Small is Beautiful, Get a Small Air Conditioner


There are many types of air conditioners. Some of them are large while others are small. The small ones are more suitable for small rooms. There are advantages and disadvantages of having small units. Also whether you are going to have a small one or a one has to be decided on where are you going to have it and the size of the room. Another factor to consider is the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the room.

The main advantage of the small air conditioner is its low price. Instead of having one large unit you can have a few small ones. The initial cost of the small one is less and the maintenance costs are also less. Most small units do not need professionals to maintain. It is a case of taking the filter away and cleaning. If you have a big one, it is not easy to clean its ducts. These are jobs for professionals.

Another advantage of having small ones is that in case there is a break down only one room is affected. If it is a big central unit the entire house will get affected. In case of a small one when the repairman takes it away for repair he will probably fix a temporary one until the repaired one is brought back. When a big air conditioner breaks down you need to wait until the repair is complete.

The disadvantages of the small units are few. One is that the efficiency of small one is less than that of a big one. Maintenance too is more frequent with a small one compared to a big air conditioner. Normally break downs are also more frequent with the small units. Still it is good to have a few small ones rather than one big one.
