How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner?

Picking a new air conditioner for your home may seem like a daunting task.  Let us simplify it for you!  The main key to picking an air conditioner is the cooling capacity which is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs).  Typically units range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs.

In order, to determine the BTU size unit you need we need to determine the size of the area. Simply, measure the length and width of the area to be cooled.  Multiply the length by the width to determine the square footage.  Next, take a look at the chart below to see what size unit would work best for you.

Keep in mind if the ceilings aren’t insulated or if there is sun exposure you may need to step up to the next BTU size.  In addition, if there are any heat sources such as lamps, televisions, etc. you may need to re-evaluate your selection.  It’s important to pick the right sized unit because an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly.  An over-sized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly.

If you have any questions, call our Air Conditioning Experts at 1-877-957-5377 and they can help assist you.

Now that I know what size unit to buy what’s next…..

What is EER or energy efficient ratio?  Room air conditioners are rated based upon how efficient they are, how many BTU’s per hour are used for each watt of power it draws. For example, an air conditioner that is 10,000 BTU’s and consumes 1,200 watts would be rated 8.3 (10,000 BTU/1,200 watts).  The higher the rating is, the more energy efficient the air conditioning unit is.
