If you’re getting ready to upgrade the heating and cooling system in your home, Advanced A/C Contracting in Honolulu, HI, recommends taking a moment to consider your options. Even if you’ve gone your entire life using a thermostat to control your central HVAC system, sometimes it’s more efficient and affordable to install window air conditioners. Before you call an HVAC contractor to equip your home or office with a new indoor system, familiarize yourself with the major differences between the two units.

Take the following aspects into consideration when choosing between a central heating and cooling system and a window air conditioner:

• Climate: Even though Hawaii is known for its warm, tropical climate, the temperature rarely exceeds 90 degrees. In hotter, more humid climates, a central HVAC system would be more appropriate to offset the heat; however, in Honolulu, many people choose window air conditioners, as they cool off their homes without driving up the utility bills.
• Space: For those of you with larger homes or businesses, it will be necessary to install a central heating and cooling system to sufficiently control your indoor climate. But if you live in a smaller cottage, condo, or apartment, window air conditioners are the perfect solution. Available in different sizes and capacities, you can select the perfect unit for the square footage of your living area.
• Time: While long-term homeowners may want to invest in an indoor HVAC unit, short-term apartment tenants might benefit from purchasing a window air conditioner. Before you repair or replace a central cooling system, sit down and decide how long you plan to stay in your condo.

Getting window air conditioners for your property is a great way to stay cool and comfortable without having to make a long-term investment in your temporary home.
