Although they are partially justified, we canstill witness extremely different opinions on gas install<strong>at</strong>ions.The realistic picture of gas usage in a householdsays th<strong>at</strong> entire machinery departments and plants usegas as primary fuel, and th<strong>at</strong> gas flows through giganticpipelines. Very few accidents caused by machineryor m<strong>at</strong>erial malfunctions have ever happened, as theyare almost exclusively caused by human mistakes. Th<strong>at</strong>is why, if you decide to choose this type of he<strong>at</strong>ing, youmust pay gre<strong>at</strong> <strong>at</strong>tention to the expertise and experienceof the firm th<strong>at</strong> installs and authorizes the system.The central-he<strong>at</strong>ing system has another disadvantage,which is particularly evident in warmer areas in the south,and th<strong>at</strong> is the fact th<strong>at</strong> the system offers exclusively– he<strong>at</strong>ing. Th<strong>at</strong> means th<strong>at</strong> central he<strong>at</strong>ing has enormousadvantages in continental parts, where the clim<strong>at</strong>edict<strong>at</strong>es the need of constantly having to keep the largerrooms warm, but the dynamic exchange of warmand cold periods in the Mediterranean coastal areademands a lot of focus on the summer cooling. In th<strong>at</strong>context, central he<strong>at</strong>ing is just an additional expense,and all the advantages of air conditioners are suddenlyvery clear.If we correctly choose the he<strong>at</strong>er th<strong>at</strong> can s<strong>at</strong>isfy thedimensions of the space in question, and we make nomistakes when we calcul<strong>at</strong>e the losses, the result couldturn out to be more than s<strong>at</strong>isfactory. Maintaining anair conditioner is extremely simple: all we have to do isregularly clean the filters, and clean the inside part ofthe unit once a year because the dust settles on theventil<strong>at</strong>or and the vaporizer. Air conditioners’ main disadvantagesunite the bad sides of convection and22central he<strong>at</strong>ing: regardless of whether it’s cooling orhe<strong>at</strong>ing the air, the air conditioner dries it up, and thereis the important issue of the large difference betweenthe outdoor temper<strong>at</strong>ure and the temper<strong>at</strong>ure wewant to achieve indoors. To be specific: if we want toachieve 22C in a room th<strong>at</strong> has 17C, the air conditionerwill release a spurt of 27-30 degrees until the roomachieves the desired temper<strong>at</strong>ure. Th<strong>at</strong> results in th<strong>at</strong>same feeling of discomfort th<strong>at</strong> occurs <strong>with</strong> convectionhe<strong>at</strong>ing, especially if we are loc<strong>at</strong>ed directly againstthe air currents. Cooling provides the same results: inorder to lower the room temper<strong>at</strong>ure from 30 degreesto 25 degrees, the air conditioner will release a spurt of22 degrees, so the direct impact of cold air will cre<strong>at</strong>eth<strong>at</strong> same feeling of discomfort. By the way, the condens<strong>at</strong>eth<strong>at</strong> is released from the air conditioner is nothingmore than humidity from the air in the room, so itwill be helpful if you have some moisturizers, which arealso helpful <strong>with</strong> central he<strong>at</strong>ing.Air conditioners are available in all kinds of shapes andsizes, and they are also fairly accessible. The more expensiveunits should guarantee a longer lifespan, butthe users’ experiences don’t always support th<strong>at</strong> theory.It is quite common th<strong>at</strong> some more expensive units actuallystop working before the least expensive ones, andthe quality of their work is identical. It is absolutely vitalfor the unit to be installed by authorized servicemen,and you must also receive a guarantee certific<strong>at</strong>e forany problems during the first year since the purchase.Before you choose the unit, it is also important to makethe correct space calcul<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>with</strong> losses, as well asestablish the condition of windows, doors, wall isol<strong>at</strong>ion
