Things To Look Into In An Air Conditioner Before Purchasing And Installing

Posted by Layla Flinn on October 24th, 2019

Everyone wants to stay in comfort at home after a hard day of work in the office or business. Many people want to work in a comfortable atmosphere to increase their work efficiency. The hot sweltering temperatures during the summer drench out the energy to work and acts as a barrier to stay comfortable, whether at home or in office.

If you are looking for a solution to these types of discomforts, then installing air conditioners are one of the best solutions. However, one should pay heed to certain features before installing them; else the efforts and the expenses drain out without giving the desired result.

Points To Ponder

  • The Floor Area – It is essential to consider the floor area where ACs have to be installed. Depending on the floor area, the BTU of the air conditioners will change. A small floor area with much BTU will chill the place and consume more energy. Whereas a big area that needs to be air-conditioned should have the unit with proper BTU, else the desired result will not be felt. The machine will overwork and consume more energy which in turn results in an increase in electricity bills.

  • The Type - One can get the AC's according to their exact requirements and some of the models which are popular are a window, split or portable models. One should always choose the type depending on his or her actuals needs and availability of space.  The split machines keep the temperature of the room uniformly cool even though they take time to reach the desired temperature. The window types cool the area faster, but the noise levels are more, and the machines are heavy. One can purchase the portable air conditioners if he or she is planning to install them in only one or two rooms. They can be shifted from one place to another, but the cooling capacity is much low.

  • Look For Energy Star Ratings – It is a fact that the energy bills rise considerably when the AC unit runs. Therefore, one should always look for the energy ratings as per the regulations stipulated by the state. However, a unit with more energy rating and having an inverter consumes less energy and cuts down the energy bills to considerable levels. Although the price of this type of ac unit is more, in the long run, they save the pockets from burning a hole. It is more effective for units with larger cooling capacity.

  • The Digital Display And The Remote Controls – One should always look for air conditioners with digital display and remote control. The LED display provides information like present temperature, humidity levels and so on. With the help of remote control, you can adjust the temperature, control the fan speed of the unit, set the timer, on and off the unit when not required and many other useful things... When you start using remote control then you can take complete control of the AC system.

  • The Coils – While purchasing air conditioners, one should never compromise with the type of coil used in them. There are ac units in which the cooling coils are made either from copper or aluminum. The units with copper coils cost more, whereas the ones with aluminum coils are cheaper. However, the long-time maintenance of aluminum coils is quite expensive, and one should avoid buying these types of units.

  • The Warranty And After-Sales Service – Look at the assurance of the air conditioners provided by the manufacturer. Also, the after-sales service conditions and the promptness should be gauged before sealing the deal. Purchase ac units that have a long warranty period and backed by prompt after-sales service when needed.

Conclusion

It is time to stay or work comfortably at office or home, and air conditioners are the best equipment that has to be purchased during hot summers or other seasons to keep the indoors cool so that you can stay away from extreme heat. They increase your work efficiency and also help you to stay healthy and fit.
