There are wall mounted units requiring a hole through an outside wall and window units to fit one of your windows. There are portable units and windowless units. Some central air units are ductless and some are split air.

One of the most common type of unit is the split type, which is installed in a window or on a wall. This will have vents on the outside of the building and will pull in air from the outside, cool it and sometimes remove humidity too, and then send it out into the room. The fixed type is a very efficient air conditioner, and the more expensive models enable you to control the temperature to a high degree. Usually this type of air conditioner is provided with a remote control unit in order to operate the unit from the comfort of your chair if need be.

The portable models have improved greatly over the past few years, and in some cases can provide air conditioning that is on a par with fixed units. However the cooling is not usually as good as fixed unit, and the portable models are usually better used in rooms that are on the small side and perhaps not used regularly and therefore do not need a permanently fixed air conditioning unit.

Air conditioners use much the same technology as refrigerators except they cool a whole room or house. An evaporator coil cools the interior and a condenser coil releases hot air out doors. A variable speed fan blows the cool air into the room. Some terms you will run into while shopping for your AC unit are: BTU's which are the international unit of measurement of energy, EER or energy efficiency ratio and Energy Star rating which is a rating earned by energy efficiency. In air conditioning units the BTU's measure the heat a unit can remove from a room and the EER rating tells you how efficiently it does it.BTU's range from 5,000 to 24,000 in air conditioners with the higher numbers being bigger units able to cool bigger rooms. The EER ratings go from 8 to 11.5 with higher ratings being more efficient and more expensive. Don't hesitate to get help from an air conditioning expert to choose the correct unit and even install it for you. Especially central air conditioning and large units have electrical requirements your home may not yet have. You need the correct size unit for your space to have it run efficiently. The Correct unit installed correctly will cost less to run and give you better results.
