Choosing the right window air conditioning unit for your room will help keep you cool and save energy when the weather heats up. Here are three important factors to consider when buying a new AC:
Check air registers for optimal performance
Make sure the connections at vents and registers are well-sealed where they meet the floors, walls, and ceilings. These are common areas for air leaks and disconnected ductwork. Also make sure vents are clear of blockages such as furniture or rugs to improve air flow and comfort. Leaky ducts can reduce heating and cooling system efficiency by as much as 20 percent.
