Finding A Suitable Home Air Conditioner

 

While purchasing a new air conditioner (AC) the AC buyer will usually mainly check the price and features of the unit before making a decision. However, most buyers are not aware of the importance of choosing the AC based on the size of the home or room where it will be installed. 

 

They usually do not notice that each AC unit has a rating that specifies the cooling capacity of the unit based on the components which are used. Often the AC buyer will want to purchase the cheapest AC unit which is available to save money, which is usually an AC unit with the lowest cooling capacity.

 

The buyer does not realize that if the cooling capacity of the AC unit which they have selected is not appropriate, they will face problems later. If the AC model is not selected considering the size of the room where it is installed, the room will not get cooled to the temperature desired quickly. 

 

In contrast, choosing a higher capacity AC unit for a small house could result in wastage of money since high capacity ACs are more expensive. They will also consume more power, so the electricity bill is higher.

 

 

 

Picking An Appropriate AC Size

The AC cooling capacity depends on the design and rating of the various components like compressor which are being used in it. Typically the size of the high-rating compressor and other components is more, so these components are more expensive, leading to the higher cost of AC units with greater cooling capacity.

 

These larger AC units will also consume more electricity. So it is advisable to purchase an AC unit which is of the right size for the room or house where it will be installed. Purchasing an oversized AC unit could lead to wastage of electricity, higher energy bills.

 

Often buyers, especially those with a limited budget, are tempted to purchase a smaller air conditioner because the price is lower. However, the buyer should realize that a small AC is not adequate for properly cooling larger properties. People are installing ACs in their home, because higher temperatures are causing discomfort, and want the AC installed to lower the temperature quickly. If a small AC is installed, it will take a very long time to reduce the room temperature, so the AC should always be chosen based on the room or house size.
