Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you live in a hot country, you’ll know all too well the necessity of an ac unit. Or if you can’t afford one, which was me growing up, I hope you have a large window you can open wide and stand in front of hoping for a gust of wind. Those were my childhood memories.
Coming home with sweaty hair plastered to our foreheads, clothes smelling like they could have come out the bin and sticky skin anywhere you touched, meant we were having the time of our lives as kids.
When you’re young you couldn’t care what you looked like or smelled like, as long as you were with friends and living your best life. If only it was so simple when you grew up.
AC
In simple terms, these two sweet letters stand for Air Conditioning. This is a process whereby any moisture or heat that’s in a room is removed and you won’t be sticking to the couches anytime soon. It is a clever machine that makes us feel our most comfortable and can be used in both homes as well as business offices.
Another great party trick an Air Con unit has to offer is that it regulates room temperature so that it is cool enough to have your electronics plugged in without you ending up in a ball of flames. Read more info here for the extended technical side of things.
How to Choose an Air Con
This unit is a great way to keep you and your family from being sweaty Betty’s all summer long, but it can be tricky knowing which is best, how much to spend, and daunting taking the plunge.
Before just heading to the shops and buying one, consider the size of the space you are looking to cool, no point in having a big unit cooling everywhere down and everyone is in parka jackets in the house in the middle of the day.
Measure the space, and have this piece of paper and measurements to hand when shopping. Plus, the store staff will be impressed by your research and preparation.
See the features the different models have to offer and if it’s something you even need, or you’ll end up wasting money on a model that is too advanced for what it’s intended for.
4 Main types of Units
There are factors to consider when shopping for an AC, watch this Air Conditioning buyers guide to help with the overwhelmed feeling and get you on the right track. But let’s break it down into the basic styles.
- Window AC unit. These are screwed into the window and sit on the window sill, they are also the most cost-effective if you don’t have a big budget.
- Portable unit. These are good because they can be moved anywhere in the house, although they need to be by a window to let the hot air out and tend to be a bit noisy.
- Split Ductless. These are the ones you see in the offices with the little fan looking vents and is great for distributing air in multiple rooms at the same time.
- Central. This is a system for the whole house, but it is also the costliest.
Getting Air Pros is the safest and surest way to have it done properly and not waste money.
