Are Mobile Air Conditioner worth the hype ?

Air conditioners have been in use for a long time now. But mobile air conditioners are relatively new to the market.

A mobile air conditioner, as the name suggests, is a type of air conditioning system that can be moved from one location to another as needed with ease on wheels. It is different than other types of air conditioner because it can be installed permanently or temporarily. Temporary installation makes it possible to cool areas with high heat indexes for events such as concerts, sporting events, and festivals.

Mobile air conditioners can be found in many places, including homes, offices, or vehicles. They are generally used in places where there is not a lot of room for a conventional air conditioning unit.

They also work well in places where the temperature fluctuates often, like construction sites, or where you need to set up an air conditioned environment quickly.

How does a mobile air conditioner work?

You may be wondering how a mobile air conditioning unit works?

Well, a mobile air conditioner works like a standard air conditioner or cooling system. It uses a specialized chemical called refrigerant, and has three main mechanical components: a compressor, a condenser coil and an evaporator coil.

These components work together to quickly convert the refrigerant gas to liquid and back again. The compressor raises the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas and sends it to the condenser coil where it is converted to a liquid. The refrigerant travels back indoors and enters the evaporator coil. Here the liquid refrigerant evaporates and cools the indoor coil.

A fan blows indoor air across the cold evaporator coil where the heat inside the home is absorbed into the refrigerant. The cooled air is then circulated throughout the home while the heated evaporated gas is sent back outside to the compressor.

The heat is then released into the outdoor air as the refrigerant returns to a liquid state. This cycle continues until your home has reached the desired temperature.

Are mobile air conditioners worth the hype?

Speaking with years of experience not only as a dealer in air conditioners, but also as a company that provides air conditioner maintenance, yes, they are worth the hype.

If you don’t want to spend a lot on an AC installation, then you should consider a mobile air conditioner instead. There are many benefits to using one in your home.

▪ Mobility: The main benefits of using mobile air conditioners are their mobility. It is easy to transport from one space to another and can keep a room cool without any side effects like the ones that regular air conditioners have.

For instance, you can use the mobile AC in your bedroom at night and move it to the sitting room during the daytime. You do not have to buy two air conditioners in the two rooms. That will even help you save more money.

▪ Takes up a little space: If you live in an apartment or condo and have limited space, then this is the perfect option for you. A mobile AC unit does not need duct work which means that it will not take up much space in your living room.

▪ Efficient and cost-effective: These units use less electricity than traditional AC systems and they usually run on electricity rather than gas or propane which will save you money on your next bill. They are extremely efficient and can be used in any climate.

▪ Requires little-to-no maintenance: Mobile ACs require little or no maintenance because. They are easy to install because they do not need a window or ductwork. You can simply clean them with a dry piece of cloth, and they are good as new. You can contact us if you have any issues.

▪ Relatively affordable: The prices of the mobile air conditioners are relatively affordable because they do not come with different external components or require other installation elements.

▪ It gives you access to your windows: For apartments with only a few windows, blocking the only source of natural light with a chunky window unit could be a non-starter. Mobile air conditioners also allow you some flexibility about where you place the unit to work with the traffic flow in your room. Window units, not so much.

▪ It is ready to use right out of the box: You do not need any help installing a mobile air conditioner — or a friend to help you lift it into place in your window. This means you do not have to drill holes in the wall and pay installation fee.

You will not even need any tools if you get a handy window kit to fit the exhaust hose in place with your window a few inches ajar. All you must do is plug it in to beat the heat.

As they say, nothing is perfect. Mobile air conditioners also have disadvantages too. Some of these disadvantages include:

▪ Less efficient compared to regular ACs: Mobile air conditioners are not as efficient as regular ACs. Mobile ACs will generate less power than a regular one which means it will take more time to cool down the environment.

▪ Produces Much Noise: If you cannot concentrate on whatever you do when there is noise, the mobile AC may not be an ideal option. These ACs are known to produce a lot of noise compared to their counterparts.
