Air Conditioning Installation Tips For Your Guest House

Posted on

If you have just had a guest house built on your property, or if you're making some major renovations and improvements to your existing guest house, you might be thinking about installing an air conditioning unit. After all, if you live in an area with a warm climate — at least in the summer months — you probably want to make sure that your guests can stay comfortable. These tips for installing air conditioning in your guest house are sure to be helpful.

Ask About Different Options

First, you should ask an air conditioning installation professional for their advice about the best type of air conditioning unit to install in your guest house. This is going to depend on things like the size of the guest house, the climate in your area, the budget that you have to spend on air conditioning, and more. With larger guest houses, for example, a standard central air conditioning unit might be a good idea. If you have a smaller guest house or are on a budget and want to avoid the cost of having ductwork installed, then a mini-split unit or even a window unit air conditioner might be a good choice. Luckily, an air conditioning installer should have some pretty good advice for you so that you can choose the right system for your guest house.

Have a Programmable Thermostat Installed

Nowadays, programmable thermostats are typically considered to be the best choice in most homes and other structures. They can be particularly fitting in a guest house since you can use the programmable thermostat to avoid wasting energy when the guest house isn't in use. This is especially beneficial if you still want to make sure that it's at a nice, comfortable temperature when your guests arrive.

Offer Other Options for Keeping Guests Comfortable

Of course, installing an air conditioning unit in your guest house is a good way to make sure that your guests can stay comfortable. However, you may want to take a few other steps to accommodate your guests' preferences. For example, consider telling your guests that they are welcome to adjust the thermostat so that they can adjust the air conditioning system; you can even leave the instructions for the thermostat in a convenient place so that your guests can make adjustments when they want to. Additionally, you may want to provide a few throw blankets in case the air conditioning gets a little too chilly, or you may want to offer a fan or two for guests to use if they prefer.
