This is even more important if you live in a warm climate. In order to make sure that the cooler won’t bring you to bankruptcy, make sure that the machine is efficient.
The more efficient your machine is, the more you will be able to save on the energy bill. However in the majority of the cases the very efficient machines are more expensive. Nonetheless keep in mind that you will gain back the value of the investment on the long run.
Efficiency rating
All the products receive an efficiency rating and this is what you should compare when thinking about machines to buy.
Size
Before buying you have to determine the size of the machine that would be suitable for your home. This is important because if the machine is too small, it will have to work harder in order to keep the entire house cool. In the same time it is unnecessary to get a machine that is too big.
