Wall Air Conditioner

Through the Wall Air Conditioners

ADVERTISEMENTS

The through the wall air conditioners slightly differ from the window air conditioners. The difference is noted by the way they are installed. The through the wall conditioner is installed inside the wall while the window air conditioner is mounted in a window. The through wall air conditioner is rear vented and is suitable for use in a room.  Its design helps to enhance a swift exchange of dry and cool airs into a room as it forces damp and warm air out of the room. When installing, the process will require a professional as there is a lot of dimension taking.

Through the wall air conditioners come with sleeves and chassis that keep the unit firmly in the wall. The sleeve supports the air conditioner by holding it inside the wall tightly. The sleeves ensure that the overweight conditioner is safely mounted in the wall thus decreasing the chances of it falling out accidentally. Normally, air conditioners come with their own unique sleeves meaning that one is recommended to purchase the air conditioner and sleeves together. If you purchase a conditioner and its sleeves do not fit well, there are sleeve stuffers that are stuffed to help fit the unit in place.

The prices of through the wall air conditioners are slightly lower compared to other types of air conditioners. With this type of air conditioner, you will not be required to leave your door or window open to act as ventilation.  However, they also have their disadvantages. They are noisy compared to the split units and consume a lot of energy with outputs of about 11,000btu. They require skilled labor to mount them and ensure that sleeves put in a right manner. This type of air conditioner is easy to operate and can be used in the home, small offices, hard standing caravans and conservatories.

Choosing the size of a through the wall air conditioner depends on the room size that is going to be cooled. For example, a typical office has a high number of electrical equipment that emits a lot of heat. You will need a stronger air conditioner to cool off this heat. A room with a window that is directly hit by the sun is likely to become hotter in sunny days therefore demanding a powerful conditioner. A cooling calculator is used to calculate the cooling needed in both kW and btu (British thermal units) to give you the right size you need.
