An air conditioner that is designed to be used in a single room is a self-contained device for cooling the space. Typically, these small room air conditioners are installed in a window area, but some people choose a slightly more permanent mounting by putting them through an exterior wall opening. They must be located in this way, with part of the unit being outside, in order to have the proper ventilation that is needed for correct operation.

Room air conditioners are often a good choice for renters, since they can be removed fairly easily and can be reinstalled in a new location. The drawback is that these small air conditioning units tend to be quite a bit less energy efficient than a central air conditioning system would be.

In order to make it easier for residential customers to save electricity during the summer, many local power and electricity companies have begun to launch a “BE COOL” campaign. This special campaign is aimed at promoting the purchase of the most energy efficient, room air conditioner units available.

In some areas, the local power companies are even encouraging the residents to trade in their old air conditioners and replace these less efficient units with Energy Star qualified room air conditioners. The “BE COOL” challenge winner will be the participating community that gets the highest percentage of area residents to take part in the campaign.
