The Benefits of a Wall Mount Air Conditioner
The type or air conditioner you select will have a lasting effect on your family’s lifestyle, so choosing a wall mount air conditioner could be the ideal choice for many households. The wall mount air conditioner will not block much needed light and air flow coming from a window. Thieves will not find it easy to enter your home through a window with a traditional air conditioner installed. Instead, you will have your cool air coming from a wall unit that gives you up to up to 18,000 BTU’s per hour.
Is it easy to fit a wall mount air conditioner
A wall mount air conditioner requires a few additional installation steps than a window unit, but it does not need to be stored in the winter and it does not create an easy entry for thieves. It does require a wall that faces the outside with no electrical wires or plumbing running through it. It cannot be a brick, concrete or stone wall. It needs to be siding or some other easily penetrated house covering. The installation of the wall mount air conditioner requires access to the outside. Install the unit near a 115 volt of
230 volt outlet so it can be plugged in very close to the unit.
The wall mount air conditioner works by operating two fans which blow air through cold and hot coils filled with refrigerant. After the refrigerant is condensed into liquid form by the hot coils, it goes through an expansion valve and is evaporated. When this takes place a cold gas is created which absorbs the warm air from the outside and it then cools the air. When the air is cooled it is blown into the room and the occupants get the benefit of enjoying the cooler more comfortable temperatures.
The wall mount air conditioner can adjust the temperature quickly, because it has a heat exchanger with a wide suction area. It has a sweeping airflow which eliminates dead zones and increases the cooling effect. It also has trapezoid blades which cut the air in diagonal motion, minimizing air resistance and it also reduces the noise level.
A wall mount air conditioner does not reduce the view of a window or limit its ability to be opened to allow the air to flow through the home. It does not provide a greater opportunity for would-be thieves to enter the home. It is less expensive than central air to install but very effective. Some wall mount air conditioners can cool an entire home and are capable of cooling very large rooms. The extra work involved in the installation of a wall mount air conditioner is more than compensated for by the continued use of this innovation that many homeowners enjoy today.
