We can find portable air conditioner
12000 BTU or in wall, window and split wall mounted types. A split air
conditioning unit means the evaporator is inside, but the condenser unit is on the
outside of the building. A 12000 BTU air conditioner is a rather large air
conditioner and it is perfect for cooling and dehumidifying rooms of
approximately 600 square feet in size. A 12000 BTU AC is sometimes called a one
ton unit. But this has nothing to do with its weight, this simply describes the
power output.
In order to have sufficientelectricity to run a portable air conditioner 12000 BTU, we will need either
120 or 240 volt ac power. For air conditioners using less than 7.5 amps, we can
just plug them into a standard outlet, although we will need a dedicated
circuit for units drawing on more power than that. 240 volt circuits are
typically only needed for air conditioners with outputs greater than 12000
BTUs. A BTU is stand for
British Thermal Unit, and this describes how much
output a particular air conditioning unit has.
If we live in the American Southwest
it will be more important for us to cool a room than to dehumidify it. But if we
live in southern Florida, we will likely need to take full advantage of both
features. Today's a/c units for portable air conditioner 12000 BTU have some
fine tuning controls so that we do not waste energy and we can set a unit's
capacity up to do what we most need done.
It is important to pay attention tothe fact that a portable air conditioner 12000 BTU ac unit is designed to cool
and dehumidify quite large rooms, because with their power draw we do not want
to waste the money on the purchase and installation of such a large unit and
then run up an electric bill that need not be so high unless it is a necessity.
Some homes have open rooms that make such a large unit ideal for use, but if the
home has closed off rooms it might not need such as a large model.
It is possible that we might need a mixture of more than one size of ac unit, such as a portable air conditioner 12000 BTU ac unit and some other, smaller ac unit. It all depends upon the layout of the home or office building. Figure out carefully how large the areas where we need airconditioning and do the best to figure out how much drift there will be between different rooms and areas. Take all these considerations into account and make a smart, economical choice when considering the ac unit.
