In previous years, the windpipe was once a red product. It belongs to a towed embedded air conditioner, an external machine corresponding to an inner machine, which is hidden in the ceiling, leaving only a simple vent. The visual effects are close to expensive central air conditioners, which are cheaply priced by many as “civilian air conditioners”。
Over the past two years, however, there has been an increase in the voice of plowers in home-based forums and in the group of owners. A number of already installed owners indicated that they had been moved by a high-level appearance and had only slowly experienced a number of reality briefs. The windpipe is not nothing, but it has several hard and difficult flaws that allow more and more families to start choosing carefully。
The first point of pain was the difficulty of post-maintenance maintenance, which, in the event of failure, would probably have to be removed。
The internal, copper and condensed pipes of the windpipes are all enclosed within the ceiling. Although, at the time of installation, there would be a retrofit. The retort can only handle filters and simple circuit sensors。
In the event of problems such as leaks, electrical damage, failure of the main plate and leaks of the cooler, there is not enough room for the retort to operate and the repairer can only perform the repairs by removing the crane。
It's not like it's all done. After the plaster is broken, it is also necessary to repair, scrape and paint. A set of processes has been put down, which, in addition to maintenance costs, includes a significant restoration cost. Many of the owners of the web shared it, and it would cost thousands of dollars to replace a small piece worth several dozen dollars, to be removed and repaired。
Retrospect general hangers, cabinets, and the shell is directly exposed. When the machine malfunctions, the panels can be removed and repaired without the need to destroy the home renovation, and maintenance costs are much lower. Many home renovations are a one-off investment, and the fact that they do not want to move the slings for more than 10 or 8 years makes it impossible for many to move。
Secondly, the issue of noise and resonance is more prominent than expected。
Many people have the subjective belief that the machine is in the ceiling and the noise is smaller. The actual use is different。
The wind machine of the windpipe is above the hanger, and it functions with vibrations that can be passed directly to the plaster ceiling, creating resonance noise. Especially at night when people are quiet, the wind and the slight buzz will come down from the ceiling。
Occasional use of the living room is also reluctantly acceptable and can be easily disturbed by noise if placed in a bedroom, where the sleep is lighter. Even when a high-end machine is chosen, it is difficult to completely eliminate the noise generated by the resonance。
Thirdly, the cost of electricity consumption is not clear to many households in the early stages。
Many low-supplied old windpipes have been used to compress the set temperature, which stops directly after reaching the set temperature and increases and starts at full speed, with frequent start-ups and high energy consumption. Even in the current variant, the same number compares the general cabinets, the windpipes are more likely to run out of windways and, under the same conditions, the amount of electricity consumed is generally about 10-15 per cent higher。
Short-term visions are not clear, with long years of use, and the gap in electricity costs slowly becomes apparent. A number of owners have responded that windpipes are opened every summer in the living room at a cost of $1,200 per month more than the neighbours use。
Fourth, installation is a hidden project, the quality of which directly determines the experience over the next decade or so。
The wind pipes, which are typically hidden works, have to enter during the water and power renovation phase. The temperature of the copper pipe, the temperature of the cool condensed water drain and the temperature of the wind pipes are critical for each step。
If the slopes of the drainage pipeline are not set, it is highly likely that the drainage will not be smooth at a later stage and that an indoor leak will occur. After the slinging of the ceiling, there will be moldy, skin-lifting, falling and greater losses。
The poor installation of windways also raises problems of reduced wind volume and increased noise. The machine itself is of the best quality, and if the installation of the master's craftsmanship is not put in place, there will be a lot of bad things going on later。
Fifthly, cleaning is not convenient and windways are prone to asymmetrical deterioration。
The normal hanger allows the filters to be removed, the water washed and the maintenance completed in a few minutes。
The windpipe is relatively high and it is difficult for ordinary people to remove it. The filters and windways are in a closed and wet ceiling for long periods of time, gathering dust, breeding fungus, and then blowing a bad smell. In order to be able to clean the windways in depth, professionals must be brought to the door at a cost of $200 to $500 per year for a single clean-up, which would require an annual maintenance fee。
Having said so many shortcomings is not a complete denial of the windpipe. It continues to have its own advantages: beauty does not occupy ground space, gentleness does not blow the human body directly, and prices are more pro-people than the air conditioning of the whole house。
So what kind of family is really fit for a windpipe
The first is a new furry house with a full floor, which is at best 2. 7 metres high. Due to the installation of windpipes, the local ceiling is 25 to 30 centimetres down and, if the layer is not high enough, the interior is suffocated。
Second, it is mainly used in public areas such as restaurants, where the bedrooms prefer to have a hanger and, as far as possible, not even a windpipe。
The third is to pursue the retrofitting of paint, to make no-dominant lights, to be very simple, to be able to accept higher maintenance costs at a later stage, and to be willing to find a reliable construction team to strictly control the installation process。
For these types of families, it is recommended that careful consideration should be given to windpipes: condensed houses, old houses, which have been refurbished and are difficult to fit at a later stage; layers of less than 2. 6 metres high; shallow sleep and zero tolerance for noise; and budgetary constraints, with the hope that later maintenance will be as simple as possible, with the normal cabinet hanger often being a more pragmatic option。
All in all, the biggest selling point for the windpipes is the pastime, but there's a price to pay for this. Refurbishment shopping must not be limited to appearances, but must take full account of the long-term costs of maintenance, electricity consumption and noise. There is no perfect product for renovation, and it is for its own habit that it is the best。
Is that a wind pipe or a regular air conditioner? How's the experience? The comment section is welcome。
