When choosing air conditioners for our home, many people will face a classic problem: whether to install a wall mounted air conditioner or a floor standing air conditioner.
Well, both two will provide cooling and heating functions, but they differ transparently in using experience, efficiency performance, and space fitting. This article is to help you find out the difference and find the one that suits you.
I. Space layout and aesthetics
- Split AC features: Installed on the wall without occupying ground space. It is suitable for simple-style installation, particularly for the homes with limited space.
- Standing AC features: Placed on the ground, but with a grand shape, it fits with the sofa and television, improving the overall sense of space grade.
If you pursue elegance and space-saving, you'd better choose a split air conditioner; if you pursue texture and atmosphere creation, then a floor standing one is much better.
II. Cooling heating capacity comparison
- Split AC: Suitable for small spaces with high efficiency, such as bedrooms, studies, or small living rooms. But the uneven cooling and heating may occur.
- Standing AC: Strong capacity, 2 hp and above, powerful airflow, fast cooling, wide coverage, and suitable for 30+ sq. m. living rooms or open spaces.
If your living room is 25+ sq. m., then a floor standing air conditioner is suitable; if you have a small house or limited budget, then a split air conditioner qualifies as well.
III. Energy consumption and noise performance.
Split AC: Low energy consumption, low noise; it is suitable for noise-sensitive users, but it will be loud during high-burden operation.
Standing AC: High energy consumption, but with strong cooling efficiency, it will be more energy-efficient when used in a large space, particularly for those large living rooms that are used frequently.
For short-term operation and frequent start-ups, a wall mounted air conditioner is more energy-saving; for long-term cooling needs, it is suggested to choose floor standing air conditioner.
IV. Price and installation
Wall split air conditioners are cheaper, and the installation cost is low as well.
Floor standing air conditioners cost a bit more at the initial stage, and you need to consider the placement and the power supply, but they cost less for maintenance.
If you have a limited budget or it is for a temporary house, you'd better choose the split air conditioner; if it's for your own house and to improve the life quality, then it's better to choose floor standing air conditioner.
In the current situation of frequent high temperatures, an efficient, intelligent, and beautiful standing air conditioner is not only related to the indoor temperature but also represents the comfort of life and work.
