3 Reasons To Purchase A Window-Mounted AC

Floyd Carroll

One of the most useful air conditioning systems that you can install in your home is a window-mounted unit due to the many benefits and advantages that it can provide when compared to a traditional central air system. Listed below are just a few of the reasons to purchase a window-mounted unit to cool your home.

Quick And Easy To Install

A major issue that you will typically run into when you are installing a standard central air system is that it will take a bit of time to install. In most cases, a central air system will take multiple HVAC contractors several days to install, which can be a bit of a problem if you are replacing your air conditioner in the middle of the summer.

However, a window-mounted system is easy enough to install that most homeowners will be able to easily install it on their own in about an hour. The whole process typically consists of setting your unit on the window sill, closing the window to keep the unit from falling out, and then sealing off the open areas around the air conditioner to trap cool air in the house and keep pests out. 

Much Less Expensive

One of the worst parts about installing a new air conditioner in your home is that it can often be quite expensive, especially if you are considering a central air system. Central air is usually going to cost between $3,500 and $4,000 to install in a typical 2,000 square foot home. On the other hand, installing a window-mounted air conditioner will only cost a small part of that, which is going to make a window-mounted unit much easier to fit into your budget than central air. 

Lowers Energy Waste

Finally, a window-mounted air conditioner is able to save you quite a bit of money on your cooling bills because they can make it much easier to control your energy consumption. Rather than cooling your entire home, a window-mounted unit is designed to cool the room that it is installed in. This means that you will have to purchase a separate unit for every room that will require cooling. 

The way that this helps your save money and avoid energy waste is that you can turn off an air conditioner as your leave a room and turn on another system as you enter a room. This will prevent you from spending money and wasting energy by air conditioning a room that you or a family member are not currently using. 

Contact an HVAC contractor today to discuss whether a window-mounted unit would be the best fit for your home and budget. These units are a great alternative to central air due to their easy installation, lower price, and ability to help you conserve energy.
