Portable Room Air Conditioners

If you want to cool one or two rooms, a portable air conditioner is your most economical choice. It's obvious these AC units cost thousands less than a central air conditioning system, but did you know a room AC unit is also cheaper for everyday use? The key to cooling efficiently is selecting the the right strength room air conditioner.
