How do I calculate what size air conditioner I need?
If you want to calculate the size of the air conditioner in a room, you have to take the length of the room and divide it by its width. To get the adequate cooling for the room under different weather conditions, you have to add 25 watt to the equation. If the room is 15 feet long and 12 feet wide, it will be 180 square feet.
What size air conditioner do I need for a 12×12 room?
When two people are in a room, the cooling capacity needs to be 5,000Btu. If the room is not heavily shaded, it only requires about 5,000 BTU. If the room is sunny, it requires more than 5,000 watt of electricity. 600 BTU is required for each person.
How many BTU do I need for a 20×20 room?
A 20×20 feet or 400 square feet room should have a 12,000 watt or 1 ton air conditioning unit. If your room is shaded, you can save money by using an air conditioning unit.
Which AC is best for bedroom?
The best AC for home is a 5-star one. It reduces energy use and is also friendly to the environment. It cools the room quicker than a 3-star AC and as you go higher up with the ratings, you will save more energy and money.
Which AC is better 1 ton or 1.5 ton?
1 ton ACs can provide just the amount of cooling that’s needed, and they don’t have to use a lot of electricity. The rule of thumb is that if your room is more than 200 square metres, you should choose an AC with a 1.5 ton capacity instead of a 1 ton AC.
What size AC do I need for 1000 square feet?
The standard rule of thumb is 1.5 ton per 1,000 square feet for air conditioners of this size.
What size room does an 8000 BTU air conditioner cool?
8000 BTU air conditioners can cool a room from 250 sq ft to 400 sq ft in 20 minutes. The best-selling 1/3 ton air conditioners can be used in 16×16 rooms.
How many square feet will a 2.5 ton AC unit cool?
A home between 1,200 and 1,500 square feet can be effectively cooled with a 30,000 BTU, 2.5 ton air conditioner. A slightly larger 3,600, 3-ton unit can be used for homes that are between 1,500 and 1,800 square feet.
What size AC unit do you need for a 2000 sq ft house?
If your home is 2000 square feet, you can compare your needs to those of a 1600 square foot house. If you want to cool 400 square feet of your home, you’ll need about a ton of cooling capacity. You will get 60,000 BTUs if you add 12,000 to it.
