Unlike split systems or central systems, a portable air-con system is perfect for cooling a small space. These are air conditioning appliances that come with wheels and you can steer them from one place to another to be comfortably cold in as many rooms as possible.

Usually, they are energy efficient and have a reasonable cooling capacity in order to make Australia’s summer temperature more bearable. Students, people who move often, tenants, or those on vacation in the country may find the portable AC extremely convenient.
