The weather always gets tricky in Nepal, so rather than having different appliances for different weather, an Air Conditioner can solve that hassle. Well, usually the Air Conditioner is considered just for cooling but AC actually does much more than that. AC could include humidifying or dehumidifying, it can work both as a cooler and heater, and it also purifies the air. Thankfully, Midea ACs have become a lot more affordable and even more efficient in these times.
But, choosing the right AC needs the proper knowledge of what kind of AC is suitable for your space. There are so many different types of AC and it is hard to know which one is the best for you. We will guide you through buying an air conditioner, the types and their function and the capacity along with the benefits and tips on how one should buy the best AC in the budget. This AC buying guide can make it easier for you to choose the best AC for yourself.
Let's get started with the types of AC.
Types of AC
Well, generally there are two kinds of AC, Window AC and Split AC.
WINDOW ACs
They are pretty large since it has every component inside a single chassis. These ACs are also known as monoblocks for this very reason. These types of AC ideally require about 9-12 inch thick walls. A thinner wall may require an additional support structure, which will be necessary, or you’re better off looking for a thicker wall.
SPLIT ACS
Split ACs are the improved version of Window ACs, split ACs are made by separating the compressor and heat dispensing coils into an external unit that sits outside your home. Split AC also comes in different ranges, in-ceiling cassette, multi-head, wall mounted all of which come in both inverter and non-inverter types.
The basic differences of Window AC and Midea Split AC can be highlighted as below.
