How to choose a split system

Before buying a split system, think about what parameters of the room, external and internal factors should be considered when choosing an air conditioning system.

First of all, calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, which will be undergoing air conditioning. In the article "How to calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe room" Describes methods for calculations for rooms of the correct and improper form. The required power of the air conditioner depends on the size of the room. For example, if the room has an area of \u200b\u200b30 m², then the power of the split system must be at least 3 square meters. If there is a lot of equipment in the room that heats the air, there is a large number of people or the ceiling higher than 2.5 m, then it is worth it to take a more powerful system - up to 4 square meters. Determine where the air conditioner will be installed, how much space you can allocate it.

The difference between ordinary air conditioning and inverton is as follows:

an ordinary air conditioner after reaching the specified air temperature in the room is disabled, inverter - transfers to a less powerful mode to maintain the temperature;
inverton split systems are more expensive, while saving electricity, but the payback period of such systems is about 10 years;
noise level in conventional air conditioners above;
sleeping rooms are best to install an inverter system that does not allow temperature differences;
repair and maintenance of ordinary air conditioners are cheaper than their inverter options.

Acceptable temperature is not the only figure of comfort. Pay attention to the characteristic "noise level of the indoor unit", it should not exceed 21 dB. All split systems with such parameters inverter. In some models of Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Daikin air conditioners, the noise level is somewhat less than 21 dB. Although the difference in 5-10 dB is not felt.

Do not buy a cheap air conditioner, orient at an average market price on air conditioning systems. In addition to the difference in prices for each manufacturer, the cost of the air conditioner can significantly increase due to the presence of additional functions and devices that are not always so effective as advertising says, but in case of breakdown, the cost of repair is much higher:

Ionization of air for cleansing from microbes.
Sensor for the presence of people in the room, if necessary, the power of the air conditioner.
Superior filter that should be changed once a month.

Recently, a multi-split-system advertising is increasingly appearing: internal blocks of several rooms are connected to one external block. This option is advisable when there is no possibility to install an external unit for each room on the facade of the building. However, the cost of the multi-air conditioner and its installation is significantly higher. In addition, if the only external unit fails, then all internal blocks will not work.

Additional Split System Parameters:

Weight and sizes - than they are more, the better the air conditioner, because Many manufacturers try to create a compact model, saving on heat exchangers and compressors, on which the efficiency of the operation of the SCB depends.
If the external block is made of plastic, then the housing can be deformed and spoiled due to the effects of large solar temperatures and emissions. Metal case is more practical.
Warranty repair, its conditions and availability of the service center.
All external movable parts should open without a screen, the radiator must be completely covered with filters.

We offer to take advantage of manufacturers:

If the name of the manufacturer is not widely known, pay attention to the range: than it is wider (the presence of channel, cassette, follow-up and other models), the more trust deserves the goods.
Conditioners are considered more reliable, which are released in Thailand, European countries or Malaysia.
SKV Carrier and Gree Panasonic, produced at China's factories, are quite reliable, but at the same time cheaper.
Visit the official sites of the manufacturers of SLE: "LIFE'S GOOD", "Whirlpool", "Samsung", "Panasonic".

Buy a split system in large household appliances stores that can afford a wide range of models of different manufacturers, as well as promotional offers at discounted prices.
