There are umpteen number of choices available in the market. With a flood of features and claims, each air conditioner seems to be the right one. So, how do you figure out the best one? Through this article we throw light on some of the factors you must consider before you select the right air conditioner for your home. 

Type of Air conditioner

The first and foremost is to consider what type of air conditioner you want. There are many models of air conditioners but can be basically divided into three main types

• Window air conditioner
• Floor standing air conditioner
• Split air conditioners

Here is a small peek into the difference amongst the types.

Window air conditioners are mounted in the window area. Popular once upon a time, these air conditioners are more or less out of fashion in the market because of its limited efficiency.

Free standing air conditioners are portable and can be moved from place to place. The disadvantage of the air conditioners is that they are not powerful enough to cool an entire space. 

Split air conditioners are now the more popular type. The system comes with two units with one unit being placed outside the house. These air conditioners are efficient, powerful and have energy saving features.

So, given the differences amongst the different types of air conditioners, iit is more likely that you will choose the split air conditioner type for your home needs. 

Capacity

The next feature to consider before you invest in a split air conditioner is the capacity of the air conditioner.

Air conditioners come in varying capacities and the air conditioner you choose will be directly proportional to the size of your space. You can use this guide to decide what you need:

• 180 to 240 Sq Ft space- 2 Ton
