Air Conditioners

air conditionersIn 2005 we picked up the Fedders line of air conditioners and have expanded the selection for 2006. Now, in addition to the portable air conditioners and window air conditioners we have carried in the past, we have added several new products.

Our window air conditioner line has been expanded to include some high end air conditioners and through-the wall air conditioners. With several chassis models from which to choose (x chassis, Q chassis, Y chassis, D chassis, K chassis and V chassis) we have window air conditioners that range in size from 5,000 btu up to 32,000.

commercial air conditionersOur new line of commercial air conditioners include the PTAC and PTHP units, which you my have seen as wall mount console units in hotels, schools and other commercial applications where a central AC system is not feasible.

air conditioner sizing chartOne of the most common questions we here is about sizing an air conditioner. This is one place where bigger is not always better. Air conditioners cool indoor environments by accomplishing two things, reduceing humidity and cooling the air. If you put to large of an air conditioner in a room, it will cool the room off too quickly. By doing this, the compressor shuts off, which means that the AC unit is not on to reduce humidity.

If the humidity is not reduced, you end up with a cool moist room, which doesn’t feel comfortable. For ideal comfort, it is best to size the proper btu air conditioner for the room size. The table to the right is what we use for most applications. Also consider airflow when sizing air conditioning systems, one unit can only circulate air in one open area, it does not work through walls, floors, down hallways, etc. If you are trying to cool an entire house, office or building, size one air conditioner for each area.

If you have any questions, give us a call, we’ll be glad to help.
