Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a measure of a cooling system's ability to remove thermal energy from an area, under standard conditions. The higher the BTU, the more powerful the AC, which means it will be able to cool a larger space.
The air flow level is a measurement of the amount of air per unit of time that flows through a device. It indicates how fast the device can condition air.
The EER is a measure of efficiency by which the cooling process of air conditioners and heat pumps is rated. The higher the energy efficiency rating, the more efficient the air conditioner.
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measure of seasonal cooling efficiency for air conditioners and heat pumps. The higher the SEER, the more energy efficient the unit is.
Heating capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a measure of a heating system's ability to add thermal energy to an area, under standard conditions. The higher the BTU, the more powerful the AC, which means it will be able to heat a larger space.
Coefficient of performance is a measure of speed and effectiveness for heat pumps that is analogous to thermal efficiency for power cycles. Higher the COP, higher the efficiency of the system.
The appliance is either Energy Star Certified, or has an EU energy efficiency rating of A++ or A+++. This means it consumes around 20-30% less energy than is required by the minimum local standards for energy efficiency.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
It is compatible with Apple's Siri voice assistant, allowing you to use voice commands to control the device from other Apple HomeKit-compatible devices.
The device consists of two parts, one internal and one external. The indoor unit inside the room replaces warm air with cool air. The outdoor unit is installed outside the house, and pumps out the warm air. Split ACs are quieter and have better air distribution than other models.
The sleep mode feature allows you to set a time for the air conditioner to automatically adjust to pleasant sleeping conditions. The device slowly increases temperature during the night to match the metabolism of the user.
Air-cooled systems have lowest overall cost and are easy to maintain and install. Unfortunately, they often have less heat removal capacity per unit compared to other configurations.
