioner comes to the rescue.

The portable air conditioner is great for much more than just a last resort option though. There are numerous situations where a portable air conditioner serves best or offers cooling where no other type of ac’s can.
