Through the Wall Air Conditioners

Through the Wall Air Conditioners

Through the wall air conditioners are self-contained units that can keep one or two rooms in your home cool and comfortable all year round. While wall air conditioners are similar to window units, the only distinguishing factor is how they are installed. Wall-mounted air conditioners are installed by drilling a hole through a wall and using sleeves to give it support. Window air conditioners, on the other hand, are installed directly in a window.

Installing a through the wall air conditioner has several benefits. They are less expensive and more efficient than central systems. Because of their sleek design and installation in a wall, they not only save a lot of space but also do not compromise the amount of light or view from the window.

If you decide to choose a wall air conditioner for a room with no window, consider the size of the room and where it will be installed. Choose the appropriate amount of cooling power by taking into account the number of people that will occupy the room, ceiling height, and how open the room is to the sun.

Apart from traditional wall mounted air conditioners, you can also install wall mini-split systems. These are ductless mini-split air conditioners that can be permanently mounted on a wall. The advantage of these units is that you don’t have to buy two separate devices.

Remember, wall air conditioners are permanently installed through your wall, and it’s only wise to hire a professional to do the job. Improper installation can cause unwanted drafts when the ac is turned on. Also, make sure the unit is appropriately maintained — schedule for maintenance service, including changing the filter to increase the lifespan of the unit.
