Summer is just around the corner and, while it is still not time to switch on the Air conditioner, it is probably time to think about getting a new one or servicing your old air conditioner.  With multiple Air conditioners options available in the market, it is often difficult to choose which one to go with. Our expert ac repair & maintenance experts have compiled a list of things you should do so that you get the best deal.

Here is a list suggested by our AC Repair and Maintenance specialists

Type of AC

Window Air-conditioner

If you have a big room with a large window you can consider installing this type of Air conditioner.  However, it is good that you know other pre-requisites that are required to purchase and install this type of air conditioner. Window air conditioners require more space to fit in the room. Your air condition installation professional may ask you to make your windows large for installation purposes. Most households earlier choose window Air conditioners as they distribute the air evenly and are known to work longer than spit Ac.

Split Air Conditioners

Split AC’s are small and easy to install. They do not require large real estate and can be fixed just above the window. These Air Conditioners come in a range of sizes to complete the commercial and household Ac demands.

Tonnage

Tonnage refers to the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.  It is important to choose an AC with the right tonnage for your room.

HomeSurf’s AC repair experts have simplified the process for you –

• 100 sq. feet Room: Buy 0.8 ton Ac
• 150 sq. feet Room: Buy 1ton Ac
• Up to 250 sq. feet Room: Buy 1.5 ton Ac
• Up to 400 sq. feet Room: Buy 2 ton Ac

Efficiency

Energy Efficiency plays a huge factor while deciding on which Air conditioner to purchase. You would want an Air conditioner that consumes the least amount of electricity and provides the most cooling. The (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) BEE has standardized the efficiency of an AC by giving it a star rating. The higher the rating the more efficient it is and the lesser energy it will consume.

Installation, Repair & Maintenance

Do not try and install the AC yourself if you do not have prior knowledge. It is always advisable to get air conditioning installation and repair company to get your AC installed. Some AC’s need very little repair and maintenance, while some Air conditioners need constant servicing and repair. While making your purchase, ask your dealer about these issues before. Do make sure to check with your dealer beforehand about the services and maintenance of the AC.   

Multipurpose

With newer technology coming in air conditioners usually serve multiple purposes. Advanced features such as auto-restart, wifi facility, control from the outdoor, automatic temperature adjustment etc are available, 4-way swing, mosquito safe and much more.  However, concentrate first on the key elements of the air conditioner.

Air Quality

No matter which AC you choose, if it does not improve air quality, it does not serve its purpose. Air conditioners should have clean filters at all times to trap smoke, unpleasant odour and impurities. For old air conditioners make sure to contact a professional ac repair service for an annual clean up.  A bad filter might affect your family’s health and cause long term damage.  

Condenser

An Air conditioner’s life capacity is dependent on its condenser and coils. Currently. there are two types of condensers being used in Air Conditioners – Copper & Aluminum.  Aluminium condensers are cheaper but require more maintenance and repair. Our AC Repair and maintenance professionals tell us that the shelf life of a copper condenser is far more than an aluminium one. This is why we suggest that you go for a slightly expensive copper condenser that has a longer shelf life and the ac requires less maintenance.

Additional features

An Air conditioner is a complex piece of machinery that requires seasonal servicing by professionals. Look for a reputed brand that has a good aftersales and quality of service.
