What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner? The right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit won't cool adequately while one that's too large will not remove enough humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner, determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the room length by its width.
