Be Ready, Be Cool This Summer With Portable Air Conditioning

Jan. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Now is a good time to think about the coming summer months, in terms of what you will need if temperatures soar, in order to keep cool.  Most consumers have the mindset that a cooling apparatus can be purchased off the shelf and of course it can, but it is not advisable to do this, as there is more than meets the eye when it comes to purchasing air conditioning units.

A common term used to describe how much heating or cooling energy an appliance will generate is knows as a BTU or British thermal unit this is used to measure energy.  The higher the BTU’s in a portable air conditioner the more cooling power it generates.

When portable air conditioners are on your shopping list, it is best to know the size of a room, thus you can then easily determine what BTU conditioner will best meet your needs.  There is a huge variety of portable conditioners and when purchasing one has to consider that small spaces and less populated rooms maybe a unit with 8,000 BTUs is just right, but for larger or more populated spaces there is on offer 12000 going up to a massive 25000 BTUs.

A specialist in air conditioning is your first stop to get the best advice for the home or business, there are several factors that can increase or decrease the BTUs you will need to effectively cool your space.  

For example kitchens are particular warm areas, so you will need to consider buying a unit that is about 4,000 BTUs higher than one based on space alone.  So much to consider and take advice on, shaded areas reduce the BTU load as opposed to sunny areas, additional heat will need a higher BTU load, such as second story rooms, also think that the human body is a constant source of heat and believe it or not your BTU requirement should be increased by at least 500 BTU’s per additional person in the room.

There is a lot to consider when purchasing portable air conditioning units, and when you get it right, will be the perfect solution for those hot summer days, so simple come home after a hard day’s work and just switch on for instant cooling.

Many people are allergic to dust mites or mould, and if you can see condensation on windows, walls or floors, or smell a musty, mildew like odor in your home, it is time to consider using portable air conditioning, which will improve the indoor air quality during the summer months, just remember that some allergens, such as mould, can turn into a huge problem to solve if allowed to grow unchecked in your home, simply because excess moisture speeds the natural process of oxidation.

A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists based in Sussex on the South Coast of the UK said, “there is a lot to consider when purchasing portable units, we would advise the consumer not to just go to an outlet and buy off the shelves, go online and take a look as what we have on offer, check the specifications, ask us for advice on what unit will best suite your needs, We are in the business of all air conditioning and the potential customer can be confident when dealing with our company, we are professionals”.
