Are you tempted to stay cool all year round without breaking the bank? Every year, during heat waves, French households are looking for household appliances that allow them to cope with the heat and obviously gain comfort and freshness. A very interesting alternative to conventional wall-mounted air conditioning (often expensive and tedious to install), mobile air conditioning is attracting the interest of more and more French people because of its good value for money and practicality. And for good reason: mobile air conditioning does not need to be installed by a professional.

Are mobile air conditioners efficient?

Mobile air conditioners allow you to avoid the usual inconveniences of hot weather while being affordable. Despite their controlled costs, mobile air conditioners are quite effective in cooling your home. Mobile air conditioners, which come in several models, offer different features. To be sure to make the right choice, you must calculate the room in which you would like to install the mobile air conditioner in cubic meters (m3) and not in square meters (m2). Next, it is necessary to check the volume that the envisaged mobile air conditioning can cool. Note that the power is expressed in British thermal unit (Btu), the unit used worldwide for air conditioners. It is also important to note that mobile air conditioners have differences in efficiency depending on the room in which you want to install it. If your room is facing south, with many windows, the mobile air conditioner will work less well than if your room has another exposure. Nevertheless, in general, to ensure the effectiveness of the device, it must be allowed to stand and drain the condensation water from time to time. Before wintering, it is advisable to finally clean the hose and filter of your mobile air conditioner.

Does a mobile air conditioning consume a lot?

The energy consumption of mobile air conditioning depends on each model. In general, this device consumes 1,080 kWh if it is estimated that it is used, per year, 60 days for 18 hours. It consumes 3 times more than a refrigerator and 10 times more than a washing machine. To avoid skyrocketing your electricity bill, you can turn to energy-saving models that have an energy efficiency class A. It is also advisable not to select the maximum power when the mobile air conditioner is running in order to avoid thermal shocks. The device must also be reached in case of absence. The important thing is to improve your personal comfort while raising awareness of your use of your mobile air conditioning in order to adopt a responsible attitude.
