Want to cool your rooms efficiently? Then an air conditioner without an outdoor unit is an excellent choice. Read answers to all your questions about this type of air conditioner in this article.
What is an air conditioner without an outdoor unit?
The name already gives it away: an air conditioner without an outdoor unit has only one device to cool your home. All the necessary components for cooling and maintaining a comfortable room temperature are integrated into this single indoor unit. This type of air conditioner is also known as a monoblock air conditioner. Monoblock air conditioners can be either portable or fixed, although fixed air conditioners without an outdoor unit are often more efficient in both cooling and, if possible, heating.
What are the advantages of an air conditioner without an outdoor unit?
In addition to efficiently and effectively cooling your home, an air conditioner without an outdoor unit offers several advantages. Here are the main ones:
- You don't have to free up space on the outside of your home or office for an outdoor unit, which in all honesty isn't very pretty either. Instead of a large outdoor unit, the return air ducts are subtly routed through the wall and finished on the outside of the building with two stylish grilles.
- In addition, monoblock air conditioners often have a stylish and modern design, making them perfect for any interior.
- Furthermore, air conditioners without an outdoor unit are very easy to maintain. More itself, they are virtually maintenance-free, making a maintenance contract unnecessary.
- Also, mononoblocks are easy installation, as the models typically assume a plug-and-play system.
- Finally, a monoblock air conditioner is durable and uses very little energy, making them interesting for your energy bill as well. Most air conditioners without an outdoor unit have an energy class A+.
How do you install an air conditioner without an outdoor unit?
As mentioned above, an air conditioner without an outdoor unit is quite straightforward to install. In fact, it is definitely possible to install an air conditioner yourself. If you purchase an air conditioner through Aquaconsult and wish to install it yourself, you will receive all the information in a manual where everything is clearly explained.
Also, can you use the air conditioner without an outdoor unit as a heater in winter as well?
Yes, it can. A monoblock air conditioner often works with a heat pump. This means that the air conditioner can both cool and heat your home. This is a significant advantage today, as the low energy consumption allows you to heat your home energy-efficiently with an air conditioning unit.
How does a heat pump air conditioner work?
Although the name would not suggest it, a heat pump is not only used to heat a home. This technology is also used to cool a home. But how does it work?
Want to heat the room? Then a heat pump draws cold air from the room to heat it in the unit and then release the air back into the room. Do you want to cool the room? Then the opposite happens.
Our Innova Monoblock air conditioners work with this system.
Where is best to place an air conditioner without an outdoor unit?
There are two places in a home that are most commonly used for an air conditioner without an outdoor unit. One of those places is the living room. After all, that is - normally - the room in the house where you spend the most time. With an air conditioner without an outdoor unit, you have a pleasantly fresh living room in the summer and a cozy warm living room in the winter.
The second place is a bedroom. After all, there's nothing worse than a bedroom that's too hot in the summer or an icy cold bedroom in the winter. Thanks to the Innova Monoblock air conditioner, that's a thing of the past.
