With the approach of the summer season, you may be finding it much harder to focus and stay productive throughout the work day, especially if your company employs a work from home setup. When you don’t have the luxury of staying in an airconditioned office, these desktop air conditioners will help you keep cool so that you can get your work done.

‍

Here are some desktop air conditioner recommendations to get you started!

Things to Consider

Cooling Capacity

In most traditional air conditioners, a unit’s cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units, but this doesn’t apply to miniature desktop air conditioners. The cooling capacity of more conventionally sized units are measured by how efficiently they can cool down a room. It’s best to keep in mind that desktop air conditioners aren’t designed to cool large spaces.

Additional Costs

While these units are smaller and don’t consume as much energy, they still require electricity to operate or to charge their batteries. It might not make as big of a difference in your utility bills, but it may still raise the costs slightly.

Surrounding Environment

A desktop air conditioner is meant to cool down the immediate area surrounding it, but it won’t be able to work properly in an overly heated environment. Before switching your desktop unit on, make sure that your workspace isn’t located in direct sunlight and has adequate ventilation to rid the air of as much heat as possible.
