Wall Mounted Air Conditioner
BY TRAVIS BAUGH
Carrier high wall ductless air conditioners, also known as wall mounted air conditioners, are engineered to deliver efficient cooling and heating for your home. This article delves into the benefits of a wall air conditioning unit, guides you in selecting the right wall mounted AC unit, and offers tips on maintenance and care.
Benefits of A Wall Mounted Air Conditioner
Wall mounted air conditioners offer numerous advantages, making them an excellent choice for home cooling in many instances.
One significant benefit is energy efficiency. Wall mounted AC units are designed to cool specific areas, which helps you save on energy costs by not having to cool your entire home. Thanks to advanced technology, these units provide precise temperature control while consuming less energy compared to traditional central air systems.
Another advantage is their space-saving design. Mounted on the wall, these units don't occupy valuable floor space like portable or window air conditioners, making them ideal for garages, sunrooms, and basement. Learn more about ductless mini split applications.
Additionally, wall mounted AC units are known for their quiet operation. Modern sound-dampening technology ensures these units run quietly, allowing you to maintain a peaceful environment while staying cool and comfortable.
Overall, wall mounted air conditioners offer unmatched benefits, from energy efficiency and space-saving design to quiet operation.
Wall Mounted AC Units
Wall-mounted AC units are part of a ductless mini split system. Here's how they fit into this system:
- Indoor Unit: The wall-mounted unit is installed inside the room. It contains the evaporator coil and blower, which provides conditioned air directly into the space.
- Outdoor Unit: This unit is installed outside the home and houses the compressor and condenser. It expels the heat absorbed from the indoor air.
- Refrigerant Lines: Copper lines run between the indoor and outdoor units, carrying refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the indoor air and releases it outside.
- Electrical Wiring: Electrical lines connect the indoor and outdoor units, providing power and control signals.
- Drain Line: A condensate drain line removes moisture collected by the indoor unit during the cooling process.
This setup allows for efficient cooling without the need for ductwork, making it ideal for homes without existing ducts or for adding cooling to specific areas. Learn more about what is a ductless air conditioner.
Choosing the Right Wall Air Conditioner Unit
Selecting the appropriate wall air conditioner unit for your home involves considering several key factors. Here are some important aspects to help you make an informed decision:
The cooling capacity of an air conditioner, measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units), is crucial. The room size determines the appropriate BTU rating. A unit with too low a BTU may struggle to cool the space effectively, while one with too high a BTU may waste energy. Carrier offers a range of BTU options to ensure a perfect fit for your room. Learn more about what is BTU.
Carrier's wall mounted air conditioners come with various additional features to enhance your cooling experience. Some can be configured with either one or multiple indoor units (multi zone system) powered by a single inverter controlled, variable-speed outdoor unit to bring comfort anywhere. Programmable timers, remote control operation, energy-saving modes and adjustable fan speeds are other features to look for. Choose the features that best suit your needs.
While wall mounted AC units may be a great cooling option for your home, Carrier also offers a wide variety of wall mounted ductless heat pumps. Ductless heat pumps provide both cooling and heating, offering a versatile solution for year-round climate control, unlike ductless air conditioners which only provide cooling.
