Hot Temperatures Across The U.S. Lead To Record Online Room Air Conditioner Sales

As temperatures around the country rise, people are turning to the internet to do their shopping for portable, wall mount, window mount and case air conditioners. Abt Electronics & Appliances has a complete selection of room air conditioner units in stock and ready ship to all areas of the country.

(PRWEB) July 8, 2006 -- Parts of the United States are experiencing record breaking summer temperatures in 2006, leading to a higher demand for individual room air conditioning units. Abt Electronics & Appliances has continued to offer a complete selection of quality air conditioners available for online purchase, with some units shipping for free to most US locations. Some of Abt's most popular brands include Whirlpool, General Electric, Friedrich, Fedders and Frigidaire.

Air conditioner styles currently available both online and at Abt's Chicago store include window and wall mount units, casement A/C, portable air conditioners, and a full line of A/C parts and accessories. Air conditioner output, measured in BTU (the number of British thermal units circulating per hour), start at 5k and go to over 30k. Abt's featured Air Conditioner Buying Guide can help you make the right choice when deciding which product is best for the space that needs to be cooled.

Room air conditioning units have evolved over the past few years into advanced and efficient electronic devices. One advantage of personal A/C is that it is less of an expense both for the unit itself and for the cost on utility bills when compared to central air conditioning (Energy Star Compliant). Newer technology including digital thermostats can regulate the air so it's just at the right temperature without having to constantly make adjustments. Other recent developments include remote controls which let you change the settings when you aren't near the unit. In addition to cooling, A/C units dehumidify and filter air, making it more comfortable and cleaner.

Online sales for individual room air conditioners at Abt Electronics are experiencing all-time highs this year not just in the heat of summer. "We sell tons of air conditioners during the summer months but due to our website, we have been selling a steady stream of them around the country year round. Our sales team is here to help customers find the right unit for their homes," said Conrad Sivek, online sales manager for Abt.
