Classic Air Conditioners is a type of air conditioner that
was introduced in the late thirties. It is popular with those who appreciate
old-fashioned air conditioning. This brand offers two main options; the base
model and the dual combo models. The base model air conditioner can cool only
one room while the dual combo models can cool up to four rooms. These units can
be used in residential, commercial and even outdoor applications.
Classic AC's have a number of features which make them
different from modern versions. These older versions feature evaporator coils
which distribute warm air throughout the room rather than relying on a cooling
fan to push air through the coil. In this way the warm air remains close to the
coil and is therefore more efficient. Some models also have an adjustable
thermostat that allows the unit to maintain a comfortable temperature for the
room. Others have automatic shut off capabilities.
Classic AC's are known for their distinctive style and range
of colors. They can be sleek and modern or dark and woodsy. Some units come in
a single color but there are ones available in multiple colors such as red,
blue, yellow, white and black. The unique styling is one of the reasons for
their popularity. Many customers like the ability to personalize their air
conditioners.
A second distinctive characteristic of these models is that
they often sport the now infamous coil whine. The coil whine is characterized
by a high pitched squeak that only occurs when the air blower is in use. It
occurs at the start of every season and goes away as the air cools down. Some
consumers claim that the annoying coil whine actually serves a useful purpose
in some models.
If you are looking for an air conditioner that is silent to
run, the coil whine may not be the ideal option. However, many experts claim
that the appearance of a silent running air conditioner is more important than
its noise output. If you are determined to keep your air conditioner silent,
there are some options available. For instance, you could paint the outer shell
to cover up any visible sign of the coil whine.
You may also choose to buy an air conditioner with a
pre-installed coil whine mechanism. Alternatively, you may decide to buy a unit
that is silent but comes with a manual option to turn it off and on. In the
end, it is up to you to make the decision about which type of air conditioner
is right for you and your family. Whatever your choice, rest assured that you
will enjoy many seasons of cool and comfortable air with a Classic Air
Conditioner.
