2) Mono block air conditioners
They are in need of ducts to release the air outside, hot air in case of cooling and cool air in case of heating. The efficiency is less if you compare it with other types of air conditioners and it may not be possible in rooms where there is no outlet for hot air to escape.
Central Air Conditioning Units They are popular in well developed countries like USA and the UK.
They use ducts to distribute dehumidified (moisture content reduced air or in simple terms hot air) or cool air to a large sized room or multiple rooms. They are also able to use pipes to transport chilled water to heat exchangers.
There are two ways of installing this unit. One way is to place some components inside and others outside of the room.
The other way is to use it as a single composite unit placed at top of roofs or in the centre of vast areas such as college libraries etc.
The first is that the air is filtered when using this system, making the air cleaner and easier to breathe which is especially beneficial to asthma patients.
Moreover the system is quieter and less disruptive than several other units.

The answer to which only you will be able to provide and it will vary on certain criteria such as is this going to be a commercial purchase? Do you live in a all year round warm weather climate etc? Thinking about your situation logically should dictate whether you require a portable air conditioner.
As to saving money there are various ways that you can do this and we will be looking at each way in further detail:-
Choosing the right model to fit you Portable Air Conditioners can range in technical specification and the specification can range from a highly efficient unit enabling a very cool atmosphere using very minimal energy in an ultra sleek design to a larger more clunky type unit which uses more energy however is considerably cheaper then the first model. Obviously the model you choose needs to reflect your circumstances, if you are only intending to use the unit once every night for 30 minutes in your upstairs bedroom before you go to bed because the ventilation in your room is poor, then I doubt you will need a top of the range deluxe model. Be wise.
Choosing the right brand for you
There are some big brands within the market, and like within any market you will pay for this brand recognition. For example, you will pay more for a BMW then you will for a Ford. However unlike cars, portable air conditioners are not overly complex pieces of machinery. Standard units should come with comprehensive warranties and as long as a unit has a good warranty, then in general it should be a safe buy. So the lesson is do not be discouraged by a lesser know brand which is 30% cheaper.
