Do portable air conditioners work?
On One Hand: Portable air conditioners workPortable air conditioners work exactly as regular air conditioners do. They push warm air aside and replace it with cold air, making a room more comfortable. The only difference is that portable air conditioners do not need to be mounted in a window or a hole in the wall.On the Other: You do need access to the outsidePortable air conditioners require access to a place where air can be vented. Since the air conditioner is located entirely inside a room, its exhaust hose must either be snaked out a window or into a drop ceiling. Otherwise, you would be cooling the air only to replace it with hot air in the same room.Bottom LinePortable air conditioners achieve their main function, keeping a room cool. A portable air conditioner works just like its immovable cousin, but with the added benefit of portability.
