In the summer months, air conditioning becomes an important element for maintaining a comfortable and pleasant environment at home or at work. If you are planning on purchasing a new air conditioning system, understanding how it works and the important factors in choosing one is key. So let’s take a closer look at how air conditioning works and what to look for when choosing one.
Air conditioning – how does it work?
An air conditioner is essentially an air/air heat pump, which we also discussed in a previous article. It is a device that regulates the temperature, humidity and cleanliness of the air in an enclosed space. In simple terms, the way it works is that warm air is drawn in, passed through a cooling mechanism where it is cooled and then circulated back into the room. At the same time, it removes heat to the outside. The medium in the system extracts heat from the air, which is taken care of by the indoor unit, and transfers it to the space via the outdoor unit.
So-called inverter air conditioning is also becoming increasingly popular. In contrast to conventional climate control, this adapts its performance to the current needs of the indoor unit. It is thus more efficient, more flexible and even more capable of saving energy. Customers will also be pleased with its longer service life.
What to look for when choosing an air conditioner?
As we can see, choosing the right air conditioner will not be easy. The market offers many types and there are several factors that we recommend taking into account when making your choice.
Size and performance
It is important to choose an air conditioning system that matches the size and needs of the room. A system that is too large can cause high humidity and irregular cooling, while one that is too small may not be sufficient to cover the entire room.
Size is also related to power and electricity consumption, which are some of the most important factors when choosing an air conditioner. Cooling power is indicated in watts and total electricity consumption is indicated by the electrical input.
Efficiency
Systems with higher energy efficiency can be cheaper to operate in the long run. Keep efficiency as high as possible. The COP/EEP coefficient tells you how much heat an air conditioner delivers per KW.
Type of air conditioning
Decide between centralised and decentralised systems according to the needs of the home or space.
Air filtration and noise level
A quality air filter can make a significant contribution to cleaner indoor air and the health of the occupants. If quiet is important to you, consider low-noise systems. These and other features and add-ons will make sure the air conditioner is tailor-made for you.
Maintenance and service
Ensure that the air conditioner is easy to maintain and that you have reliable service available when needed.
