Are portable ACs energy efficient?
Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) is a standard measure of efficiency for comparing appliances and the cost of operation. The higher the EER, the more energy efficient the air conditioner. The WA1200E has an EER of over 12, while the Soleus KY32U has an EER of 10. Any rating of 10 or more is excellent. By cooling only one room, portable air conditioners can save you a considerable amount of money on your monthly electric bill. All of the portable air conditioners that we carry operate on 115 Volt/60 Hertz (the normal household standard). They generally run on about 7-10 amps and require a regular, 3-prong grounded plug found in most homes.
