Has the time come to put a new air conditioner into your home or office? The rising temperature says “yes,” but offers no advice on what type of air conditioner for you to buy. Thanks to improvements in technology, scores of different air conditioning models exist on the market. Check out the following five types to figure out what particular one best fits your residence.
1. Window Air Conditioners
The window air conditioner remains the quintessential air conditioning system, and the one people are most familiar with.
You pretty much see them all over the place in residential areas. Modern window air conditioning systems can be powerful enough to cool an entire floor. Smaller models may be fine for just one room.
These air conditioners can be installed and secured in a window with basic tools. The exhaust section of the device allows condensation to safely drip to the outside ground.
When the time comes to remove the air conditioning Oshawa unit, you just take it out of the window. This way, you can keep the window closed during the winter preserving insulation.
2. Portable Air Conditioners
Portable air conditioners are relatively new devices that somewhat replace and improve upon traditional interior fans.
Portable air conditioners roll out and can be placed anywhere inside a home. Actually, these models remain popular among apartment dwellers lacking the option to install a window model.
For cooling small spaces or single rooms, this type of model might be a solid and convenient choice.
Space-conscious persons in Ontario may want to visit the showroom of portable air conditioning Oshawa sellers.
3. Central Air Conditioning
Interestingly, the design of central air shares similar parts and design with a kitchen refrigerator. Central air conditioning systems certainly cost more than a refrigerator.
Homeowners may need to spend thousands of dollars to install these systems. Interestingly, a portion of the money may be recouped through increased energy efficiency.
4. Split Air Conditioners
Who said all the components that make an air conditioner work need to be in a single unit? Engineers figured out a way to actually split an air conditioner into two separate components – an indoor and an outdoor one.
The outdoor component houses the condenser and compressor with most of the other parts found in the unit in the home. The reasons behind moving these parts outside make sense.
For one, putting the compressor outside cuts down on noise inside a home dramatically. Also, the exterior unit can connect to multiple interior units eliminating the necessity for several large units in the home.
5. Geothermal Air Conditioners
Geothermal air conditioning creates the perception “the future is here!” As far as energy efficiency goes, geothermal heating and cooling systems garner high marks.
Geothermal cooling works by regulating interior temperature through a transfer system connected to the ground underneath a property.
The engineering that developed geothermal air conditioning truly is marvelous.
And the end result of all this technology — cheaper, cooler air in the home — is appreciated.
