Window air conditioners
Window air conditioners units are a simple, easy-to-install solution for keeping a room cool. It is the simplest of the many direct expansion (DX) systems available.
By installing a window air conditioner you can save a lot of money. If you’re only looking to cool a couple of rooms, something like a central air conditioning system may not be a suitable use of money and resources.
The best thing is that your window air conditioner unit should only take a matter of hours to install. Also, when the summer heat is over, units may be easily removed for storage.
Similarly, when you move to a new house, you may be able to pack up and take the unit with you. This is a great option in a rental property or for commercial tenants.
Benefits of Window Air Conditioners
Energy Savings
Window air conditioners have been proven to consume up to 50% less energy than central temperature control systems. By using a portable unit, the amount of energy used decreases by a considerable amount, on the other hand, the money savings spike.
Energy savings not only mean you are helping your budget, but it also means you are helping planet earth. Less energy consumption means less of an impact on climate change and less waste of natural resources. Most powerplants operate by burning oil and coal, which in turn result in damage to the environment. Window air conditioners are an effective alternative to help mother earth without the need of facing dehydration in the summer.
Simple Maintenance
Although you shouldn’t be doing maintenance more than twice a year, I’m willing to bet that it’s not your favorite time of year if you own a central system. Complete strangers in your house, ladders coming in and out, noise you could do without and the list could go on and on. With portable systems, maintenance is not needed very often, in fact, most times just a thorough cleaning once every so often will do.
Expert Installation
There are no special courses or specialized knowledge required for installation. All you need is a drop-down window that adjusts to the size of your unit and voilá! If you need a bit more help, a short instructional YouTube video will be more than enough. Mount, install and set up your own air conditioning system in just a few quick steps.
Localized Cooling
Chances are you pre-set your thermostat to a certain temperature during the day, but when you’re finally ready for bed it’s a bit colder or warmer than you’d like it to be. Regardless of which one it is, the reason is you are the proud owner of an expensive, yet inconvenient system. Unless you have dug into your pockets to install a smart home device that allows you to localize your heating or cooling.
Dependable Size & Cost
You keep reading how window air conditioners are a portable low-cost solution. But the fact is that you can go as small or even as big as you want, same goes for the overall price of the unit you’re buying. With portable systems you get to choose the specifications; you’re not stuck with a small system that will barely cool your master bedroom or on the flip side, one that will not suffice.
