CoolVerdict — Find the right AC in 60 seconds

CoolVerdict is an independent guide to buying and running a room air
conditioner in the US.

Start with the number that matters. The BTU calculator adjusts for your room's
size, climate zone, sun exposure, and insulation, rather than the
square-footage rule of thumb that gets roughly four in ten rooms wrong. From
there, compare currently-sold units side by side with specs stated in their
true efficiency metrics (CEER, EER, SEER, SEER2) instead of whichever figure
markets best, and see what each one actually costs to run on your state's
electricity rates.

When the job needs a professional, the directory lists vetted local HVAC
contractors, and HVAC Pulse tracks industry news daily.

Everything is free and needs no sign-up. Rankings come from the data alone: no
sponsored placement, no fake lab tests, and recalled units stay off the list no
matter how well they sold.
