Air Conditioners

Choose a portable air conditioner by room size. The cooling capacity is given in BTU/h: our range includes, for example, 7,000, 9,000 and 12,000 BTU/h units, and a higher capacity cools a larger room. The unit blows warm air outdoors through an exhaust hose that you lead out of a window, so no fixed installation is needed. A window sealing kit reduces the warm outdoor air flowing in around the hose.

The unit cools one room at a time, and you can move it on its wheels from room to room. Our range includes air conditioners from Wilfa, Electrolux and Wave as well as window sealing kits.

A portable air conditioner cools one room

An air conditioner cools the room air with a compressor and leads the heat out through an exhaust hose. Without the hose the unit would heat the room, so lead the hose outdoors, for example through a window. A window sealing kit fills the gap around the hose, so less warm outdoor air flows in. The unit plugs into an ordinary socket.

The cooling capacity is given in BTU/h. 7,000 BTU/h corresponds to about 2 kilowatts, 9,000 BTU/h to about 2.6 kilowatts and 12,000 BTU/h to about 3.5 kilowatts. The manufacturer states how large a room the unit suits, but ceiling height, which way the windows face and the layout also matter. A unit that is too small runs at full power constantly. The compressor and fan make noise, so compare the stated noise level if the unit is going in a bedroom. It is worth buying an air conditioner before the heat arrives, as demand grows in hot weather.

Our range includes air conditioners from Wilfa, Electrolux and Wave. If a cooling airflow on your skin is enough, see fans. A fan does not lower the room temperature.

Frequently asked questions about air conditioners

Does a portable air conditioner need an exhaust hose?

Yes. An air conditioner moves heat from the room outside through the exhaust hose, and without the hose the heat would stay in the room. You lead the hose outdoors, for example through a window, and a window sealing kit reduces the warm outdoor air flowing in around it. No fixed installation or hole through the wall is needed.

What does BTU mean?

BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a unit of heat energy, and the cooling capacity of an air conditioner is given in BTU per hour (BTU/h), although product names often leave out the hour. The higher the figure, the more heat the unit moves out per hour. 9,000 BTU/h corresponds to about 2.6 kilowatts. Choose the capacity according to the room size stated by the manufacturer.

How do I maintain an air conditioner?

Clean the dust from the air filter regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions, as a clogged filter weakens cooling. When you start using the unit after winter storage, check the filter and the exhaust hose. Drain any condensed water from the unit before winter storage, and store it upright in a dry place.
