However, Giedrė, a reader of the portal, who is heating her house with air conditioning, says she is not intimidated by higher electricity bills.
“I hastily bought the air conditioner this year, in July, during the heat peak. At that time, I delved into its functions a bit. However, air conditioner distributors recommend buying one that cools in summer and heats the house in Autumn or winter He planted me 600 euros.
I was sure I would only need the air conditioning in the summer, but I agreed with the professionals’ suggestion. And they were right, now before the heating season started, I heated with air conditioning. I turn it on when I get back from work. So I don’t think it will use a lot of electricity, ”the woman assured me.
According to her, health is currently more expensive.
“Every cold is scary right now, so I try to take care of my health as much as possible. So it is better to pay a little more for electricity, but not for the treatment of colds or coronavirus,” said Giedrė.
At the time, Miglė, another reader of the tv3.lt portal, said that she never thought that an air conditioner should be installed in the house.
“So I was surprised when two years ago I bought an apartment in an old apartment building with two air conditioners. I also asked if this apartment was really so hot that air conditioning was needed. The owner of the apartment said that a friend sold air conditioners at a great discount, so they installed them.
I repaired the apartment, so I would get rid of living alone this summer. And I needed air conditioning almost immediately because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep from the heat. Now that autumn has arrived, air conditioning is needed again, because I use it to heat the apartment, ”said Miglė.
Out of the cold and warm
Ederas, which sells air conditioners, heat pumps, etc. Home appliances spokesman Edgar said specialists should be consulted about their needs before installing the air conditioner.
“People generally already know that they will want to use the air conditioner not only in the summer, but also during this transition period, when the heat is not on everywhere, but it is already cold at home. With the air conditioners, the people currently heat not only in apartments, but also in houses or cottages when they do not yet want to connect the main heating source.
The more powerful the air conditioner, the more electricity it will consume. Furthermore, cooling requires less energy consumption than heating. So it is more expensive to heat with air conditioning than to cool it in summer, ”said the store representative.
According to him, simply installing the air conditioning is not enough, it still needs to be maintained before the cooling or heating season, preferably twice a year.
“Prevention can be done by one person. There are certain air filters that need to be cleaned a little to make the air cleaner and fresher because the filters are covered with dust or other dirt. You still have to pay attention to the technical parameters, if the pressure and other things have changed, ”said a store representative.
Spend 500-700 euros on air conditioners
According to Edgar, air conditioners are even more of a summer commodity, as more people install them at home during the warm season.
“The heat is probably more annoying for people, it is difficult to fall asleep in hot rooms and do something in general. That’s why people want to cool them down, “Edgar said.
The prices of the air conditioners in the store range between 400 euros and 1,300 euros.
Vilius Šipulskis, director of another air conditioner store Litmax Traiding, said that the price of air conditioners starts from 500 euros and increases to an unlimited amount, because the larger the room, the more air conditioners will need to be installed.
“Installing an air conditioner costs another 200-400 euros. And a preventive exam costs 30 to 80 euros. This summer, customers wanted to install the air conditioner very quickly, so they mostly chose inexpensive options. So, most of the time, customers spend around 500-700 euros for the air conditioning and another 200-400 euros for its installation, “said the director of the company.
According to him, generally standard air conditioners cool and heat the premises.
“Most people want to cool their houses, but they also want to be able to heat up between the summer and winter seasons. We get the most customers in the summer.
However, residents should warn air conditioner installers before installing that they will not only want to cool but also heat the premises due to different installation methods. Residents should also periodically inspect air conditioners. Otherwise, some manufacturers do not even provide a guarantee if this is not done ”, said the owner of the company.
V. Šipulskis said that people often install air conditioners in old apartment buildings where there is no regulated heating.
“People also often use air conditioners to heat their premises in summer houses or farms,” said the director of the company.
