In modern homes, innovative ways are adopted to make the set up look beautiful and clutter free. Among these, floor-mounted air conditioners are one of the many new methods used by interior decorators to mask utilities in a beautiful fashion.
Why floor-mounted ACs?
- The advantages of floor air conditioning come from its ability to cool and evenly circulate air in large spaces, which do not have walls. Lack of walls make it tough for conventional wall-mounted or window ACs to be installed.
- Floor ACs have a better cooling effect as they are spread across the length of the room.
- The cooling process is faster.
- It aesthetically pleasing for those who would want to have ACs on their walls and rather deck them up with wallpapers or innovative paints.
Where can these be installed?
- Floor mounted ACs is the new-age concept, which is preferred both in offices as well as homes.
- Many new homes now have floor-level windows and less of walls. This leaves no room for installing wall-mounted or window ACs. Hence, many home owners are now innovating with floor-mounted ACs that have vents that let out cool air from the floor below.
- The need for such ACs is also high in studio apartments, which are a single room set up with not many walls.
Get ready for additional costs
- Floor-mounted ACs are more expensive than other two types both in installation and maintenance. Servicing and repairing requires specialised technicians.
- It requires specialised flooring. This might multiply add to your costs for installing these ACs.
- Installing a floor AC also makes cleaning of the floor a complex task. It might require regular vacuum cleaning as opposed to conventional sweeping and mopping. It means more expense and more time devoted to cleaning.
