Monoblock Air Conditioning: One Of The Most Affordable Options On The Market In in Trinidad.

A monobloc air conditioner: What is it?

As its name suggests, monobloc air conditioning comes in the form of a single auxiliary cooling unit. It is one of the most convenient and most common types of air conditioning used in residential settings.

Monoblock air conditioners are used to cool the interior of a home. In order to do so, the system has air pipes attached used to disperse heated air outside.

This system is most commonly used to cool small spaces, specifically one room. In turn, it is not recommended to use monoblock air conditioners in large spaces as it will fail to generate enough energy required to cool the entire space.

Monoblock air conditioning is used in small residential settings and in environments, such as in Trinidad, that do not require air conditioning all year round.

Monoblock air conditioners can be fixed or portable. A system that is fixed is floor mounted and cannot be transported easily. Portable air conditioners are easily moveable and not mounted, making them convenient and affordable.

The components of a monobloc air conditioner

Generally speaking, air conditioning works very much like a refrigerator.

It is composed of an evaporator, placed inside the room, and a condenser, which is installed outdoors.

The 4 components of air conditioning:

1. the compressor
2. the condenser
3. the regulator
4. the evaporator

Monoblock air conditioners differ from other air conditioners in that all 4 components are combined into a single unit.

There are 2 types of air conditioners that are very common among residential settings in Trinidad.

• A split air conditioner (one outdoor condenser and at least one indoor unit)
• Monobloc air conditioner

This article will concentrate on monobloc air conditioners. These units in particular are a popular solution when cooling a small space because they are easy to install and lower in cost.

As the name suggests, monobloc air conditioning is composed of a single unit, which is stationed indoors. Since monobloc air conditioning is limited in capacity, it is known to be a great back-up or used to cool small spaces.

There are different types of monobloc air conditioners. For example, there is a portable/mobile unit, floor mounted unit, wall mounted unit, and a wall unit.

If you’re looking for an economical and simple system to cool down a small space, a monobloc air conditioner may be the perfect solution for you.

Let’s discover which type of unit will fit your needs.

Once you’ve estimated the cost of the unit itself and its installation costs (if any), it will be much easier to plan your budget.

Don’t forget about operating costs! The operating costs of an air conditioner are dependent on the amount of energy used. Operating costs are also dependent on climate. For example, in Trinidad will you be using your air conditioner solely in the summer or in both the summer and winter? Be sure to choose a system that has the capacity to cool your space.

Energy consumption will affect cost. Every unit has an energy label where you will find the energy class. The energy class indicates the unit’s amount of power. This will allow you to better estimate the cost of electricity per kWh.
