Well, winters are finally over and summers have just knocked on our doors. I know there would be very few people who would say that they like summers because summers are not “cool” and neither are we, it is one of the most dreaded seasons for all of u when we look out for cold drinks. Sun reaches its peak and temperature rises simultaneously and every year it touches a new record. No matter what we do to keep ourselves chill but everything fails in summer. We use electronic items such as fans, desert coolers, and air conditioners to get some relief in our offices and homes but people who can afford them generally prefer air conditioners over coolers and fans because they are more useful as compared to others. You must be aware that there are so many types of coolers, fans, and AC and if we talk about AC mainly then they are two types: split and window. The sizes of AC also but we do not know everything about them that’s why I am going to tell some basic points that we must keep in mind before buying a new AC. So, after reading this I hope you would be able to make up your mind and buy the right one for you. You can get every type of AC on sites like Shopify at very reasonable rates.

1) Capacity

As I have said that the size of the AC varies so you must decide where would you install your new AC because the cooling of the AC depends upon the size of the room. Therefore. The right size AC is necessary for an efficient and increased lifespan and you should calculate the tonnage of the AC that you need to buy.

2) Energy Efficiency

Everyone is worried about energy because it affects our pockets. I would say that you should see the ratings which are provided by the Bureau of energy efficiency to decide. You should see the AC with the high star because the higher the rating, the better the efficiency of the AC, it will also consume less power and provide better cooling.

3) Type of Air Conditioner

It is very important for you to decide what type of AC you need: the split or window. If I talk about the split type then it has two units which are indoor and outdoor. The indoor unit contains the blower, cooling coils, and air filter which emits the cooling but the outdoor unit has a compressor. This one is good for big rooms that require more cooling. The window type of AC is a single unit that is easy to lift. You can fix it on a window in a small room. This is perfect for a small area and cheaper as well compared to split type

4) Air Quality

It should also be thought about before making a decision. Having an AC with a good filter is important for the air quality of your house. AC with a good air filer will extract the dirt and germs from the air and bad odor from the room. While looking out for this also pay attention to a good unit dehumidification unit because it will remove the excess humidity from your room.

5) Cooling Speed

Temperature changes in summer and we need cooling according to the outer atmosphere. Therefore, Your AC must have an adjustable thermostat and fans to relieve you of getting different temperatures in a day. There are some AC that adjusts the temperature accordingly so you should also see this.

6) Price

I guess it is the important fact to remember how much you can spend because there is a huge variety in the prices of the AC. The features of AC change with the price so you should decide what features you need.

These were the few points that I deem important to consider before bringing a new AC to your home. However, you consider other things as well and make the decision.
