Reduce Your Cooling Cost By Following Tips
The electric bill of a central or window air conditioning system can be reduced effectively following the bellow mentioned energy saving tips.
A window or central air conditioner will be bought according to the size of the room,the number of people live in that room,the number of windows facing weather south or north which affect in producing heat in the room.If the air conditioning unit is too big as compared to the room than it will work hard and cost you more
When you will buy an air conditioning unit you should look for higher EER number for reducing the electric cost.Higher EER number air conditioning unit will cost you more but it will pay for itself within one or two years by reducing electric cost.You should buy an air conditioning unit with EER number 13 or more for better performance in hot climate.
Proper maintainace is must for better performance of an air conditioning unit.So a professional sevice is requred at the biginning of each cooling season.And also the filter of the air conditioner should be replaced or cleaned for getting fresh air.
In our home cooling units are one of the largest consumer of electricity.So if you have an air conditioning unit less than 8 EER number you must replace it by higher EER containing air conditioning unit . It will cost you more but within few years it will reduce the electric bill than the previous one.
Try to avoid cook for a long time because it produces heat in the room.If we produce heat in the room the air conditioner will take more electricity to run.So we have to cook anoter seperated room which is totally insulated from air conditioning unit.
The plants around the house you live help to reduce the heat on your room.So if you want to keep your home cool you have to put drapes around the window.
Another effective process to keep your room cool is the use of window tint.Window tint obstructs sunlight to pass through the window.The dark color of a home absorb more sunlight than a bright color.So bright color should be used to keep the home cool.And thus the electric cost of the air conditioning unit can be reduced up to 30% by keeping the room cool.
Any devices that produce heat such as computer,heater,television should not be used randomly.It should should be stopped when there ther is no nesesity

How BTU is Related With The Area Of Room?
The price of a room air conditioner depends upon the BTU quantity.Generally small room needs low BTU capacity and large room needs higher BTU capacity.For example a small room (150 to 300 square feet),select an air conditioner of 5000 to 8000 BTU/hour.For a large room (600 to 1000 square feet) 10,000 to 15,000 BTU/hour is suitable.In the above consumption the height of the room is considered as a standard measure.If the room is not completely insulated,the height of the ceiling is very high and it is situated at south faces window,the BTU capacity of the air conditioner will be extended up to 10% probably.It should be clear to everyone that if we use lower BTU capacity in a large room,the air conditioner will turn off and on around a long time decreasing the efficiency.Again if we use air conditioner in a south facing window room,the air conditioner take more time to cool down the room.So in this case larger BTU capacity containing air conditioner should be used for lowering the electric cost.
An Air Conditioner Can Do More Than Just Cool A Room
We generally know that an air conditioner can only just cool a room.But this is quite wrong now a days as many latest technology are being added to air conditioning system for their multiple performance.In many air conditioning system built in humidifier are added for summer season.Humidifier increase the humidity at a comfortable label of a enclosed room.On the other hand a built in dehumidifier is added to an air conditioner to decrease the humidity of the enclosed room.Some models can also serve as an electric heater for warming a room.So an air conditioning system can be used in all seasons if it has the above thee characteristics.Electrostatic filter is a latest invention in recent years which can remove not only small dust particle but also micro bacteria from the air.Thus this air conditioning system provide fresh air which is realy favourable for allergy effected people.
Ten Important Tips For Buying An Air Condition
Why should you buy an air condition?
An air conditioner is used in home or office to keep the air cooled or hot for our comfort.If your old unit has EER less than 8 than it should be replaced by a new one which has higher EER.Generally in summer season when the temperature is very high the price of air conditioner become so high that it remains beyond our hand.So spring is considered as a suitable time for buying an air conditioner as many companies offer rebates for the consumer.
What type of air conditioner should you buy?
Generally there are four common forms of air conditioner which are portable air conditioner,bed air conditioner,window air conditioner and central air conditioner.Portable air conditioners are light in weight ,easily get fitted on any place of the room and provides maximum cooled air to the place where it is situated.Window air conditioners are fitted on windows and provide cooled air to nearby rooms as it is named. Central air conditioners are usually used for commercial purpose in office or in big shopping complex to cool the entire bulding.
The feature that you need
While buying an air conditioner the feature of the air conditioner should be good so that it can have a longer life and energy efficience.The themostat shuould be adjustable,the filter should be electrostatic so that it can remove dust particle or even becteria from the air for fresh air.The filter should also be easily accessible for cleanning and for the removal of various dast.There should be at least 5 or 6 years warranty for the air conditioner which will be bought.And at least 1 year directly replacement offer shuould be given.
The capacity of cooling or BTU you need
BTU reffers to British Thermal Unit Per Hour which provide that how an air conditioner is capable of cooling.The higher amount of BTU reffers to the higher amount of ability to cool the air.If the size of the room is high the longer BTU contained air conditioner have to be used.
The capacity of the air conditioner depends not only on the room size bu also the following factors-
1.number of people
2.position of room
3.faces of room etc.
Number of EER
EER or Energy Efficiency Rating is the ratio of BTU per hour to that of the amount of energy imported in watts.It can also be defined as how efficient the air conditioner is.So it is now clear that the higher number of EER the better quality of an air conditioner.

Central Air Conditioner
A cental air conditioner provides cooled and dehumidified air through ducts in many rooms of a bulding or in all rooms.Sometimes it is rented for a particular time of the year due to it's high cost.So it is generally rented in summer to keep cool the entire bulding.While renting or buying a central air conditioning system you should decide weather some particular room orthe whole bulding is to be cooled.Typical split system air conditioner are most popular among the models.A central air conditioning system consist of several units which are inter connected to each other.The central air conditioning units are set to the outside poryion of the wall and the output units are set to the inside wall or in the ceiling.The whole home can also be cooled by duct system where the central unit is fitted on the outside wall and the ducts are fitted on ceiling or in the inside of the room.The cost of a duct system depends upon the size of the unit and the number of the rooms to be cooled.
At last one should be remembered that it should be properly used due to it's high renting cost and maintainace cost.Thats why it is utilized more efficiently than other air conditioner.

What is an air conditioner?
An air conditioner is a system or mechanism by which heat of a place can be extracted through refrigeration cycle.It is a mechanical device which is largely used in home,car or shopping complex for giving comfortable temperature.
Generally heat flows from higher temperature region to lower temperature region.In an air conditioner the direction of heat become opposite by the healp of heat pump.An air conditioner is generally consist of a condenser,an evaporator and a compressor.When refrigerant is pumped in evaporator it convert itself into vapour.At this time refrigerant absorbs heat from the room air due to a temperature differance between refrigerator and room air.This heated vapour is compressed by a compressor driven by an ellectric motor and convert itself into liquid phase.Due to temperature differance between the liquid and environment liquid leaves heat to the environment and again it is prepared to go through evaporator.This is the simple discription of the working function of an air conditioner.
