How to choose an AC unit that’s right for your home?
One of the main issues when picking an air conditioner is power. Meaning how much power and what size will work to keep the right temperature in your home. Plus, whether a window unit or central is better for your needs.
Here are some things to consider:
- Window units are cheaper and easier to install
- Central air systems can also function for heating purposes
- Central air require professional installation and more work usually
When it comes to power these references may help:
