During the hot summer months an air conditioner can be a life saver. If you are purchasing a new air conditioner in order to save energy and money on your electric bill you should look at efficient ac systems. Before you go buy the air conditioner there are some things that you should first do. One of the first things you should ask yourself is where you are going to put the air conditioner. When a home does not have central air then they may put a window air conditioner in the living room, bedroom, kitchen, or den. Whichever room you decide to put it make sure that you measure the room.
If you have a small area that you want to keep cool them a small or medium efficient ac system will do. If the room is between two hundred fifty and three hundred square feet you would need an air conditioner with a capacity of seven thousand btu per hour. The btu stands for British Thermal Unit. Make sure that you do not get a bigger air conditioner than you need because being bigger it will not have a better performance. If the air conditioner has a higher energy specification this means that it will consume more electrical energy.
In addition to the size of the room you should look at the height of the ceiling, how many windows are in the room, and the number of people will be staying in the room. Since this is a window air conditioner you will need to decide which window you want to put it in. The window that you choose should be above or near a window. You also need to know if the plug unit where you want to install the air conditioner is capable of handling the power of the air conditioner. If you are not sure, have an electrician check it out and if it is not able to handle the air conditioner have they install a socket and plug that will work with a higher voltage rating such as a two hundred thirty volt AC circuit. Once this taken care of you can now decide which window to do an ac installation. If you are putting it in your bedroom choose a window that faces the bed or close to it.
When shopping for efficient ac systems take the measurements of the room where the air conditioner is going to be installed so you can be sure that you get the correct one. If you are not sure what you need, ask a professional salesperson for help.
