While we couldn't be more excited for upcoming beach and pool days, backyard BBQs and fun getaways, warm weather is only enjoyable if you have a place to cool off at the end of a long and sweaty day. Whether your house or apartment doesn't have central air conditioning or your current one just isn't cutting it, installing a window air conditioning unit can make all the difference.

Getting that blast of coolness isn't cheap; air conditioners can cost upwards of $300. Luckily, Memorial Day weekend is here and with it comes great deals and sales on appliances. Experts previously told Shop TODAY that the three-day holiday weekend is a great chance to save on appliances and electronics. So, now is the time to get your hands on an air conditioner before things really heat up.

From well-known brands like LE, Midea, GE and Windmill, we found all the best deals on window air conditioners. Our picks include air conditioners ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 BTUs (the measurement of how much energy an air conditioner uses to remove heat from indoor air), so you can be sure to pick an AC that's right for your space. For reference, smaller rooms can use 5,000-6,000 while larger spaces may need upwards of 8,000 and beyond.
