[seoxeee]

Air conditioners have changed a lot over the years and some do a whole lot more تصليح مكيفات ابوظبي  just cool the air as some may think! Here is a quick list that separates the must-have features from the gimmicky bells and whistles. There are a lot of decisions to be made when buying an air conditioner. This article is Part 1 of 2 on Air Conditioner Features and How to Buy and Air Conditioner

Chassis Type - If you're looking to buy a room unit, you should know right off the bat that there are fixed and slide-out chassis types:

Fixed chasses are the most popular and are typically lighter and are installed and removed seasonally. They are what you think of when you think of a typical window air conditioner.
A slide-out chassis is usually found on through-the-wall units and operate through a wall sleeve, although they, too, can be sometimes used in window applications. With a slide out-chassis is that owner is to perform maintenance or replacement of their window air conditioner more easily.
BTU Output - This is an ac's cooling capacity. Selecting the proper amount of BTU output for your space is crucial in order to ensure an air conditioner's peak performance potential is met. Too powerful a unit won't dehumidify properly and an underpowered unit will struggle to perform its job. Most units will tell you outright how much square footage they can handle, but these usually round up a 1,000 - 2,000 BTUs in the interest of ensuring profits and making sure a company brand isn't embarrassed by seeming 'underpowered.' A lot of people ask outright "What size air conditioner do I need?" Indeed, there are a lot of things to consider here, which are detailed in Part 2 of this series.
Energy Star Rating - AC units must be at least 10% more energy efficient than the minimum federal government standards to qualify for this certification. While at smaller cooling capacities (5,000 to 6,000 BTUs), this doesn't really make a huge impact in the upfront premium paid vs the ongoing operating costs, it does save you money at larger cooling capacities.

Warranty - This is one most basic must-have air conditioner features. Basic logic here is that if a manufacturer will not stand behind their product, why should you? Simply put, don't buy any air conditioner that has a lackluster warranty attached to it. The absolute bare bones minimum you should look for is a 1 year full unit warranty including parts an labor.
