County Electrics & Air Conditioning

Whilst infrastructural and environmental parameters may not be possible, consider the following tips:

Efficiency considerations:

• Sarked roofing provides the best hot climate insulation
• Insulated flooring reduces the cool air transferring downwards
• Install the head unit as high on the wall as possible
• Install the head unit adjacent to the warmest part of a room
• Correctly chose the power capacity of a unit to suit the room
• Do not overdrive your system, it can freeze the head unit and reduce efficiency
• Regularly clean your head filter from dust and residue
• Install a stove exhaust unit if the air conditioner is near the kitchen
• Install the compressor as close to the head unit as possible
• Install the compressor in a position to draw the cool air into the unit

Environmental considerations:

• Consider the condensation caused by cool dry air on humid climates
• Humans are warm blooded 37C heat generating organisms
• Modern plasma televisions and PCs generate a lot of heat
• Avoid positioning the airflow of the head unit at locations where you sit or sleep

Choosing the unit:

• Buy the best quality air conditioner when cooling a large room
• Chose to air condition a smaller room if budget is restrictive
• Chose an inverter if the unit will operate for long periods and in the evenings
• Chose to use two smaller units than one large one for very large rooms
