Room air conditioners cool rooms rather than the entire home. Less expensive to operate than central units Their efficiency is generally lower than that of central air conditioners. Can be plugged into any 15- or 20-amp, 115volt household circuit that is not shared with any other major appliances

Circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings in the walls, floors, or ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air conditioner to the home. This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the home; then it flows back to the central air conditioner through return ducts and registers

Outside air is drawn in, filtered and heated before it passes through the main air conditioning devices. The colored lines in the lower part of the diagram show the changes of temperature and of water vapor concentration (not RH) as the air flows through the system.

Air conditioners are rated by the number of British Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per hour. Another common rating term for air conditioning size is the "ton," which is 12,000 Btu per hour. Room air conditioners range from 5,500 Btu per hour to 14,000 Btu per hour.

Today's best air conditioners use 30% to 50% less energy than 1970s Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model

18

Rating is based on how many Btu per hour are removed for each watt of power it draws For room air conditioners, this efficiency rating is the Energy Efficiency Ratio, or EER For central air conditioners, it is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER

Built after January 1, 1990, need have an EER of 8.0 or greater

EER of at least 9.0 if you live in a mild climate EER over 10 for warmer climates

National minimum standards for central air conditioners require a SEER of

9.7 for single-package and 10.0 for split-systems Units are available with SEERs reaching nearly 17

Locate the air conditioner in a window or wall area near the center of the room and on the shadiest side of the house. Minimize air leakage by fitting the room air conditioner snugly into its opening and sealing gaps with a foam weather stripping material.
