If you remember last year’s record-breaking heat wave, you might want to brace yourself. According to the local weather report, Portland is in for some 100-plus degree days towards the end of the week. Even though we’ve had some cool evenings and occasional drizzly weather, this summer is slated to start heating up and temperatures could even possibly reach record-breaking heights before the start of Autumn.
To keep yourself cool this year, consider a portable air conditioner. Now that many apartment buildings allow for portable air conditioner use, it’s your chance to start effectively cooling your home.
No more running into the grocery store or spending the day at the movies just for a few relieving moments of AC when you opt for one of these best portable air conditioners available from Home Depot and Amazon.
Pick Your Perfect Cooling Equipment
The ability of an air conditioner or fan to cool your home—known as the cooling capacity—will dictate how large of a space you can use it in. To find out your room size and learn more about buying the right cooling equipment for your family, check out Home Depot’s air conditioner buying guide. Many of these options you can have shipped quickly to your home, and some of them you can purchase and pick up locally at your nearest Home Depot that has these options in stock.
