Find the right air conditioner

The summer of 2022 broke heat records, and in Central Europe we have to prepare for increasingly hotter and drier summers. In addition, the prices for fossil fuels are currently exploding for the coming heating season. Buying an air conditioner now guarantees energy-efficient regulation of your room temperature in the future, independent of oil and gas. By the way, retrofit air conditioning in the house is very simple:
In this blog article we have summarized the most important points on how to find the right air conditioner. You are also welcome to use our Air conditioner configurator.

1. type of air conditioner

First of all, decide what kind of air conditioner you are interested in. There are several types of air conditioners:

At Raumluft24 you can get monobloc air conditioners, i.e. wall air conditioners without outdoor unit. This makes our air conditioners easy to install even on higher floors, since the installation is done completely from the inside, no scaffolding is necessary. Read more about how you can independently install your Install air conditioner.
Our air conditioners are characterized by a modern, simple design. The monoblock air conditioners look chic and unobtrusive with their white paint finish, and the small ventilation holes on your building facade are also barely noticeable.

2. room(size)

Legen Sie fest, in welchem Raum die Klimaanlage installiert werden soll – im Wohnzimmer für entspannte Tage oder im Schlafzimmer für erholsamen Schlaf. Unser Winter model Roma heats reliably even in severe sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, you can use this air conditioner as a heater. It should be noted that air conditioners are not suitable for wet rooms.

First of all, the most important factor is the size of the room, because air conditioners have different capacities. In a large living room, the cooling load to be provided by the air conditioner is higher than in a small bedroom. The good news is that it is almost impossible to buy an air conditioner that is too powerful, or even has advantages: If the air conditioner is intended for large rooms, it can run at the lowest level when used in less square meters, which saves energy and is particularly quiet.

The risk of buying an underperforming air conditioner that can't meet your needs and is more damaging to your wallet is much greater. But why are there small air conditioners? First and foremost, air conditioners for small rooms score points for their small, space-saving design.

By the way: If you want to cool a particularly large room or your desired air conditioner alone does not provide enough power, you can also use several air conditioners. This also distributes the cooled air particularly evenly in the room.

3. features and functions of the air conditioner

Closely related to the previously determined room are other necessary characteristics for the right air conditioner. Thus, the air conditioner should be powerful, but also energy efficient. All air conditioners from Raumluft24 have at least energy efficiency class A / A+. Furthermore, pay attention to the volume of your selected air conditioner: for bedrooms, a quiet monoblock air conditioner below 50 dB (decibels) is recommended. At Raumluft24 you will only find air conditioners below 30 dB, which makes them quieter than a whisper. If you are looking for a particularly space-saving model, e.g. for the children's room, we recommend the CAPRI MINI INHP09 or ELBA MINI UV.

Raumgröße und die Energieeffizienzklasse – Investieren Sie unbedingt in Energieeffizienzklasse A oder besser, damit Sie von den laufenden Kosten nicht überrascht werden.
