Energy Efficiency Ratios (EERs) have steadily improved over the last decade, partly due to rising government standards. For room air conditioners made after October 2000 and having a capacity of less than 8,000 Btu, the EER must be at least 9.7 (the higher the number, the better). For a model to receive an Energy Star rating, it must reach 10.7 EER. You can estimate energy savings by calculating a 10% savings for each point difference of EER. If you go for a model rated at 10.7 EER, you'll save 10% in energy costs over a 9.7 EER model. By estimating the number of years you expect to use the unit, you can gauge whether a higher initial cost will eventually pay off.
Thanks to government regulations, manufacturers are required to clearly display EER ratings on air conditioner units, making it easier to compare them among different brands & models.
Here are some other considerations when shopping for a room air conditioner:
Get the right size. Air conditioning is half cooling, half moisture removal. A unit that's too small for your room will not cool enough, while one that's too large will not remove humidity effectively. Consumer Reports' handy calculator, "How powerful an air conditioner do you need?" can help you determine what size air conditioner is right for your room. A less extensive "Window Air Conditioner Estimator" is available from WarmAir.net.
Check the ease of installation. Even the lightest air conditioners are heavy, and the heaviest can weigh more than 100 pounds. You'll probably need assistance to install a heavier air conditioner, and even with a lighter one, an extra pair of hands is a good idea. Many units also require special installation. A slide-in chassis makes installation easier because you install the lighter portion first, but this means it can also take more time.
Check for special requirements. Some large units require a special 220-volt plug, and some have louvers that blow air more in one direction than in others -- a fact worth considering depending on where you're planning to install the air conditioner. The filters in certain units may require you to have additional space on one side, so be sure to check out how easy it is to install and remove the filter once the unit is in place. The models in ConsumerSearch Fast Answers all require a three-pin outlet. Experts recommend you run an air conditioner on its own circuit to avoid circuit overload.
Look for convenience features. Thermostats, digital controls, remote controls and built-in timers are becoming more common, even on low-priced models.
Know what level of noise you're willing to live with. You may be willing to save some money on a noisier unit if you're not cooling a bedroom, but if you're a light sleeper, check out models known for quiet operation.
Get the highest-efficiency unit you can afford. In general, you'll pay a bit more for a high-efficiency air conditioner, but you'll make up the difference in your electricity bill over the unit's lifetime, not to mention the benefits to the environment. Experts note the price differences have diminished between high and lower-efficiency air conditioners, and sometimes more efficient models are no more expensive than others.
Totally agreed with this... A key to reducing air conditioning costs during hot summer days is to limit the amount of heat generated within the home or apartment during the afternoon, when temperatures are at their highest.
1) Keep lights off when rooms are not in use. Lights generate heat that makes your air conditioner run more. 2) Try to wash and dry clothes, iron and cook in the morning or later in the evening. Use microwave ovens, which produce much less heat than stoves for cooking. 3) Use awnings, curtains, or blinds to keep out direct sunlight. This will keep your house cooler. 4) Eliminate activities in the afternoon that require a great deal of in and out through the doors of your home. This allows cool air to escape and hot air to enter the home.
