In the face of the heat there are ways to cool off and air conditioning is undoubtedly one of them, although if you can do it while saving on the electricity bill, much better.

Article updated on May 19: we have removed some non-stock products and added the KESSER Split 12000 BTU/h (split), Comfee MPPH-07CRN7 (portable) and LG Standard Win Inverter (split) models.

In countries like Spain, especially in certain areas, it is absolutely essential to have an air conditioning unit at home, because with temperatures exceeding 40º every year there are not many other alternatives to avoid suffering between May and September.

That being said, there are many things to take into account when buying an air conditioner, such as size, noise and, above all, one that is now more relevant than ever: electricity consumption. With the electricity bill skyrocketing, saving is key.

If you have to change yours or get a new one, choosing one that at least has A certification is very importantsince you can save hundreds of euros throughout its useful life.

Fortunately, there is plenty of supply to find cheap and low-consumption models of all kinds, whether they are split inverter or portable air conditioners, a very fashionable format lately.

Olimpia Splendid 01921 with A certification

Olympia Splendid

If your budget does not allow for a very high investment, this portable Olimpia Splendid is a good option, although it is not the one that consumes the least energy of all those we have selected.

In quality-price it does stand out and a lot, since it costs around 300 euros and it has no less than 2,500 frigories, that is, it cools a lot.

Like all laptops, it has a gas evacuation tube that you must attach to the window, and for this it comes with all the necessary accessories.

It’s sold by Amazon, and that means Shipping is pretty fast if you have an Amazon Prime account.something ideal if you can’t stand the heat anymore and you want an immediate solution.

Rowenta AU4010

Rowenta AU4010

Rowenta is a brand with a long history in the home appliance sector, also in air conditioners, especially in portable models.

This AU4010 is quite complete, with the capacity to cool up to 60 m2 (a small-medium size home) and has a remote control, as well as 8000 BTU.

With 9 different configurations, it is completely customizable according to the capacity and flow of cold air you need at any given time.

EQUATION Silent2 with A+ certification

Equation Silent2

We now turn to another fairly cheap portable model, in this case from another store that specializes in these products: Leroy Merlin, which sells it with the option of home delivery or store pickup.

It does take a leap to A+ certification, a step that is noticeable on the bill, although it is somewhat less powerful than the previous Olimpia, with “only” 2,200 frigories.

That said, it should be more than enough to quickly and consistently cool 20-30 square meter rooms.

INFINITON 3720MU A++ Certified

Infinity Split

One more step, now to A++ in a Split air conditioning and with WiFi, one that also has a slightly lower price than usual.

Its main strong point is the frigories, no less than 3,500much more than what you can get in other devices with a similar price.

With it you will be able to cool a medium-sized house while maintaining a fairly discreet consumption, something that in the case of other 3,500 frigories air would trigger the bill to unsuspected limits.

Of course, it has a problem: it is sold by Amazon but you will have to be the one who contracts the installation separately.

MITSUBISHI LMK09Z6L-W with A+++ certification

Mitsubishi Split

Scratching your pocket a little more, you can now move on to highly prestigious brands in the sector, such as the Japanese Mitsubishi, which has had an important presence throughout the world for decades.

This device can be purchased with installation, something quite comfortable and important. It has 2,000 frigories, a sufficient but not impressive power that together with the A+++ certification gives rise to a model with very low consumption.

For what it costs and with the guarantee of Leroy Merlin and Mitsubishi, it is undoubtedly one of the best options available.
