With a适当的空调单元, you can adjust the temperature inside the room to a point where you feel comfortable doing something else rather than just lying in bed with a headache. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of thebest air conditioning units for a single room。

How to Choose A single room air conditioner

Let’s start by showing you what are the things that you have to consider before settling for asingle room air conditioner, so that you can spend money on something that actually cools you down and comes with features that are of use to you:

• There are plenty of differenttypes of air conditioners选择，其中有些更适合小房间，有些更适合大型房间，所有房间都有不同的安装位置和方法。在我们的下一部分标题为“房间空调类型”中，您将了解有关不同现有类型的更多信息，并查看哪一种最适合您的情况。
• 然后，考虑一下您当地建筑代码在安装墙壁或窗户空调系统中要说的话。某些法规反对这一点，因为它会破坏建筑物的美学，但由于结构安全原因，也禁止它。
• The, consider how much floor space you have available for an air conditioner. That will also determine which type of air conditioner is best for you. If you have unlimited floor space, a便携式单元可能是您最好的选择，但这并不总是最有效的选择。如果您没有地板空间，请考虑使用不同类型的壁挂装置。
• The electrical outlets that are available in the room also matter. 110/120-Volt outlets are common in most households, and certain AC units might require higher voltages because they are more powerful. 208/230-Volt units might be more suitable for some through-wall or window air conditioners.
• Some AC units are really easy to install, while others might require more room modifications and extra trouble on your behalf. Consider just how much installation you want to perform, as that might also have a say in which type of air conditioner is best for you. If you want little to no installation, you might want to consider portable AC units, as they are super easy to install. All the other types will require a little more effort on your behalf. Take note that some models require professional installation, such as ductless mini-split units.
• Different models have different noise outputs, and this could be a decisive factor if you are a person that can’t withstand noise because you’re working, studying, or sleeping, while the AC unit is running. Ductless air conditioning units are quieter compared to most other types because the condenser is placed outside the house. Other models have higher decibel ratings, but some models can be really efficient in terms of noise output, which makes them bearable.
• 您还需要考虑能源效率，因为空调单元倾向于在其某些特定设置中使用大量电力。便携式空调的效率往往降低，因为它们需要更多的BTU才能真正冷却一个房间。窗口和墙壁系统在需要多少能量方面要好一些。但是，如果您有兴趣投资节能的产品，则最好的选择是无管道的ACS。

Types of Room Air Conditioners

不同类型的空调将valuable in different kinds of situations, and knowing about the existing types can make it easier for you to choose one that you’re actually going to benefit from in the long run. Air conditioners come in the following varieties:

便携的

这些是独立的单元，可以吸入新鲜空气，清洗水分和热量，然后将其散发回房间。它们通常包含窗口套件，通常易于安装。他们的主要优点是您可以将它们从一个房间转移到另一个房间，因为它们不需要永久安装。

Window

Window air conditioning unitsare available in a variety of sizes, and they can be used either as a primary source of cooling, or in combination with a central AC system. As the name implies, these units are installed in a window, but they can also be installed in a matching wall hole. Depending on their size and capacity, they can cool small to large rooms.

Thru wall

Short for “through-the-wall” air conditioners, these units are similar to window air conditioners in a sense that they can be installed through a wall by using a chassis sleeve. However, they do not come with venting mechanisms on both sides, and they usually have higher cooling capacities compared to a window AC unit.

Ductless split

These air conditioners have a high cooling efficiency and are composed of two major parts: the condenser unit that’s normally placed outdoors and the indoor unit, which is placed strategically in the room that you want to cool. If you choose to install multiple ductless split system air conditioners, know that you can control each of them individually, and one unit can be capable of cooling down more than one room if you leave the door open.

PTAC

Short for “Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners”, these are commercial-grade systems that you will often find in offices or hotels. You can typically find them installed on an external wall, usually underneath a window. They can cool everything from small to large spaces.

FAQ

Which AC is best for a single room?

这实际上取决于我们正在谈论的房间的大小。一般而言，单个房间的最佳单元是通过墙，便携式，迷你空调和窗户单元。

Are mini air conditioners any good?

According to Consumer Reports, mini air conditioners don’t do a very good job of cooling the air inside a room. They do a better job compared to a fan, but they are not as good as, let’s say, a window unit.

Can I use a portable air conditioner in a room without a window?

Let’s get something out of the way: a portable air conditioner requires venting, but that venting isn’t necessarily done through a window. You can also install the venting through a door, the ceiling, a through a wall, but it has to be done. Keep in mind that the exhaust hose needs to stay straight all time, which might lead to a few design inconveniences considering the lack of aesthetics of an exhaust hose.

如果没有交流，我该如何冷却房间？

如果您负担不起空调，那很好。There are still a few things that you can do when you want to cool down the temperature inside your room, such as using box fans, opening your windows strategically, closing the doors to other rooms, opting for energy-efficient bulbs, cooking when it’s not that hot outside, and turning on as few electronics as possible (they tend to generate a lot of extra heat).

Bottom Line

The最好的房间空调for you will depend on a series of factors that might make the unit way better than another. Some AC units are really powerful and when you have to heat up a single room, investing in such a unit might be futile. The amount of floor space you have at your disposal, as well as potential building regulations that might prevent you from changing the façade by installing an AC unit, are other factors that you have to consider.
