High summer temperatures and heatwaves, as well as cold winter winds, have made it impossible to live without an air conditioner in your home or office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still don\u2019t own an AC unit and are thinking of buying one, we\u2019ve prepared some tips to make your decision a little bit easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AC power<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important feature of the AC is&nbsp;<strong>power<\/strong>, which&nbsp;determines&nbsp;its&nbsp;<strong>effectiveness<\/strong>&nbsp;in heating or cooling a space. The required power depends on factors such as room size (1 kW for every 10 m2), insulation, room orientation, intended use, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Energy class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AC units are classified from A to A+++, with&nbsp;<strong>A+++<\/strong>&nbsp;being the most energy-efficient. Higher-efficiency models may cost more initially but offer long-term energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEER<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>SCOP<\/strong>&nbsp;are associated with the energy class and represent the seasonal efficiency ratio for cooling and heating, respectively. The higher these numbers, the more efficient the air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/azuri.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/energy-efficiency-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22989239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuri.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/energy-efficiency-980x551.png 980w, https:\/\/azuri.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/energy-efficiency-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Different types of air conditioners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air conditioners come in&nbsp;<strong>mono<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>multi-split<\/strong>&nbsp;variants. Mono systems consist of one outdoor and one indoor unit, while multi-split systems have one outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common household choice is the mono split&nbsp;<strong>wall-mounted<\/strong>&nbsp;unit because of easier installation and maintenance. Other types of units include&nbsp;<strong>floor type<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>cassette<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>duct<\/strong>&nbsp;units, each suited for different needs. Floor units offer better heating comfort but require more space, while cassette and duct units are typically used in commercial spaces due to their greater power and capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth mentioning&nbsp;<strong>portable air conditioners<\/strong>&nbsp;that don\u2019t require installation. You simply plug them in and connect a pipe for exhausting warm air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend having your AC installed before the summer season, when there are fewer crowds and a shorter waiting period for the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/mono-split-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse mono split systems<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/multi-split-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Browse multi split systems<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you still don\u2019t own an AC unit and are thinking of buying one, we\u2019ve prepared some tips to make your decision a little bit easier!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22989238,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22989266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22989266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22989266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22989266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22989267,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22989266\/revisions\/22989267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22989238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22989266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22989266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/azuri.hr\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22989266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
