Before choosing an air conditioner for the new home, there are several parameters to consider. Assaf Gris, VP of Marketing for the Tornado Consumer Products Company, which markets the Tornado and Saga air conditioners, provides professional tips for choosing an air conditioner.

1. Adapt the design of the air conditioner to your home If in the past an air conditioner was considered a 'white box' that does not add to the living room of your home, today you can choose an air conditioner with a modern appearance, which will be part of the overall design of the living room or room. There is a wide variety of air conditioners in different designs and colors that you can match to the design of your home.

For example, Legend Design is a flat air conditioner marketed in black. In addition there is the Legend Multi Inverter series with one motor and hidden units, which can be installed so that the air conditioner takes on the appearance of a decorative shutter.

2. Ask for and receive professional advice - before any air conditioner purchase, it is important to ask for professional advice. The type of air conditioner that is right for you is determined by many parameters: the area of the air conditioning, the number of people in the space, different regions of the country and the air directions of the windows. It is important that you make a conscious decision about what is more important to you in your choice

Air conditioner: which should be economical in electricity or maybe a designed air conditioner. A pre-purchase consultation will ensure that you have made the right purchase for you for the required space. Most marketers provide professional advice for a fee, but there are leading marketing chains that do not charge a fee for this (the giant air conditioning network, the World of Mixing network and the Net Mixing network).

3. Choose a certified installer - Before you choose an air conditioner installer, make sure that he has a reputation and that he has a certification certificate from the company from which you purchased the air conditioner. The company must state that the installer has undergone training and is familiar with its air conditioner. Once you have chosen the right company for you, ask them for a recommendation for a certified installer on their behalf.

4. Do not compromise on the issue of the warranty years - before purchasing the air conditioner, verify the number of years of warranty provided by the company. The warranty indicates the company's confidence in the quality of its products and their durability over time. The Tornado company is the only company that provides a full 5-year warranty on Legend models, compared to Electra and Tadiran, which provide a warranty ranging from two to three years.

5. Do not compromise on the quality of the product. When choosing an air conditioner, it is very important to pay attention to the main features that can significantly affect the quality of your life at home and of course also on the electricity bill, for example:

A. Energy rating - The energy rating determines the level of electricity utilization of the air conditioner, and of course it is desirable to choose an air conditioner with an A energy rating that is the most economical in electricity. Throughout the harsh Israeli summer, the savings can be expressed in hundreds of shekels.

B. Quiet - so that the house is not filled with noise, it is important to choose an air conditioner that guarantees quiet and pleasant operation, all the more so when it comes to an air conditioner for the bedroom.Each air conditioner has a G4 battery - a unique battery that creates acoustic insulation and thus allows for high air conditioning in silent silence.

C. Special features - each air conditioner has different features, which can affect your level of comfort at home, for example the Follow Me technology of Tornado Legend air conditioners that adjusts the temperature in the air-conditioned space exactly according to the customer's wishes thanks to the sensors on the remote control, which update the air conditioner on the temperature The desired Vertical Swing technology, which distributes the air flow to a wider area by combining vertical and horizontal air flow, and Sleep technology - a feature for a stable temperature at night that prevents over-air conditioning and thus enables a pleasant and energy-saving sleep.

Among the series that meet all the mentioned criteria are the Tornado LED Super Legend series of air conditioners that are particularly economical in electricity with an energy rating A, and the Tornado Legend A series that offers a wide range of air conditioners from 9,700 BTH (1 HP) to 37,450 BTH (4.5 HP ) operating with the environment in mind and significant electricity savings with an A energy rating.
