Energy Efficient RV AC Units

Energy Efficiency

The energy efficiency of a RV air conditioning unit is measured by its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. Units with higher SEER ratings use less energy and cost less to operate than those with lower ratings. In addition to energy efficiency, these units also help manage humidity by exchanging humid indoor air with drier outdoor air, which prevents mold growth and improves indoor air quality. Moreover, many HRVs have tilted core designs to enhance heat and moisture exchange as well as facilitating efficient drainage.

They can be run on RV batteries or shore power and can be used while the rig is moving or stationary. RV rooftop ACs are available in various sizes and power levels to suit different RVs. Some larger RVs, like motorhomes and 5th wheels may even have multiple RV AC units to effectively cool the entire rig.

These RV air conditioners connect to a ducting system in the RV and blow the cool air into the camper. They can also be connected to a thermostat, which allows you to control how cool or warm your RV is. RV ducted air conditioners are available in either low or high profile designs to fit the specific requirements of your RV.

There are also a number of ductless RV air conditioners, including window units and under-bench models. These smaller ACs can be used to supplement an existing rooftop AC or as a replacement for a non-working RV AC.

One of the best ways to keep your RV’s air conditioning system in tip top shape is simply to maintain it regularly. This includes replacing the filter regularly. This is usually a simple process of removing a piece of the ceiling assembly.rv refrigerator
