How to choose an air conditioner
Portable, portable split and window units
A standard portable air conditioner vents warm air through a single hose to a window, a portable split system separates the noisier compressor outside for quieter indoor operation, and a window unit sits within the window frame itself.
Cooling capacity (BTU)
Cooling capacity is measured in BTU; larger rooms, higher ceilings and rooms with significant sun exposure generally need a higher BTU rating, so check the manufacturer's recommended room size rather than choosing on price alone.
Evaporative air coolers
Evaporative air coolers cool air by passing it over water-saturated pads, using less energy than compressor-based air conditioning, though they work best in drier climates and cool less aggressively than a true air conditioner.
Heating function
Some portable and split units include a heating mode alongside cooling, which can add year-round usefulness if you want a single appliance for both jobs.
Installation and venting
Most portable units need an exhaust hose vented through a window or wall gap, so check what fitting kit is included and whether your window type suits the supplied venting method.
FAQs
What BTU air conditioner do I need for my room?
This depends on room size, ceiling height, sun exposure and insulation; check the manufacturer's recommended room size in square metres against your own room before choosing a BTU rating.
Do portable air conditioners need to vent outside?
Yes, most portable air conditioners need an exhaust hose vented through an open window or a wall gap to expel warm air, so plan for this before installing one in a room without easy window access.
Are evaporative air coolers as effective as air conditioners?
Evaporative coolers can be effective in hot, dry conditions and use less energy, but they don't reduce humidity the way refrigerant-based air conditioners do, so they tend to be less effective in humid climates.
