Air Conditioners and Heaters for Year Round Comfort
Adequate temperature control is essential for human comfort and productivity. Room temperatures that are hot or too cold can be distracting and discomforting. In some cases, intense or prolonged exposure to environments with extreme temperatures can even cause sleep disturbances or agitate arthritis pain.
At Sears, you will find a wide assortment of heaters and air conditioners to fit any space, blend in with any decor style, accommodate a wide range of budgets and help you achieve ideal temperatures throughout your home. With Sears providing unbeatable prices on small electric heaters and the lowest prices on large window air conditioners, there is no reason to suffer in an environment with extreme temperatures.
Before choosing air conditioners and heaters for your home, first consider the size and type of space you would like to cool and heat. Small bedrooms or offices may only require small yet efficient window fans. On the other hand, larger areas may necessitate investing in more powerful central air conditioners for optimal results.
Air conditioners and heaters are categorized by their levels of BTUs or British Thermal Units. A single BTU describes the amount of heat required to warm a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Heaters with BTU ratings produce that much heat while air conditioners with the same BTU rating remove that much heat. Generally, a 10-foot-by-10 foot room requires 2,600 to 3,200 BTU per hour in air conditioning while a 20-foot-by-20 foot room requires a unit that removes between 9,575 and 11,700 BTU per hour. Kitchens, often the most heavily used areas in the home, generally require an additional 4,000 BTU per hour. A single person in the room adds approximately 300 BTU per hour, which is important to take into consideration when purchasing a unit for an office or main living area.
Sears offers a wide range of convenient, portable air conditioners which consumers can install or set up themselves, whether in a window or simply in a corner of a room. Most window units sit inside an open window and expand to fill any unused space. Be sure to measure your windows and note the way the windows open before shopping for window air conditioners, as there are different models available for windows that open vertically and horizontally.
Certain portable floor units double as air conditioners and heaters such as the Whynter 5-in-1 Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier and Heater. These combination units can be very cost-effective and provide the convenience of an all-in-one solution.
Sears also offer heaters in a wide range of sizes and types. Small units, such as a simple electric fan heater, sit on the floor and use a fan to dispense the heat. EdenPURE produces infrared heaters that direct heat in a straight line as well as fan heaters that oscillate, or turn, in several directions. Kerosene heaters, such as the Sengoku Portable Radiant Kerosene Heater, run quieter than fan heaters and often produce more heat. Electric radiator-style heaters also are available, such as the DeLONGHI Oil-Filled Radiator.
Electric fireplaces provide a popular and decorative heating alternative. These fireplaces do not actually burn wood-burning logs or produce fire. Instead, they are electric heaters fashioned to look like traditional fireplaces. Although often more expensive than other heaters, electric fireplaces provide the romantic ambience of a traditional fireplace without the mess or hazard. Estate Design has produced many electric fireplace heaters, some of which are made to look like freestanding, wood-burning stoves while others are encased in a mantle like a traditional recessed fireplace.
