Which Room Air Conditioners Should You Consider?

by Jeff on January 28, 2010

If you find that all of the rooms in your house are cool apart from a few, it might just be a result of certain aspects of the composition of your home–there’s a good chance your central air conditioning unit is performing just fine. To resolve the problem, room air conditioners are a great solution, and these units will help you to keep every room in your home cool, without continually needing to run the central unit in your home. Following are several units you might want to consider.

The Kenmore 75050 is a good unit to consider, and is among the room air conditioners that will keep going for years. It is quite low-priced insofar as air conditioning units go, however it is not EnergyStar rated, and so it might expend more energy than is suggested by the EPA; it will cost about 10 percent more to operate each year. However if you do not use the system a lot, the energy output from this and your central unit may balance out. This room air conditioner does a good job of cooling down bedrooms and home offices of any size, but has mechanical dials instead of digital ones. Overall, customers are pretty pleased with this unit.

You might also want to take a look at Frigidaire for more good deals on room air conditioners. If you are trying to cool down a space that’s 200 square feet or less, this is among the best units to get. This system is EnergyStar rated, and it’s very simple to use. It has digital controls which means you can adjust the temperature with just a single touch, along with low-voltage protection that will assist you to manage fluctuations involving power surges or brownouts. Even though some consumers say that the unit is rather noisy, it is very energy efficient.

Alternative room air conditioners that you may want to look into include the LP6000ER by LG. This company is recognized for creating reasonably priced electronics that are made from quality materials, and its air conditioning unit is no exception. The profile of this unit is slender, so it won’t hinder as much natural brightness from coming into a room, and the digital display makes this one of the room air conditioners that’s very simple to control. As well, this equipment has auto-restart, which means it will start working automatically after there is a power outage.

There are also portable air conditioning units that you can buy for your house or office from good companies like Haier or Sunpentown; these room air conditioners are somewhat smaller than typical room units, and you can transport them anywhere.

In many parts of the world, the weather changes so drastically from winter to summer that both heating and air conditioning equipment are essential for any residence. Find out more at the Residential Air Conditioning site.
