Use of air conditioning units

Measures for temperature regulation

The right room temperature during the summer heat is crucial for well-being and sleep quality.

Cool your apartment and rooms. Tips for combating heat in your home

Q: What is the ideal room temperature for sleeping?

The recommended temperature in the bedroom is 16–18 °C . This cool environment supports sleep quality and reduces the risk of night sweats or circulatory problems.

Q: What is the optimal room temperature in living and working rooms?

For living and working spaces , 20–22 °C is considered comfortable. This temperature ensures well-being without unnecessary overheating and simultaneously saves heating energy .

Q: Which is better: monoblock or split air conditioner?

Split units are quieter and more efficient, but more expensive. Monoblock units are cheaper and easier to install, but are louder and less powerful for larger rooms.

Q: How can I cool rooms without air conditioning?

In addition to air conditioning, fans , evaporative cooling (e.g. damp cloths on the window), shutters and ventilation during the cool hours of the day also help.

Q: How often should I clean my air conditioner?

Filters and water tanks should be cleaned at least once a month —more often with frequent use. This prevents germ growth and maintains efficiency.

Q: Does it make sense to regulate the room temperature even in winter?

Yes, even in winter, don't overheat rooms. The recommended maximum temperature is 20°C in living areas . At the same time, temperatures should be avoided below 14°C to prevent mold growth .

Smart temperature control in your home is important not only in summer, but year-round. Comfortable room temperatures increase well-being and promote health.

In winter, it is important to avoid overheating. Living spaces do not have to be tropically warm. As a rule of thumb, the Federal Environment Agency , the temperature in the living area to maximum ~20 °C to hold (if perceived as comfortable) Every degree less saves heating energy (approximately 6% per degree) and reduces CO₂ emissions. Of course, heating should not be too low either: Below ~14–15 °C, the Danger of mold clearly .

How can I lower the room temperature indoors, both in summer heat and year-round?

The following guidelines are recommended all year round :

Space	Recommended temperature
Living room / study	approx. 20–22 °C (comfortable, without unnecessary overheating)
bedroom	approx. 16–18 °C (cool for restful sleep)
nursery	approx. 20–22 °C (similar to living room; babies and toddlers not too warm)
Kitchen	approx. 18–20 °C (slightly cooler, as cooking generates heat)
pantry	approx. 15–20 °C (dark, well-ventilated; cool storage climate for food)
basement rooms	approx. 10–15 °C (unheated basement for storage; prevents condensation and mold)

Mobile Klimageräte

Mobile Klimageräte sind eine flexible Option zur Raumkühlung, insbesondere in Mietwohnungen oder bei fehlender Möglichkeit zur Installation fester Anlagen helfen Klimageräte effizient zum senken der Raumtemperatur.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of mobile air conditioners?

Mobile air conditioners are a flexible option for cooling rooms, especially in rented apartments or where it is not possible to install fixed systems, air conditioners help to lower the room temperature.

Advantages

Flexibility: Easy transport between rooms.
Installation: No structural changes required.
Functionality: Many devices also offer heating, dehumidification, or air purification functions.
Price advantage & mobility : Mobile systems are significantly more affordable than a permanently installed solution. Furthermore, a mobile device can be easily moved or relocated to other rooms.

Disadvantages

Energy consumption: Higher power consumption compared to permanently installed air conditioning systems.
Noise level: Can be louder than split units.
Efficiency: Less effective at cooling large rooms.

Tips for use

Exhaust hose: Ensure a good seal at the window to prevent warm air from flowing back.
Ventilation: Ventilate briefly during the cooler morning and evening hours; keep windows and doors closed during operation.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning of filters and water tanks to prevent germ formation.

The air cooler

Further measures for temperature regulation

In addition to using air conditioners, there's another inexpensive way to combat heat in your home: a cool breeze!

to the air coolers

Evaporative cooling

Damp cloths in front of open windows can cool the room air through evaporation.

Even better are air coolers that use a similar system but also have a powerful fan built in. These so-called air coolers can create a fresh and pleasant breeze.

Practical measures

Sun protection: Roller shutters, blinds, awnings and curtains prevent rooms from heating up due to direct sunlight and increased outside temperatures.

Plants: Houseplants improve the indoor climate through evaporation and shade and usually help to keep rooms pleasantly cool.

Electronic devices: Avoid unnecessary operation of devices that emit heat.

FAQ block on air conditioning:

The recommended temperature in the bedroom is 16–18 °C . This cool environment supports sleep quality and reduces the risk of night sweats or circulatory problems.

For living and working spaces , 20–22 °C is considered comfortable. This temperature ensures well-being without unnecessary overheating and simultaneously saves heating energy .

Air coolers are inexpensive, portable, require no exhaust ducting, and consume little electricity. However, they are only effective in dry climates. Evaporative cooling increases humidity, provides less cooling than air conditioners, and requires regular refilling of water and ice packs. They are a good alternative to fans and air conditioners when humidity is low and strong cooling performance isn't needed.

Portable air conditioners draw in warm room air, cool it using a refrigerant system , and then return the cooled air. The heat is usually expelled outside via an exhaust hose.

Split units are quieter and more efficient, but more expensive. Monoblock units are cheaper and easier to install, but are louder and less powerful for larger rooms.
