Snag These Portable ACs for Up to 60% Off
Air Conditioners
Portable air conditioners operate similar to the standard, refrigerant-based window units you’re familiar with. You can place these standalone units anywhere in the house, as long as there’s an outlet and some sort of ventilation for the exhaust hose. While they do take up a bit of floor space, portable ACs let you reap the benefits of a window unit without the hassle of installation.

Swamp Coolers
Also known as evaporative coolers, swamp coolers are an eco-friendly alternative to standard ACs. In lieu of chemical refrigerants, swamp coolers use water to cool the air through an evaporation process that absorbs heat. They’re also very energy efficient, using only a quarter of the electricity of a standard air conditioner. They’re best suited for dry climates, and you’ll need to place them in rooms with a door or window for ventilation.
