Where to install AC

 

Finding the right space for your AC requires experience. Employing a qualified air conditioning specialist to visit your home, assess the situation, and make the installation is highly recommended. Installing your air conditioner in the optimal location may be beyond the scope of a general electrician or tradesperson’s knowledge base.

Living room

For large families who spend a lot of time in the living room, it’s a fantastic idea to install an air conditioner. An air conditioner in your living room would be very dependent on the arrangement of your house. Some things to bear in mind include the following:

    • A window-mounted unit may be an option if the living room has windows that can be easily opened.
    • A floor-standing unit is an option if there are no windows.
    • If you want to keep your cooling costs low, consider installing a ceiling-mounted air conditioner.
    • It’s recommended to connect to a central air conditioning system if your living room is spacious.

Small Bedroom

Because some rooms are smaller, cooling them down is easier. This applies to both children’s rooms and accommodations with only one bed for adults. Installing an air conditioner here has the advantage of not necessitating maximum cooling capacity.

When installing an air conditioner in a tiny bedroom, keep these things in mind:

    • When the room is cool enough, install an air conditioner with a timer so it can convert to fan mode when the room is no longer hot. Because of this, the room’s tenants will sleep better at night because they won’t be as cold.
    • More heat will be allowed into a tiny bedroom with glass windows as opposed to one enclosed by concrete walls. If your room gets quite warm throughout the day, an air conditioner may be able to keep it cold. Curtains can be used to keep the room cool even when the air conditioner isn’t running.

Large bedroom

If your bedroom is huge, you’ll want a more powerful air conditioner. The master bedroom serves as an excellent illustration of a room with a reasonable amount of square footage. This is because you and your partner may be planning to have children shortly, or you may already have young children who want to sleep in the same room as you. With that many people in the room, it’s a good idea to get a more powerful air conditioner so that the room stays cool.

Be sure to consider the following factors before installing an air conditioner in a spacious bedroom:

If your home is constructed of materials that collect a lot of heat throughout the day, you’ll have to chill a large bedroom. An older house is more prone to this. If you live in a warm environment, you’ll like today’s modern homes, which may be heat-repellant.

    • Build your home inspection if you are unsure about the materials utilized. Based on their previous experiences, they may be able to tell what materials are used in your spacious bedroom. As an alternative, you can ask a technician from your preferred air conditioner manufacturer to come in and evaluate the space so they can propose the unit that would best fulfill your cooling requirements.
    • If you’re worried about the temperature in the room, consider buying a heater/cooler hybrid. Some kind of air conditioners can chill or heat depending on your needs. As an added precaution, make sure you listen to how much noise the unit makes. Some powerful air conditioners can be much noisier than others.
