A comfortable microclimate in an apartment depends on many factors. But in any case, it is very important to maintain the optimal temperature level. This requires special equipment. But which one exactly? Most often, it is installed to create a comfortable microclimate in the room air conditioner. Only how to correctly choose such an installation?
What is important to know
Air conditioners usually mean modern split systems that effectively solve several problems at the same time. The technique works almost silently and allows:
- quickly reduce the air temperature;
- maintain a given mode in the room.
But when choosing a specific solution, it is worth evaluating the features of various models in advance. For example, a monobloc or mobile air conditioner is extremely easy to install. The installation of such options does not require the help of specialists. Therefore, it is recommended to install them in a country house. Also, this type of device is great for office spaces.
A traditional split system can be installed in an apartment or studio in a multi-story building. It can be installed in a historical building.
The main selection criterion
Having decided buy an air conditioner, it is worth evaluating some other criteria. One of the most important is power. Installations with different parameters can be found on sale. This indicator is usually denoted as BTU. After this abbreviation, you can see the numbers. They indicate the volume of air that the equipment can effectively cool.
When choosing an air conditioner, it is recommended to increase this indicator by 3 times. Why is this done? The final figure will allow you to find out the area of the premises for which such an installation is ideally suited.
It is also recommended to evaluate secondary indicators that have a direct impact on these figures. These include the presence of computer equipment in the space, windows facing the sunny side. Also, factors that deserve attention include the presence of a large number of rooms, a corridor, windows in the entire wall. If such conditions are available, another 20% should be added to the initial area.
It is recommended to make all the necessary calculations in advance. Do not mindlessly buy the most powerful model. The whole point is that if the parameters of the room and the strength of the device do not match, the mechanism will quickly wear out. Plus, excessive consumption of electrical energy will be an unpleasant bonus.
