Air Conditioning Capacity

The cooling power or capacity of the air conditioner when installing your new system is measured in BTU - short for British Thermal Unit. To give you an idea of how this measure is calculated, consider that 1 BTU represents the amount of cold required to reduce the water temperature by 0.56 ° C.

This measure interferes, for example, when dimensioning the size of the space where the air conditioner will be installed, considering the density and weight of the water. That is why, in the smallest rooms in the house, the smaller capacity devices can do the job.

In addition, other factors may also interfere with the device's ability to operate, such as sunlight in the room and the number of people and electronic devices in the room.

To give you a more accurate idea of the ideal air conditioning capacity for your home needs, consider the following indications:

for an area of 9 m², an air conditioner of 7,500 BTUs (morning sun) or 9,000 BTUs (all day sun) is required;
for an area of 12 m², an air conditioner of 9,500 BTUs (morning sun) or 10,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required;
for an area of 20 m², an air conditioner of 10,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 12,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required;
for an area of 25 m², an air conditioner of 12,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 16,000 BTUs (all day sun) is required;
for an area of 30 m², an air conditioner of 16,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 18,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required;
for an area of 40 m², an air conditioner of 18,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 21,000 BTUs (all day sun) is required;
for an area of 50 m², an air conditioner of 21,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 30,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required;
for an area of 60 m², an air conditioner of 22,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 30,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required;
for an area of 70 m², an air conditioner of 30,000 BTUs (morning sun) or 30,000 BTUs (sun all day) is required.

Installation Of Air-Conditioning

As we said, analyzing the place where the appliance will be installed from repair services makes all the difference to ensure the best use and efficiency of the air conditioning. In addition to this issue, other factors are essential for proper installation. We have listed five aspects that you need to consider. Check out:
