Choosing a Room Air Conditioner

Room Air Conditioners versus Central Units

Room air conditioners offer several advantages over large-capacity central units, not the least of which is initial cost. In the right situation, operating costs can be much lower since you cool only the rooms in use rather than the cooling the entire house. By tailoring each room's climate to individual preferences, the result is personalized temperature and humidity comfort control, and usually a cost savings as well.

Calculating Cooling Capacity

The prime point in your purchasing decision is determining the proper cooling capacity - measured in BTU's (British Thermal Units.) Models are available with cooling capacities from 5,000 to around 28,000 BTU's. It's important that the unit you choose be specially selected for the room it will serve. Undersized units won't cool well and will overwork. Oversized units will operate inefficiently, cost more to buy and run, and are apt to dehumidify improperly. Your dealer will help you calculate the precise capacity you need. Be prepared to supply him with some specific information: a simple floor plan drawn to show all room dimensions, doors, windows, and which way is North; 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; and your insulation provisions.

BTU Cooling Capacity Needed by Room Size

Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine Sq. Ft. or Sq. m. Locate the Sq. Ft. or Sq. m in the columns below. Choose a BTU size from the chart for the area to be cooled.

Room Size			BTUs
Sq. Ft.	Sq. m
150	14	up to	5,000
165	15		5,200
215	20		6,000
350	33		8,000
425	39		9,000
500	46		10,000
640	60		14,000
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

NOTE: When cooling rooms with uninsulated ceilings, great rooms, or southern or western sun exposures step up to the next BTU size or consult your sales professional.
