How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner
Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have
several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is
significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air
conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are
reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized
temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot.
Calculating Cooling Capacity
Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room
air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units
(BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to
28,500 BTUs.
Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool
properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate
and it will not dehumidify properly.
We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on:
- Room Dimensions
- A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows
- The number of people it will serve
- Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances
- An explanation of what's above the intended room
- Your insulation provisions
Cooling Capacity by Room Size
Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the
length by the width to determine square footage or square meters.
Locate the room size in the chart below to select the appropriate BTUs.
Then use the product information to select the unit for your room. When
cooling rooms with uninsulated ceilings, great rooms, or southern or
western sun exposures - step up to the next BTU size.
| Room Size | BTU |
| | Sq. Ft. | Sq. m |
| | 150 | 14 | up to 5,000 | | 165 | 15 | 5,200 | | 216 | 20 | 6,000 | | 350 | 33 | 8,000 | | 425 | 39 | 9,000 | | 500 | 46 | 10,000 | | 640 | 60 | 14,00 | | 900 | 84 | 15,100 | | 1,110 | 103 | 18,000 | | 1,170 | 109 | 18,500 | | 1,435 | 133 | 22,000 | | 1,672 | 154 | 25,000 | | 1,960 | 182 | 28,500 |
