Having a large air conditioner can be a pain in the neck. You have to worry about how much space you have available, what kinds of products you need, and how you will use them.
How much space you have Available makes a difference in how you organize your closet and storage systems. Some places are better off without than with an additional shelf or floor unit. If you are a heavy user, then having more space may help save money in the long run!
Bullet point: Size is not the only dimension that matters when creating an Air Handler for your system. There are other details to take into account such as: length, width, and height. These dimensions affect what kind of ceiling connection method you can use, whether or not your unit needs extensions or additions, and whether or not you need a fan or cooling capability.

Height
When it comes to the height of your air handler, you will want to account for this in your design. There are two reasons for this. the first being that if you do not have a high ceiling in your home, you will need to add an extension onto the top of your air handler to make it tall enough.
The second being that if you have a low roof on your home, then you will need to add a low extension on top of your air handler to make it tall enough.
When looking at roof types and extensions, make sure they can be added and removed easily. You do not want to spend all day having to remove an extension orosaing up or down as the wind conditions change. You also want to know if there is any safety concern with those extensions.
Another point about the height is that when looking at places with short memories, look for places with long excess summer heat ducts going up so those memories can be mitigated by properly cooling system.
Depth
Most people are surprised to find that an average-sized room can actually be too small for an air handler. A typical sized bedroom has a size-disabling double bed, a desk with a table and chair in the other room, and a wall with a door.
This is the kind of layout where you would need to move everything around to make space for an air handler. Once you do, you’ll be glad you installed one, as it makes hot air very efficiently removed from your bedroom.
A single bed or night table might work as the only storage setup in this room, making space for an incredibly efficient system. A window buy itself could provide some natural cooling and views of the trees outside if desired.
These kinds of systems are always cost-prohibitive, so most people opt to add them later.
Units per box
If you are looking for the ultimate in storage space efficiency, then you should consider getting a 2-ton air handler. This is a very large device that can move air throughout your home.
This allows you to cool and heat your rooms, as well as makes sure that everyone in your home has adequate airflow. Without the device, your rooms may overheat and be excessively hot, which is not good when trying to cool people.
Also, if you have a lot of windows in your home, then getting an air handler will help save money on window cleaners and window films. Since it uses digital controls, there may be a learning curve for those who are not technologically savvy, but there are many guides out there to help guide you on how to use it.
Lastly, 2-ton air conditioners can potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year in cooling and heating costs. Many times they cost less than 1-ton devices do due to better quality materials used.
Unit weight
Choosing the right air handler depends on the size of your room, how much air you need, and how much you want to charge for it. Most units are around 20-24 inches in length, 12-16 inches in width, and 4-8 inches in height.
Some are a little bigger than others, and some are a little smaller.
Compressor type
Compressor type is the main difference between a chiller and an evaporative air handler. A chiller uses cold air to chill items placed in it, whereas an evaporative cooler uses cool air to evaporate liquids.
Typically, the compressor runs on electricity and is manually operated. This can be nice or not!??????????? To take advantage of this, you must have the right size compressor for your needs.
There are two kinds of compressors: static and dynamic. Static compressors do not move around when they are running, but dynamic ones do. Make sure you have a static one that works with your system!
There are four types of refrigerators: freezers, corrosion-proofed, double-decker, and front-loading.
Maximum temperature drop across the unit
Most units will have a maximum temperature drop of 20 degrees within a few hours of operation. This is due to the fan and heating elements being cooled by the air flow.
The unit must be able to handle very cold weather conditions to use this product. If you are planning on using this in winter, this is a feature you must have!
This feature is great for people who do not want to be disturbed when the room gets warm. This allows them to sit back and watch TV or something else passive while the room heats and cools. This can saved someone from having to worry about going up and down the thermostat as the temperature changes.
Coil type
When choosing an air handler, there are several things to consider. Most important is finding the right coil type for your needs. This determines whether you can use a fan or not, how easily you can repair it, and if it is UL-certified.
Moderator: When using afan or vane type fans, check to see if they are UL-certified. These fans must be installed and used with extreme care and following proper installation procedures.
When using window-type air conditioners, make sure they are certified and have their operation checked by a qualified technician.
Sound level (dBA)
dBA stands for desirably low amplitude sound levels. You want your fan to be as quiet as possible, right? There are two main factors that determine the dBA of your system. The first is the distance between you and the sound source. The second is the Loudness Contour setting in your audio equipment.
Most high-end audio systems have a Loudness Contour setting that determines how loud a song or audio file can be. The higher the number, the louder the item will be when paired with that setting. Most four-speaker setups have a max dBA of about 75, so it makes sense to keep fan noise at a minimum with this setting.
The second factor that affects dBA is what item or person is talking or singing. When someone is very loud, their voice can get trapped inside an item or speaker and not heard properly due to dBA.
