When the heat of summer descends, cooling is no longer a luxury, but a requirement. Yet for many Canadian homeowners, the arrival of heat goes hand in hand with record-breaking temperatures and sky-high electricity bills. The silver lining? There’s an energy-efficient and cost-saving solution to both: installing energy-efficient window air conditioners.
We at The Perfect Mechanical Solutions are experts in installing cost-effective high-performance window AC units that cool economically. In this day’s blog, we talk about how to stay cool with the hot weather in Canada without losing your money—thank you for proper window AC installation.
Why Use a Window Air Conditioner
While central AC systems are common in bigger homes, window air conditioners are perfect for:
- Condos or apartments
- Small office spaces or one room
- Budget-friendly homes
- Rental units or short-term installations
They are easy to install, inexpensive to power, and—when chosen well—are surprisingly efficient energy-wise.
What Makes an “Energy-Efficient” Window AC?
Not all window units are the same. Energy-efficient units are designed to cool your space with the least amount of power consumed. Look for the following:
- Energy Star Certification: They use 10–15% less energy than normal models. It’s a good performance and efficiency indicator.
- High EER Rating (Energy Efficiency Ratio): The higher the EER, the higher the cooling ability for each wattage of energy. For models with 10 or more EER.
- Programmable Thermostat & Timer: These provide overcooling and waste elimination through programmation of specific operating times and temperatures.
- Eco Mode & Sleep Settings: These smart features reduce fan speed and cycling rate during less cooling demand.
Why Professional Installation Matters
You might think installing a window AC is a DIY project—but skipping the wrong step costs you money in the future. With The Perfect Mechanical Solutions, our professional installers ensure:
Sealing and fit as an integral part of installation, eliminating cooled air leaks and hot air invasion
- Safe installation, preventing unit damage and instability
- Proper drainage and angle, cutting down on internal water leaks
- Safe electric connections, preventing fire or overload risk
- Incorrect installation will cause a unit to use as much as 30% more power, reducing performance and lifespan.
How Window AC Installation Saves You Money
Aside from the original lower cost compared to central units, window air conditioners will also reduce your bill in the process if properly installed and run. Here’s why:
1. Room-by-Room Cooling: Condition only the rooms you are occupying and not the whole house.
2. Reduced Energy Consumption: Smaller units use less power and are most appropriate for small spaces.
3. Zoned Comfort: Use multiple window ACs in busy rooms for spot cooling instead of blasting a whole-house unit.
4. Fewer Maintenance Expenses: Window units require very minimal maintenance, especially if they are installed correctly.
How to Maximize Efficiency After Installation
After having installed your window AC, keep low energy consumption with these simple tips:
- Close windows and doors while using the AC
- Use blackout curtains or blinds to keep sunlight and heat out
- Clean or replace filters on a regular basis to have free airflow
- Turn off the unit when not being used or use the timer feature
- Run the unit along with a ceiling fan to circulate cool air evenly
