The debate is usually between an overhead air conditioner in each room and a central mini air conditioner that powers the entire apartment. Both options are good, but the big question is which one is more suitable for your needs and of course for the size of the space that needs to be cooled. To make an informed decision, you should know the advantages and disadvantages of each type of air conditioner, their features and compare them.
Overhead air conditioner – to save electricity
Naturally when installed overhead air conditioner Separate in each room, you can control the operation of the air conditioners in the house separately, thus cooling only one space and not other spaces in the house where there is no one. When running a mini central air conditioner, all the spaces in the apartment are air-conditioned all the time, and the electricity consumption is of course higher. This is even more noticeable at night, when you don’t move around the house and are only in the bedroom. It is indeed fun to sleep with an air conditioner on the hot summer nights, but there is no need to cool the living room at the same time.
As with the installation of different types of air conditioners, there is also the option of installing an inverter air conditioner in an overhead air conditioner, the inverter technology allows the compressor to work continuously, without interruption, while changing its output according to need.
When you turn on an inverter air conditioner, the compressor works at full power to cool the room (much faster than a normal air conditioner, because of the power of the compressor)
And as soon as the temperature in the room reaches the desired level, the compressor continues to work but at a lower output, to maintain a constant and stable temperature over time.
Additional advantages: inverter in cooling mode, lowers the humidity level in the room automatically, the continuous cooling operation is convenient and much quieter.
Mini central versus overhead air conditioner – installation costs
Installing a mini central air conditioner requires the entire house (or office) to be networked with ducts for air flow to the rooms, and because of this, the ceiling must also be lowered. These are works that make the installation of the air conditioner unit itself more expensive, and sometimes can even be an architectural or design challenge (which makes the business even more expensive). In the aspect of installation cost, the overhead air conditioner is simpler to install and therefore the costs are much reduced. At the same time, even the installation of an overhead air conditioner has constraints that may make it more expensive – for example, in residential buildings where it is not possible to install the outdoor unit beyond the wall of the air-conditioned room, and it is required to route the piping to a designated place on the service balcony or on a specific wall of the building. These are also considerations that should be taken into account.
So when is a mini central air conditioner better and when is an overhead air conditioner? It all depends on the space
Overhead air conditioners are mainly used to cool small spaces: bedroom, kitchen, living room, office, shop, etc. Their installation is often simpler and if more than one is installed they can be controlled separately. If you have a limited budget or a defined space for air conditioning, the overhead air conditioner is the right choice for you.
On the other hand, a mini central air conditioner will suit those interested in central air conditioning for an apartment or business. to cool a large space – etc. Unlike the overhead air conditioner, the internal units of a mini central air conditioner are almost invisible and the air flows through hidden ducts and a decorative shutter installed in the space. Therefore, a central mini air conditioner will guarantee both an aesthetic appearance and a powerful operation and quiet and high-quality air conditioning for the entire space at the push of a button.
