Differences between Air Conditioners & Air Coolers in Singapore

Air Coolers
• In Singapore, Air Coolers can only slightly reduce the temperature (1-3 Degrees) • Less expensive to purchase and to run • Does not require installation and is ‘plug and play’ • Has mobility and can be freely moved around • High airflow (like a very powerful fan) More suited for outdoor areas where airflow volume is more important than temperature of the air

Portable Air Con (Home/Office)
• Can significantly reduce temperature (3-10 Degrees) • More expensive to purchase and to run • Requires installation of ducting to dissipate hot air to an open area • Can be easily ‘uninstalled’ for installation at another location (great for rented premises) • Works like a regular air con More suited for indoor/enclosed areas where temperature of the air in the room is more important than the ‘wind’ volume
