Know The Energy Consumption Of Your Air Conditioning

Oct. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- If you are considering purchasing air conditioning you should assess the energy consumption of the system.  Energy labeling is seen on consumer goods like washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers, and of course the same applies to air conditioning units.

Air conditioning units have an electrical efficiency rating or EER in cooling and a co-efficiency of performance CoP in heating, and a typical standard on average of 3.5 EER and 4CoP.  To make sense of this for the layman they give off 3.5kw of cooling and 4kw of heat to 1kw of electricity.

There are many different types of systems and all have different EER and CoP, it will depend on the type of manufacturer, the type of system and the configuration, and this can all be provided by the supplier in a quotation.

Buying air conditioning in the UK can be a difficult decision for most home owners and businesses.  There are many factors to take into consideration, not just the price of the initial installation.

A professional air conditioning company will provide a quality design service, which of course will offer you the ability to understand what you are getting, which when you are spending a large amount of money is paramount.

A professional supplier will provide information of the heating and cooling loads of the room or rooms, cost of the system to match the client’s budget, ease of installation for minimal disruption, air flow distribution to maximize comfort for the occupants, and more importantly the running costs.

The cost is always the main consideration for any home owner or business, just remember you pay for what you get, and with a rock bottom price you may get rock bottom quality.  Always use a professional company to ensure that the installation is carried out by qualified and experienced engineers who work to industry standards.

The comfort of the occupants is all important to a satisfactory installation of an air conditioner; after all you use air conditioning to make an environment comfortable.  A comfortable temperature range for humans is 21 to 25 degrees Celsius, and usually found that 21 for males, and 25 for females is the norm, professionals will advise to set the temperature at around 23 as the average.

A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists said “not many people know that all air conditioning systems installed by Climachill offer energy efficient heating, we use heat pump technology which means that the system can be run in reverse, to explain further, when the system is run in heating mode the refrigerant flows the opposite way so it absorbs free heat from the outdoor unit and transfers it to the indoor unit and then dispersed into the room. If you want energy efficient heating then seriously consider having an air conditioner installed by Climachill, and of course the added bonus is being cool in the summer”.  

Every single person has an obligation to carbon emissions reduction and to strive to reduce them where we can.  Saving on electrical consumption not only saves the consumer money, but reduces your carbon emissions.  Furthermore there are many products, services and options to consider reducing both electrical consumption and carbon emissions.
