Are you looking for the perfect window type aircon this summer?
There is no better way to beat the heat than getting that window type air conditioner installed in your homes. But with the countless brands and types of these cooling units available in the market, how do you exactly know which is which? Worry no more because we made the choosing easier.
Here’s the nitty-gritty on buying the best window type AC for Philippine homes.
R-32 Eco-friendly Refrigerant
The R-32 is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant that can save you money and protect the earth’s ozone layer.
R-32 is the latest refrigerant that has been recognized by environmentalists, scientists and HVACR engineers to be the most effective cooling medium for conveying heat. R-32 can significantly reduce the cost of electricity consumption by up to 10% when compared to other air conditioning units that are using refrigerant R-22. Likewise, R-32 as opposed to other refrigerants like R-22 and R-410A, has the least global warming potential (GWP). R-32 GWP is 30% much lower as opposed to the existing refrigerants (R-22 and R-410A) in the temperature control market. R-32 has less environmental impact with significant reduction in global warming. Consumers can now save money and protect the environment at the same time.
So when choosing a window type aircon for your home, office or commercial establishment, ensure that you are buying an R-32 Refrigerant air conditioner.
What Features to Look For
Having an air-conditioning unit can surely make a great impact on your electricity bill so choosing the most energy-efficient one can cut back on your costs. Here are four of the features you should check when canvassing for the perfect window type aircon.
- Sleep Setting
With a sleep setting, the unit switches to low values when the homeowners are sleeping, making the unit less noisy and the air more comfortable and convenient for sleep.
- Easy-to-access Filters
Filters that are easily accessible for maintenance can lengthen the life span of the unit.
- Electronic Control
Controlling the temperature by degrees is a great flexibility to the users.
- Timer
You can set the time when to turn on/off the unit to help you save cost and energy.
What Size of Window Type Aircon to Buy
It may not be very obvious to you, but determining the size of your window type aircon is the most crucial decision you will ever have to make. When selecting the appropriate size of window type aircon you want to install in your homes, the first consideration should not be the size of the window where it will be installed, rather the size of the room. Choosing a size too small for the room will be insufficient to cool the whole area by itself. Meanwhile, picking a unit too big will do a better job of cooling the room quickly but will not be very cost-efficient since the bigger the unit is, the more energy it consumes. Aside from that, a large aircon in a small room will only cause more humidity in the air and will make it feel more uncomfortable than before.
To know the proper size of your unit, you may need a little geometry to figure out your room size. If you have a regularly shaped rectangle or square room, simply multiply the length of the room by its width. For triangular rooms, your room size is half of the product of the length and the width. If you do have odd-shaped rooms that are neither squares nor triangles, you can divide the rooms into regular shapes that are easier to calculate and just add the products. In case you do have any contact with your house’s engineer/architect, you may just ask them for the floor area of that specific room so you wouldn’t need to do the math.
Once you have the accurate room size, you can now proceed to note the actual cooling capacity (in BTU) needed for your aircon. The table below shows the area where you want your units installed and its corresponding cooling capacity.
Recommended Table
AREA | BTU | |
Sq.Ft | Sq.Ft | |
70 | 100 | 5000 |
85 | 125 | 6000 |
100 | 150 | 7000 |
115 | 170 | 8000 |
130 | 190 | 9000 |
145 | 210 | 10000 |
175 | 250 | 12000 |
200 | 290 | 14000 |
260 | 375 | 18000 |
300 | 440 | 21000 |
330 | 480 | 23000 |
360 | 520 | 25000 |
400 | 580 | 28000 |
520 | 750 | 36000 |
There are also several other factors to consider to determine the most accurate cooling capacity you need, such as:
- Sunlight
When the room comes in direct sunlight or is considerably sunny during the day, add another 10% to the cooling capacity.
- Shade
Otherwise, if the room is heavily shaded, decrease the capacity by 10%.
- Ceiling
If you have ceilings higher than the normal 8 feet, it is advisable to increase your cooling capacity.
- Kitchen Area
Add another 4,000 BTU to your cooling capacity if the unit will be installed in the kitchen.
- Number of Room Occupants
If the regular occupants of the room are more than 2, increase the capacity by 600 BTU for each additional person.
- Climate
Warmer climates like the Philippines may need an aircon with higher BTU output.
