How to choose the right aircon for a room

[airconprossg 0]

You don’t want to buy an AC that is too small for the room, because it would just need to do harder work to cool down the room. But at the same time, you don’t want to get a big air conditioner that uses up so much power. This article will tell you how to choose the right size ac for your room and help you save money on your air conditioning bill.

Consider the size of the room before choosing an aircon

The size of the room where you intend to put the air conditioner is essential in deciding what type of air conditioner to get. If you purchase an air conditioner that’s too small, it will not be able to cool down the air well enough. On the other hand, if you buy an air conditioner that’s too big, it will cool down the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity. This can make your home feel cold and clammy as if there was never an air conditioner running at all. A professional can take measurements of your space and help determine which type of unit will work best in that space. Consider how much electricity you want to use.

 Air conditioners are rated by BTUs (British thermal units), which measure how quickly and efficiently they can cool a specific volume of air. A 5,000 BTU unit will cool a small room like a bedroom or office quickly and efficiently, while a larger unit with 18,000 BTUs or more is suitable for large spaces like living rooms or kitchens.  

Choose between a Split Air Conditioner and a Window Air Conditioner.

Split Air Conditioner

Split air conditioners consist of two units, an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The split air conditioner has the advantage of being more powerful than a window air conditioner. As such, it can cool larger rooms more quickly than a window air conditioner. In addition, the compressor is located outside of your home, so the noise level can be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, because they require installation by professionals, split air conditioners tend to be more expensive than window models.

Window Air Conditioner

The main advantage of a window air conditioner is affordability. They are much cheaper than split models and are easier to install. If you only have a small room that needs to be cooled and doesn’t want to pay for installation, this model is right for you.

Energy Efficiency Ratio

Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) measures how efficiently an air conditioner uses energy in its cooling process. The higher the EER rating, the more efficiently it uses energy.

Consider additional features like an Anti-bacterial filter, Dehumidifier, etc…

Depending on where you live a dehumidifier can be helpful (especially in a monsoon climate). An anti-bacterial filter can be handy if you have kids or someone who is prone to asthma at home. One of the most important things to consider is the noise level of the AC unit. Many people forget about this and end up buying an AC that sounds like a train and keeps them awake every night. There are many other features that you can look for in an Air Conditioner depending on your requirements.

There are very useful tips and information in this article. Using them will help to choose a good air conditioner.
