Air conditioners are manufactured to keep the places cool where they have been fixed. It is unavoidable to use this unit during the hot sunny days. The cost of the units depend upon the design, the ability to offer cooling power, efficient energy consumption, size, weight and features. The manufacturers in the UK have been marketing air conditioners in different kinds. Some of the essential types of air conditioners are listed.
- Window Air conditioners
As the name indicates, these window air conditioners are designed in such a manner to fix in windows.
- Casement Air conditioners
Unlike the window units, these types of air conditioners are capable to swing out in the left or right.
- Wall Air conditioners
These units have come with the facility to be hung on walls. You can hang the unit in any building walls. But they need a sleeve. You can buy these sleeves separately from the market.
- Portable Air conditioners
These type of air conditioners are very much popular as they are portable. They are small in size and so need less space to be stored. It needs a vent to dispose the exhaust outside the room.
- Room Air conditioners
These air conditioners are designed to fix inside a room easily. These units have come with the potential to offer cooling power up from 5,000 to 30,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). The size of room has to be considered while you buy a room air conditioner.
- The Importance of EER
‘EER’, you must have come through this acronym, while you shop for air conditioners. It is an acronym of the term ‘Energy Efficiency Rating’ which indicates the level of efficiency of the air conditioners in consuming electricity to run the unit. The EER rate is always pasted on every home appliance to know the energy efficiency level.
The importance of BTU Sizing
- While BTU size is too large
Suppose you have an air conditioner, which has higher BTU rate than your actual room size, then your unit resolves to cycle off fast. This leads to improper removal of moisture in the air.
- While BTU size is too small
On the other hand, if you have an air conditioner with lower BTU rate than your room size, the unit has to have non-stop function. This issue leads to inadequate cooling.
