Room Air Conditioners & Window Air Conditioners

We No Longer Sell Window or Room Air Conditioners

BPA offers you a full range of room air conditioner options.  Whether you need something seasonal or permanent, for large or small rooms, you can find a solution among our collection of various window air conditioners and through-wall air conditioners.

Window air conditioners are designed to cool only one room.  Cold air does not travel well past corners and down hallways. If you choose the wrong size air conditioner you may end up with temperature and humidity problems plus a nasty electric bill.

If the BTU Size is too Large...
Air conditioners that have a higher BTU rating than the room size needs will tend to turn off quickly (short cycle), and your air conditioner will not run long enough to properly remove the humidity from the air.  An air conditioner dehumidifies as it cools.  To remove moisture, all the air in the room must be able to circulate through the air conditioner before its thermostat turns it off.

If the BTU Size is too Small...
The Air conditioner runs constantly and does not adequately cool the room resulting in a higher energy cost.

How to Select the Proper Air Conditioner Size...

1. Dimensions of room determines BTU Size. See Chart.


2. Chassis must fit in window or wall opening.


3. Check the outlet plug type and electrical requirements.

General Air Conditioner Information...

Which style of room air conditioner is right for me?

We carry what we consider the major air conditioner styles including window, portable, through-wall commercial, and industrial AC units.  You may think of us as being a little snobbish, but we do not carry little novelty devices like personal air conditioners that you wear or handheld fans that spray water at you.  We only carry what we consider quality equipment that will solve residential and professional indoor air problems.

Our portable air conditioner would be appropriate if you may need to transport the air conditioner to another room or location.  It has handles to lift it short distances, but is too heavy to comfortably carry around. Casters allow you to roll it from room to room as needed. 

A window air conditioning unit is perfect for a room that stays generally closed, so that the cooled air does not escape.  Window air conditioning units are not very portable and usually should be for a room that would need to consistently be cooled (at least seasonally).

The through-wall air conditioners are most likely going to be installed permanently, since you have to make a hole in an exterior wall.  Like window units, through-wall is intended for one room or enclosed area, yet larger through-wall air conditioners can cool several rooms if air can flow between them (for example an open kitchen, dining room and living room area).  Through wall air conditioners can be a less expensive alternative to central air.  If an isolated room needs more cool air, an additional inexpensive window air conditioner may handle it without breaking your budget.  Even purchasing multiple through-wall air conditioners may be less expensive than central AC.

Usually commercial air conditioners install through an exterior wall and are an alternative or supplement to central AC in offices or apartments.  Commercial air conditioners are often used for regulating different temperatures in separate spaces like hotel rooms.  A through-wall commercial air conditioner may be installed where there is no room for ducts, such as a work shops, warehouses or converted office space.

An industrial air conditioner is best used if you have a large room with temperature sensitive equipment or processes that produce excessive heat.  Some may have casters and roll around like a portable ac, and some are permanently installed.
