Heating and cooling are two kinds of activity that can spend a lot of money for paying the energy bill all around the year. Therefore, there are now many manufactures that offer their new heating & cooling products with newest technology (more efficient). Unfortunately, this situation also can make you be confused on how to choose the right one of them that meets to your requirements! However, there are some crucial issues that you have to consider carefully when choosing and installing air conditioner. Ignoring those issues can make your air conditioning unit that you have purchased and installed cannot work at the optimum efficiency performance that eventually will bring bad effect to your finance (paying more money for the monthly energy bill).

It is undeniable that budget has a significant contribution on how you choose and buy the right one. With adequate budget, you can purchase and install a unit that is designed with newest technology and can work more efficient. Regardless to the price tags, below are other crucial factors and issues that also must be prioritized when selecting and installing an air conditioning unit!

1. First is BTUs size! It is so crucial factor that so closely related to the large of the area that will be cooled! Perhaps you have opinion that higher size is better! This is wrong opinion. Wrong size (lower or over size) will make the unit cannot work properly and efficiently that eventually will make the unit not last longer. Calculating the right size is so important for all types of air conditioners (window AC models, portable AC models, and central AC models).
2. After knowing the right BTUs size that you must choose, then move to the consideration of energy efficiency. This point can be influenced by the technology of the unit itself and the environment. If your budget permits, it is better to choose unit that is designed with higher value of SEER or EER rating and also has Energy Star approval. For better result, you can also install a proper insulation system in the room. And if you care to the environment and want to participate to decrease the Freon pollutant (can cause Ozone depletion), there are now available air conditioners that use eco-friendly r410a refrigerant.
3. As well we know, the correct installation is so important and closely related to the efficiency performance of the unit. If you want to install a new central AC system, it is better to hire a professional HVAC contractor in your local area. Make sure you choose the right one of HVAC contractors. And if you want to buy window AC unit or portable AC unit, make sure they are real practical appliance that can be installed easily and practically by yourself.
4. Consider the durability as well! This issue usually can be analyzed from consumer testimonials, brand, and warranty.
5. Don’t forget to consider the noise when the unit is running. This is so important, especially if you have a plan to install the unit in the bedroom or office room. In addition, mostly, central air conditioners are relatively quieter than window or portable air conditioning units.
6. The last, check the features, particularly features that are actually needed, because those features also can be related to the price tag of a unit.

In addition, there are also available portable AC rentals if you have a wedding party or birthday party in the summer.
