“Portable air conditioners can be a saving grace for many hurricane victims without power,” commented Susan Schaffer, Marketing Director for Royal Sovereign. “All you need is a generator to power up the unit and a window to vent the exhaust, and you’ll have cold air blowing in no time.”
Royal Sovereign produces several series of portable air conditioners that can help keep Southerners cool and comfortable during blackouts caused by hurricanes. These portable units are rated from 9,000 to 12,000 BTUs, consume 680 to 1450 Watts of electricity, and retail from $250 to $600. Units can be purchased at Sears, Kmart, and Fry’s stores throughout the South, as well as online at Costco.com and HomeDepot.com.
Why a portable air conditioner?
After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, over six million people had lost electricity. And only a few weeks later, Hurricane Wilma slammed into South Florida, leaving another 6 million people in the dark…and in the heat.
With the 2008 hurricane season just around the corner, residents and business owners still have time to prepare for what will supposedly be a very active season.
