How to Choose the Perfect Air Conditioner for Your Home

The installation process is one of the most important considerations when looking for an air conditioner. The majority of home air conditioners are designed to be installed through a window and will require a hole to be cut in the side of the house.

Air conditioner reviews are always useful in helping you find the best product for your needs. This way, you can find out about all the features that are available and make sure that your purchase meets your specific needs.

Air conditioners come with a variety of features, so it's important to know what their capabilities are before making a purchase. Some have more powerful cooling capacity than others and some have more energy-efficient features than others. You should also consider whether or not you want an air conditioner with dehumidification capabilities or not

5 Important Factors to Consider When Buying an Air Conditioning Unit

Remember that you can always ask the HVAC distributor for help with AC. Five factors to consider when buying an air conditioning unit.

  1. Capacity: The first factor to consider is the capacity of the unit. This is measured in BTUs or British Thermal Units, which measure how much heat can be removed from a room per hour.
  2. Energy efficiency: The second factor to consider is energy efficiency, which is measured in SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This number tells you how much electricity the unit uses per hour for every BTU of cooling it provides (i.e., it tells you how efficient your air conditioner is). Higher numbers are better, with 14 and up being the best units on the market today.
  3. Split or window AC: The third factor to consider is whether you want a window AC or a split system AC, as they each have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on what you need them for and where they will be placed in your home or office space. Window ACs are cheaper and smaller, but they lose their cooling power when the window is left open. Split ACs are bigger and more powerful but are usually placed in the center of a room to provide full cooling.
  4. Energy cost: The fourth factor to consider is how much energy your new air conditioner will use per month or year. This number can vary depending on your usage habits, geographical location, and the size of the unit purchased.
  5. Noise: The fifth factor to consider is noise level; If you want a quiet AC then you will need to consider this factor. Indoor noise levels range from 35-45 decibels, while outdoor noise levels are around 50 decibels.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
