For many people who live in smaller homes or in apartments, a room air conditioner is the perfect device to provide cooling for their living quarters. Room air conditioners are fairly small units that can be mounted right within a window frame or can be installed through an exterior wall for venting. There are also portable air conditioning systems which use a flexible tube that goes to a nearby window for ventilation. The portable devices also have casters so they are easy to move to a different room if desired.

The purpose of air conditioning equipment for a room is to cool the air within a small, confined area and they are not intended to be used as a “whole house” air conditioning system. They are most often used in houses or apartments where people are renters; therefore, they are not permanently installed and can be removed and taken to a new location if the occupant moves.

Room air conditioner units have individual control panels mounted on them which gives the user control over the various functions of the unit. In most cases there are separate controls that set the desired temperature for the room and also set the speed of the fan that circulates the cooled air within the space.

Most people are not aware that room air conditioning units do not “technically” cool a room. It is more correct to say that room air conditioners remove the heat from the air and then moves it elsewhere to where the unit has been vented.
