Portable Air Conditioner Vs Window Air Conditioner

Window air conditioners and two hose portables are much better.

Portable air conditioner vs window air conditioner.

That s because window air conditioners are usually much quieter than portable air conditioners. Portable air conditioners are usually around 100 more expensive than window air conditioners of the same cooling capacity. Also because portable air conditioners are generally larger and start at a higher btu h they will be more expensive than window units with a lower btu h. The fact that a window air conditioner uses a compressor that is situated outside the room should in theory make them quieter.

For the most part when it comes to portable ac vs window ac the window units win. The replenishment air will come from any area of the house with an air leak making that part of the house even hotter and more humid than if you didn t have the portable running at all.
