When deciding which air conditioner is the best for you, there are many factors and features that must be taken into account to assess the quality of an air conditioner.
In this article we will give you the keys to know how to choose a good air conditioner that suits what you really need. Taking into account the surface to be cooled and the number of rooms that are going to have an air conditioner is decisive in choosing the right model.
However, almost all models also have a silence option, also called sleep, which consists of the air conditioning progressively reducing the power of the air and at the same time reducing noise, which drops to less than 20 dB. Turn it on during bedtime and you will enjoy a quiet night as well as a comfortable temperature.
Air conditioning equipment, as energy consuming devices, must display an energy label indicating its level of energy efficiency, with a rating in colors and letters from A++ for the most efficient to G for the most energy they consume. The energy rating is determined through the SEER. Since January 1, 2013, the SEER is used as a measure of the energy efficiency of an equipment and therefore it is this coefficient that determines a certain energy rating based on the range where it is located. This regulation establishes the eco-design requirements for air conditioners with a thermal input ≤ 12 kW. One of the novelties of this regulation was the energy rating of equipment based on seasonal energy efficiency, hence its name is Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER). For their calculation, the following parameters are considered
This gives a more realistic measure of consumption and its efficiency. In fact, it is not true that the equipment works at 100% every day. The consumption of the equipment when it is turned off or on standby is also evaluated. This factor is also very relevant in real conditions and is often called phantom consumption.
SEER Equivalent Values Factors Influencing SEER Value
An air conditioner with 3 kW of thermal power with a SEER of 8.5 (A+++) will give us 0.35 kWh of consumed power in one hour. (3 kW / 8.5= 0.35 kWh) In AMPLUS AC we work only with equipment that meets SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) energy efficiency requirements. The minimum standard SEER for air conditioners is 13, though most modern air conditioners have a SEER that ranges from 13 to 21. We work with brands as Trane which offers air conditioners range from 14.5 SEER up to 22 SEER
