There are three(3) major things to consider in buying an air conditioning unit: The room size and the cooling capacity of the unit. The table above serves as a guide on the room size and the necessary capacity of the aircondition unit, so before buying one, make sure that you know that size of the area that needs to be cooled. Choose also the size that you know would fit the window or the slot for your air conditioner so you won't have to make major changes in your wall or in your window. Before visiting a store, please get the following information; room size(LxW in meter) and aircon slot(LxW in feet)

Check on the EER or Energy efficiency ratio. This will allow you save more electricity so you want to invest on a more efficient machine. The EER number ranges from 8 12. As a rule of thumb, the higher the EER, the more energy efficient.

Think also of the design and the features. You may choose a unit that has a remote control for easy adjustment specifically if high wall installation. Also, it would be advisable to have a model that has a timer so it would automatically turn off and switch to fan mode when desired coldness is acquired. A model with a noise reduction feature would be convenient is becoming a big concern particularly among families within cities. Get an aircon unit with purifier to prevent irritants in the air that you family breathe.
