Air conditioners for the bedroom: how to choose and where to place?

The bedroom is where a person spends most of their time. It is important that the stay in this room is comfortable. Air conditioning will help ensure a comfortable environment and healthy sleep. How to choose it correctly and where to place it?

This question comes up first. An air conditioner in the bedroom should be quiet, powerful, but not too expensive and stylish.

There are a number of factors to consider before purchasing.

• Room area. The power of the device will be directly related to the square meters in the apartment. If the room is small, then the choice of a large air conditioner will be inappropriate. The dimensions of the device must match the dimensions of the bedroom.

• The cost of the device. Stores offer many brands of air conditioners with different characteristics. The main thing in this matter is not to overpay, but also not to save too much. Otherwise, the wrong choice will negatively affect not only the comfortable environment in the room, but also the health of the household.

• Conditioner shape. Devices can be floor-standing (mobile, stationary) or wall-mounted. The first option has its advantages, for example: such an air conditioner can be rearranged from room to room if necessary, it is suitable for a small bedroom, the device does not need to be installed. But this device cannot be called silent, during its operation, the compressor heats up, therefore the air itself heats up.

• Personal preferences. Everyone wants the air conditioner not only to fulfill its purpose with high quality, but also to look stylish in the interior, harmoniously complementing the atmosphere. It so happens that a model with the worst characteristics has an attractive appearance, and a nondescript, at first glance, air conditioner can have a high-quality set of characteristics. It is important to find a device that combines an attractive shape with internal filling.

In general, any air conditioner must have certain characteristics.

• Quiet mode. None of the family members will enjoy sleeping to the loud sounds of the device. Therefore, for the bedroom, you need to choose silent models with the ability to reduce and fix the noise level.

• Temperature night mode. Setting such a timer is important to create a comfortable environment. In addition, electricity is saved in this way. The temperature is maintained and the subsequent automatic shutdown of the device takes place.

• Ionization. Not all air conditioners have this system, but specially charged particles in this case will contribute to the good condition of the household, which can be compared to the cheerfulness from visiting a waterfall, the sea coast or mountain slopes.

• Dehumidification. With this system, the air conditioner will help get rid of excess moisture. Everyone knows an unpleasant condition with high humidity: a person is stuffy, he can hardly breathe. The air conditioner will help keep the air dry in this case.

• Purification. Some modern models are equipped with a filter system, thanks to which the air is purified from various aromas and dust. In some air conditioners, the filtration level is so strong that even dust mites are eliminated. This function is perfect for people suffering from dust allergies.

• Air heating system... The so-called winter block will be needed to warm up the room on cold winter nights. Thus, in one purchase, you can combine an air conditioner with a heater.

In order for the device to work correctly and at the same time not have a negative effect on the health of the household, it is important to install it correctly. And the first step is choosing the installation site. There are some recommendations in this regard.

• Hanging an air conditioner in front of your bed is a bad idea. Cold air in this case will be directed to the opposite wall, while it will fall on the household members themselves during sleep. Such an arrangement of the device is fraught with colds in the future for family members. Therefore, you should not risk your health and install the device in this way.

• Some people decide to hang an air conditioner in front of the door. This, too, cannot be called a good placement in terms of interior design. Although the device assumes a presentable appearance, it should not be the most important element of the bedroom. The location opposite the door will make the air conditioner "the highlight of the program", because the device will catch the eye of both hosts and guests. The device does not need such noticeability.

• You can put the device on top of the door. Such a layout will contribute to an even distribution of air throughout the room, but at the same time you need to pay attention that the distance to the window is not too great, otherwise a long cable will be required.

• As for installation next to a balcony or window, this option is economical in terms of purchasing a cable.... The disadvantage of this placement is the limited choice of curtains. The curtains must be pulled back when the appliance is running.

• Many people wonder if it is possible to hang an air conditioner above the bed. This option is considered to be quite successful, because the zone directly under the device itself is considered the most comfortable, so there will be no direct impact on the sleeping person. This means that this method of placement can be considered safe for health.

Any of the listed options for the location of the device has both its pros and cons. When choosing a place it is important to remember about safety, comfort and aesthetics.

When installing the air conditioner, it is important to follow the instructions of specialists.

• The air conditioner should not be placed directly under the ceiling, but at a distance that should not be less than 10 cm.
• The device itself is mounted on the wall using special brackets. The air conditioner should be located at a distance from the wall (at least 20 cm).
• It is better to place the device away from the heater and never above it.
• Two meters is the optimal distance from the device to other furniture. This will ensure correct operation of the device and there will be no risk of temperature failure. Otherwise, the air conditioner may shut off.
• It is worth remembering that the external air conditioner should be located close to the internal one. Thus, electricity will be consumed economically, and the device will work correctly.

To install the air conditioner, you can use the services of masters or rely on your own strength. The installation technique for the wall model is always the same and includes:

• drilling holes (at least 5 cm);
• installation of the external part (one person cannot cope here, because the air conditioner is quite heavy);
• hanging a room unit;
• collecting refrigerant lines;
• installation of a decorative box;
• at the final stage, moisture is removed.

Thus, An air conditioner can be considered an important thing in the bedroom, which will help the household to spend time comfortably in the room, and will also contribute to a restful sleep. Sultry heat or high humidity will no longer be a problem with this device in an apartment. With the right choice and installation, the air conditioner will surely create a cozy microclimate in the room and will delight the household for many years.
