If you need to cool two or three rooms then you should definitely go for a window air conditioner. Because the initial cost of window air conditioner is low and is usable to long time with less maintenance cost. To buying an energy efficient room air conditioner you have to be familiar with a term called EER. EER may be defined as how many BTUs are required to cool a room using one watt of electricity. So everyone should buy room air conditioner having higher EER. The higher the EER value the higher the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

While choosing a room air conditioner you must have to meet the exact amount of BTUs for the required space. If BTUs become more then the required amount then your cooling space will be dummy. On the other hand if BTUs become less then the required amount then the air conditioner will loss more electricity to cool the space and work overtime. So its an important factor to be considered while buying a room air conditioner.
