Window AC versus ductless air conditioners
HOME
Window air conditioners are measured by a simpler calculation of SEER, or
seasonal energy efficiency ratio. A new window unit with an SEER of 9.5 or more
used to be
considered efficient. Now 13 seer is the standard in Canada.
Keep in mind that the SEER can vary greatly between air conditioning models, so
be sure to read the air conditioners Energy Guide label carefully before
purchasing. The SEER is the largest number printed on the label; you can also
check the annual operating costs of your A C system and how it compares to
other brands.
Sizing Air conditioners
The same sizing principle applies to
window air conditioners and ductless systems - smaller is actually better. Don't let a salesperson
talk you into buying a larger air conditioner unit than you need. Check
the package to see how many square feet of living space the air conditioner
unit is designed to cool.

Window air conditioners should also be installed in a shady area – placing one
on the south or sunny side of the house will make the air conditioner work
harder than necessary.
