AC Installation Edison NJ, Read This Before Purchasing Your Appliance

By Lelia Hall


An air conditioner is the appliance that you need to keep your office or home indoor temperatures cool during times of unbearable temperatures. Since there are several types of AC with tens of brands for each type, it may be difficult to select the right one. What is good for your Edison NJ home or office? Read through the article for things you need to know before AC installation Edison NJ is done.

The cheapest and the smallest air con is a standalone or a monoblock system. However, it can only be used to cool specific areas in the house. It could cool your closet during a hot summer afternoon. You do not need to install the system but just plug in into power and start it on. On the downside, it could break down fast and make lots of noise.

You could also use a wall, window or ceiling mounted AC. One side of the air con is fixed on these surfaces while the other is put on the outside. They work best when used in single rooms but tend to be a little noisier. Their installation requires a certified installer and so is their maintenance.

For more efficient cooling, a split air conditioner is better. Its able to cool up to two rooms efficiently. It has an outside component that compresses the air into the internal cooler. It is reliable and quiet but cannot be used in places where multiple rooms require air conditioning.

For more than two rooms, a multi-split air system AC would be better. It works the same as the split air AC except that it comes with more units and a powerful compressor on the outside. It is more expensive and requires professional routine maintenance to work properly. Its cost depends on the number of units you choose to install.

For very large houses, having a single system is preferable. A centralized system comes in handy. It is housed in a room and air pushed to other rooms by use of ducts. It is easy to operate and can be manipulated remotely. It is also quiet and very efficient in its operation. You can configure when it conditions a room, at what temperature different from other rooms. Its cost vary with the size of the building in which it is to be installed.

Look at the warranty statement for different brands before purchase. There are different terms and lengths of a warranty depending on the product and the location of your building. There are those manufacturers only replace the broken parts but charge for the labor. Others may invalidate your warranty if you fail to maintain your appliance regularly. Understand these terms before settling on a particular brand.

Likewise, be very keen on the contractor that you hire to install your AC. You may use manufacturer trained and certified dealers but where they are not available, any other competent installer would do. One of the most respected professional organizations is Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). You may also select ones certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE). Ask for a few quotes and compare everything from clarity, guarantee to cost. Pick the best and sign a contract with them to install your appliance.
