Why I Dumped My Central Air Conditioner For A Window Unit

By Pete Demuth


Have you suffered through a heat wave with no air conditioning? If you have, you know that it can be a completely miserable experience. But who wants to spend all that cash on a central air conditioner? The unit itself is costly, but you will also need to cover an untidy and complicated installation. You do have an option, however. For a few hundred dollars, you can invest in a window a/c unit that will keep you cool all summer long.

A window a/c rests on the windowsill of one of your windows. As a result, it can only keep that room cool. Many people opt to position the window air conditioner devices in a window in the living room to make sure that the entire household can take advantage of the coolness. Other people prefer to keep the window air conditioning system in their bedroom in order to keep cool during the course of those sizzling and muggy nights.

We were amazed by the savings! While we did need to invest a little bit in the 3 devices, we got a good deal on them and only invested $500. My spouse and I invested one-half of a Saturday installing the window air conditioners in the windows. We didn't need to shell out money for any messy or pricey installation. This was a really easy Do It Yourself job. One of the very best advantages of switching to window air conditioners was that we could only cool one specific room at a time. Throughout the day, when we just weren't in our bedroom we just didn't run the ac unit. This helped us trim our electrical power costs tremendously.

Other features that are common in window air conditioners include remote controls, several fan speeds, and louvers that enable you to direct the air exactly where you really want it. Most window air conditioners also include an installation kit so that you can secure the unit to your window.

For our living-room, we bought a somewhat larger window device. This 14,000 BTU air conditioning unit was able to easily cool 500 ft. in our living room.The window air conditioning unit that we went with in the living-room also included a push-button control, which was really handy when I needed to change the speed from the kitchen.

Buying a window air conditioning unit can be one of the smartest money moves that you make this summer season. Do some research and see if this is a money-saving method you can put to use.
