Air Conditioners to Keep You Cool

When the weather gets warm it's important to have an air conditioner that works. If you've ever lived without AC, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Make sure your home is ready for the hot summer months with air conditioners from Abt. From window units to large central air conditioners, our Abt team will make sure you have the right unit for your space.

Which Air Conditioning Unit is Right for My House?

There are several different types of air conditioners you can choose from, and the right unit largely depends on where you live. Small window units are perfect for those living in apartments or smaller homes that don't have central air. Window air conditioners are good for cooling a single room or small area. If you live in a small house or condo that doesn't have central air, a window unit is probably your best bet. Another option you can consider if you don't want to install a window unit is a portable air conditioner. Portable air conditioners are also ideal for cooling small rooms, but they don't require installation into a wall or window. Instead, these units are freestanding and are able to be moved from room to room. If you rent an apartment or live in an area where window units aren't permitted, a portable unit is a great alternative. You can also easily bring your portable AC unit with you when you move. On the other hand, central air conditioning units are installed in the ductwork of a home or building and used to cool the entire house or building. These units are quieter than window air conditioners, and also give you the ability to control the temperature of your entire home.

One of the main factors to consider when choosing an air conditioning unit is its size. It's important that you choose a unit that is appropriately sized for the space you want to cool. If the unit is too small, it will struggle to cool the space effectively and may constantly run, which will lead to higher energy bills. On the other hand, if the unit is too large it will cool the space too quickly and then shut off, leading to uneven temperatures. A properly sized unit will run efficiently and effectively to cool your space. Air conditioners have different cooling modes and other features you'll want to consider before you buy. Some features available can include a sleep mode, dehumidifying mode and air filtration to remove pollutants and allergens from the air.
