Home theaters are becoming more and more popular in peoples houses. A home theater offers great family time and a cheap night in. So what sort of air conditioner should you put in your home theater? Read on to explore some essential tips about air conditioning your home theater.
Firstly and most importantly, if you have a projector you need to make sure the air from the air conditioner does not blow directly onto your movie screen. If any air blows directly on your screen, it will cause the scree to move around making the movie unwatchable. To stop this from happening, place the grille (or ductless wall split unit) so it blows across the room. Alternatively, set the airflow to blow down and away from the screen as much as possible. Some ductless units allow you to programme a fixed blowing direction which can help you out.
Secondly, theater rooms generate more warmth than other rooms. Theaters usually have up to 5 or 6 people in them at one time. The equipment located in theaters also emit a great deal of heat. Projectors, dvd players, speakers and game consoles all run quite hot and this will increase the heat load of your theater room. To counteract these problems, ensure the air conditioning unit is large enough to effectively cool the room. Consider upsizing to the next size ductless unit or adding another ducted grille to the room to increase the airflow.
Finally, theaters are often colored dark to stop reflections. If you have a ducted air conditioning unit, you can get grilles and vents powder coated. This powder coating can transform the usual white look grille into a darker color which will blend in and match your home theater. If you are installing a wall split (ductless) air conditioning unit, consider upgrading to a unit with a modern and stylish finish.
These tips will help keep your theater feeling cool and looking great.
