  • Would like portable commercial air conditioning unit that puts out 17,600 btus to cool a 500 sq. ft. area (sq. ft. can vary based upon ceiling height, number of people in room, etc.)
  • Needs supplemental cooling because the central air conditioning in offices, hospitals, schools, etc. does not effectively cool the upper floors or far corners
  • Wants effective commercial air conditioners for "spot cooling" overheated areas within large buildings (meeting rooms, classrooms), or for outdoor special events
  • Needs commercial air conditioning during planned events such as plant turnarounds, production processing and retooling
  • Can use inexpensive insurance in the event of emergency overloads or shutdowns - portable air conditioning units offer a quick way to cool equipment, processes and staff

  • Needs industrial air conditioners to support permanent HVAC systems during rehab and retro-fit operations
  • Has awkward sized windows that standard size window air conditioners cannot accommodate
  • Wants to avoid the expense of buying several permanent-mounting window air conditioners
  • Does not want to destroy the paint or woodwork around a window with an air conditioning unit that must be secured with nails - especially important if residing in a rented space
  • Prefers a warranty when purchasing an air conditioner - these units carry a 1-year warranty; 3-year for compressor
