  • In addition, the devices are compact, so they take up little space and are almost silent.
  • A timer allows you to switch between different intensity levels, including turbo, sleep or auto-start.

FAQ about air conditioners

How does an air conditioner work?

There are different types of air conditioners, for example, air conditioners with coolants or water. In the first variant, the coolant is brought into the room in liquid form, which causes the air to cool down.

What is the cost of air conditioning?

The cost of an air conditioner depends on the type of unit and the area to be cooled. Also, a distinction is made between built-in devices and mobile solutions. One should consider that not only the device itself can cause costs (depending on the design about 400 to several thousand euros), but also the installation, activation and possibly delivery. You should also find out in advance how much energy the device will consume. In this way, you can avoid nasty surprises.

Air conditioner exhaust hose: where to?

Mobile air conditioners only work if the so-called exhaust hose leads out of the area to be cooled. There are special seals and devices for this purpose (e.g. for doors and windows). If the hose remains in the cooled room, cooling is not possible because the warm air is then recirculated.

What is an air conditioner?

An air conditioner is a device that can lower the room temperature. Fans are therefore not air conditioners, because they only move the air, which feels refreshing and cooling. They are much cheaper than air conditioners, but they cannot cool down the room.
