How do I know what size air conditioner to buy?
To calculate the size, simply multiply the length times the width of the room or area to be cooled. Then, as a practical number, multiply that total times 25 BTU. This allows ample cooling, whether it is a rainy, moist day or a hot, sunny, humid day.
Can an air conditioner be too big for a room?
When an AC system is too big, it won’t run regular cycles. As a result, the cycles will not be long enough to remove humidity from the air (which is a big deal living in Florida). Generally, it takes a cycle of 20 to 30 minutes to cool and dehumidify the air.
Should I leave my window AC on all day?
Experts tell us that it is safe to have your window air conditioner running 24/7. No part inside the air conditioner will get too hot and melt if you keep it running all day. The performance of the air conditioner, too, won’t suffer if you forget to turn it off.
Is it better to get a bigger air conditioner?
An “oversized” air conditioner will cool your house quicker, but it will use more electricity and will not remove humidity adequately. Contrary to popular belief – and intuition – long AC system run cycles are far more desirable and energy efficient than short-run cycles.
