The choice of the most optimal air conditioner option for an apartment and a house?

Probably the most frequently asked question when buying an air conditioner is " How to choose the right air conditioner for an apartment ?".

How to choose the right air conditioner for your apartment?

But the truth is, today the market has a fairly wide range of air conditioners to choose from, from color to technical characteristics. And if it will be easy for the user to decide on the design, then everything is not so simple with the internal characteristics. And the choice of an air conditioner should be approached responsibly, as this affects the comfort of the climate in the apartment during its further use and the correctness of its work in general. What criteria should you pay attention to when choosing an air conditioner for an apartment.

How to choose an air conditioner according to the parameters:

1. The area and volume of the room - since each air conditioner is designed for a specific area;
2. Apartment layout;
3. The location of the apartment - how much the apartment heats up during the day from the sun on a hot, clear day, and in general, the sunny side or not, because. this also gives a certain amount of kW of heat, which the air conditioner will need to cope with;
4. The number of people in the room - as you know, a person also produces heat (approximately 40 W);

Knowing all these parameters, it will not be difficult to choose an air conditioner, but only by its power. As you know, in addition to cooling, modern air conditioners have a number of other features, such as:

• air filtration;
• ionization;
• drying or moisturizing;
• air charge with certain vitamins and trace elements useful for the human body, etc.

Accordingly, the more opportunities the climate equipment has, the more expensive its cost, but in this case, the comfort and quality of the microclimate will be higher. As a rule, the power of the air conditioner is indicated in BTU / sq.m.

How to choose an air conditioner according to the area of \u200b\u200bthe room:

• 7BTU - up to 20 sq.m.;
• 9BTU - up to 25 sq.m.;
• 12BTU - up to 35 sq.m.;
• 18BTU - up to 52 sq.m.;
• 24BTU - up to 70 sq.m.;
• 30BTU - up to 80 sq.m.

But considering all the criteria mentioned above, it is recommended to choose an air conditioner with a power reserve, since in an apartment with a total area of 35 sq.m. there may be wall partitions, several large and small household appliances that also generate heat and there are several people, in which case with a 12BTU split system it will not be comfortable enough and it makes sense to consider a more powerful air conditioner. There are cases when it is not possible to install a standard split system, due to a number of specific situations, then Neoclima offers a mobile air conditioner option, the installation of which does not require special skills and equipment, and it is also easy to turn it off and rearrange it in another place if necessary.

How to choose an air conditioner for your home?

Consider the difference between choosing an air conditioner for a house and choosing an air conditioner for an apartment. When choosing an air conditioning system for a house, one should be guided by the same indicators as when choosing an air conditioner for an apartment, but different options and installation possibilities open up with the house, and also, as a rule, the area of \u200b\u200bthe room itself is larger and often one, even a powerful air conditioner, may not be enough. To create a comfortable microclimate. In such cases, the solution may be, in order not to install several air conditioners, a multi-split system, when several internal, independent units can be connected to one external unit. A very common opinion is that one multi-split system for 2 indoor units will cost less than two separate split systems of the same brand of identical power, justifying this by the fact that there is only 1 outdoor unit. But this is not so, the cost is usually , multi-split system is equal to the traditional air conditioner, and maybe even higher.

Why is that?:

• the system is more difficult to manufacture, thanks to the freon separation function;
• the outdoor unit has such an amount of freon and the area of \u200b\u200bthe heat exchangers is as much as necessary to generate a given level of heat, respectively, with a conventional split system, more materials are used for multi;
• the resource of the components of the outdoor unit (fan, compressor) has been increased, because when one indoor unit is running, with several turned off, the valves, fan and compressor work;
• installation can be more expensive, since during installation, additional meters of the line may be required.

This option, even if it is 10-20% more expensive, is well suited when there is no possibility or desire to spoil the facade with compressor and condenser units, and the maintenance itself for the future will be cheaper, because. Freon refueling and cleaning will require only one outdoor unit, and if the house is permanently occupied, and if you consider the option of giving, when the need for air conditioning is required at a certain period of the year, and the rest of the time there is no one in the house - a portable, mobile air conditioner would be an ideal solution.

What is the advantage of a portable air conditioner for home?:

1. it does not require installation - you can turn it on in any room where there is a window;
2. for the winter period or at times when the house is not inhabited, it can be turned off and taken with you;

Let's summarize the choice of air conditioning for an apartment / house.

As you know, the presence of an air conditioner in an apartment or house has not been a luxury for a long time, but the question of the correct and suitable choice of an air conditioner for installation is still open. Based on the above, the main parameter for selecting equipment is its power, which directly depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room that needs to be cooled, and in some cases even heated.
