If you haven't been heated up to "walking pork belly" on this hot summer day, then I guess you must have an air conditioner that cools like magic, or you are planning to embrace such an "air-conditioning guardian". But in the face of a dazzling array of air conditioning models on the market, how can you choose the perfect partner that will not overweight your wallet and make you cool in the summer?
The four major schools in the air conditioning industry
First of all, let's understand the four main schools in the air conditioning industry: wall-mounted, cabinet-based, central air conditioning and mobile air conditioning. The wall-mounted air conditioner is like a gecko at home, living against the wall, not taking up floor space, suitable for small apartments, and the cabinet air conditioner is like a guardian beast at home, with a huge physique and rapid refrigeration, suitable for large spaces such as living rooms. The central air conditioner is the aristocracy of the nobility, quietly hidden in the ceiling, and the whole house has a constant temperature, but the installation cost is high, which is suitable for the standard configuration of luxury houses. As for mobile air conditioning, it's a summer savior for renters, but the noise and energy consumption can make you feel a little "overzealous".
Energy efficiency level: from "electricity-eating monster" to "energy-saving elf"
The energy efficiency rating of an air conditioner, in simple terms, is a measure of how "gluttonous" or "frugal" it is. Although the initial investment may be slightly higher, in the long run, the electricity bill can be saved a lot, which is suitable for you who are environmentally friendly and budget-conscious. Level 5 is the "Electricity Eating Monster", which has a good cooling effect, but the electricity bill may bring tears to your eyes. So, unless you have a mine at home, it's better to choose a second-level or higher, after all, saving money is making money!
Cooling capacity: Don't let the air conditioner become a gentle lie of "breeze blowing in your face".
The cooling capacity (usually expressed in kilowatts or horsepower) directly determines the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. If you buy a small one, the air conditioner can only whistle at you "gently", and the room is still stuffy, and if you buy a large one, it will not only waste electricity, but also may make you freeze into a popsicle. Generally speaking, about 200 watts of cooling capacity is required per square meter, but it is necessary to consider factors such as room orientation, floor, and insulation. For example, in a west-dried house, it is like an oven in summer, and the number of air conditioners at this time must be generous, so that you don't have to hold an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun at home.
Frequency conversion and fixed frequency: a contest between "flexibility" and "one tendon".
Inverter air conditioner, like a yoga master in the air conditioning industry, can automatically adjust the working frequency according to room temperature, which is both energy-saving and comfortable. The fixed-frequency air conditioner is a rectum, once turned on, you have to lower the temperature to the set value before you stop, although the price is cheap, but the power consumption and comfort are inferior. If you pursue quality of life and don't mind spending a little more money, inverter air conditioner is definitely your good partner.
Smart air conditioner: let air conditioners learn to "read words and colors"
Nowadays, air conditioners have also begun to practice the "wisdom method". Smart air conditioners can not only be remotely controlled through mobile phone apps, but also can be linked with smart home systems, such as automatically turning on and off according to your location, or adjusting indoor humidity according to outdoor weather. Imagine turning on the air conditioner in advance on the way to work and enjoying the coolness when you get home, is there a sense of happiness that "the air conditioner is more intimate than your boyfriend"?
After-sales service: don't let "cold and warm self-knowledge" become "after-sales self-blessing"
Finally, don't forget the after-sales service, the "hero behind the scenes". No matter how good the air conditioner is, there may be a headache and brain fever, at this time, a good after-sales service is like a timely rain in summer. When choosing a brand, you might as well take a look at user reviews, those brands with fast after-sales service response and good maintenance technology will make you less troubled and more at ease when the air conditioner is sick.
epilogue
All in all, buying an air conditioner is like looking for an object, not only to look online, but also to have a compatible personality and be economical. In this summer, may you find the "air-conditioner lover" who can accompany you through the scorching heat without straining you financially. Remember, it is best to choose the right one for you, don't let the air conditioner become your summer regret, but let it become a sweet witness to your cool summer!
