Things to consider before buying an AC

The Dhaka Times Desk As the heat is falling, the demand for AC is increasing. No one wants to suffer in summer, especially in the current era. So you can buy AC immediately. But before buying AC, some things need to be taken care of. Know the things.

It is getting so hot that movement has become unbearable. So many people decide to buy AC to survive this summer. But AC should not be bought immediately. Today's report is about the things to keep in mind when choosing which ACT is right for your home. Let's find out.

The AC that you buy is inverter technology AC?

Inverter technology is currently ruling the AC market. However, if the power goes out, this technology will be of no use. Normally the AC compressor is running at full capacity all the time. When the room is cool enough, the compressor stops. When the room warms up, the compressor turns on at full speed again. But in inverter technology AC, the compressor is always on. The capacity increases and decreases as needed and keeps the room cool as needed. Because of this naturally inverter technology AC saves electricity.

Split or window AC to buy?

First of all you have to think which type of AC to buy split or window. Split AC can be installed anywhere in the wall of the house. And the AC compressor will be installed outside the room. This reduces the chance of compressor noise entering. Moreover, the price of split AC is also a little less. On the other hand, if you install Undo AC, the window of your room may also be closed. Then if the AC is off, the possibility of light and air entering the room is reduced.

AC capacity must be ensured

AC capacity is an important consideration before buying an AC. ACs of different capacities are sold in the market starting from one ton. Capacity means how much heat the AC will take out in one hour. A ton AC works well for a 150 square foot (12 by 12 feet) room. A 200-250 square feet room will require 2 tons of AC to keep it cool. But one thing is that the floor and temperature of your house should also be taken into consideration in choosing the AC capacity.
