Should I turn off my Room Air Conditioner when I'm not home?
How do I choose the right size Room AC? A quick and easy way to determine the right size is to refer to the chart below.
Make adjustments for the following circumstances: - If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by 10%. - If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10%. - If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person. - If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs. - Consider where you install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow in the right direction. - For the purpose of this chart, rooms that are connected by permanently open entryways wider than five feet ought to be considered as one room and their square footage should be combined. |
