Want to Know

I’d like to buy a room ah
conditions) but I don’t know
what to look for. Please give
me some suggestions.
Appliance experts advise
that you assemble facts such
as the size of the room to be
cooled the height, length
and width, the direction the
room faces, the type of win
dow—such as casement, dou
ble-hung, etc., and the elec
trical voltage in your home.
This information will help
the salesman determine the
cooling capacity you need and
the best unit to do the job.
Then you should ask about
noise level, temperature con
trols, and filter. You should
also find out how to clean and
replace the air deflection fea
tures. Also consult use-and
care instructions.
Are accessories stick as
vaiiable fan speeds and direc
tional controls worth the ex
tra pi ice on 100 m air condi
tional s?
Most air conditioner own
ers like a choice of fan speeds
because low speed offers
quieter nighttime cooling and
higher speeds are useful for
daytime cooling during very
hot weather. Air directional
controls allow you to direct
the airflow up, down or to
either side, thus preventing
drafts. A thermostat may
contribute toward more eco
nomical operation because it
allows setting a temperature
range that the unit maintains
automatically. These acces
sories are no longer extra on
many air conditioners.
