Product Information

As recommended by The U.S. Department of Energy, the ballpark figure is 20 BTU per sq ft. That is a very good estimate already.

Cons: Set up took longer than others, one-year warranty, terrible energy efficiency compared to window ACs The equation for ‘ sq ft to BTU‘ is quite simple – multiply the sq ft with 20. That means that a 500 sq ft room needs a 10,000 BTU air conditioner. Of course, do make sure to buy an AC unit that is a bit stronger if you have high ceilings, live in a hot climate, and have an above-average sun in those rooms. However, to get a perfectly-sized air conditioner with just right enough cooling power and no energy overspending, you should consider some additional factors. These are: Along with the factors discussed above and their effect on BTU usage, there are other factors to keep in mind: You can start with a smaller cheaper portable dehumidifier. If that dehumidifier, working with the 5 ton AC unit, can lower the humidity levels below 50%, your AC will be able to generate more airflow and provide relatively more cooling since it doesn’t have to struggle against high humidity levels. If a portable dehumidifier is too small, a ducted dehumidifier is a solution.The Haier ESAQ406TZ Window Air Conditioner registered the lowest noise output of any of the units in our testing. On low, our sound meter measured 41.9 decibels, which is almost as quiet as a library. Even on high, it was only slightly louder than a normal conversation at 51.4 decibels. Coupled with the low Btu output, this is the ideal unit for bedrooms and home offices. Buyers are impressed by the energy efficiency, the speed of cooling, ease of assembly, and the four-way vented airflow outlet. I have a bit of a complex room I am looking to install a window ac unit and was hoping for some btu guidance. Pros: Good cooling for its size, quiet operation, easy installation, seemed to improve air quality during testing, Energy Star-certified, multi-directional vent control Pros:Long warranty on the sealed refrigerant system, WiFi connectivity, fits a broad range of window sizes, performed the best in our cooling tests

We cover this topic extensively in our comparison of portable air conditioners vs window air conditioners, but the short answer is: window units, for most people. If you plan on using your air conditioner in your kitchen, or any area of your home where your appliances will likely generate higher levels of heat, you will need to add 4,000 BTUs to the recommended cooling power. The Midea MAW08V1QWT U Inverter Window Air Conditioner features a unique U-shape design that allows you to open the window when it's installed, and it's one of only a few ACs to earn Energy Star's "Most Efficient" certification. Energy Star certification: The easiest way to determine if you're getting an energy efficient unit is to look for Energy Star certification. This is a program run by the US Department of Energy and EPA to promote energy efficiency. "Any window AC model that earns the Energy Star label is independently certified to save energy, save money, and help protect the climate," says Jones. Not too big. Obviously, you don’t want a 14,000 BTU window air conditioner for a small 12×12 room because it unnecessarily boosts your energy bill.Hello, I’m looking for a solution for our new house with casement windows. Ultimately, I know a mini-split system will be best, but it’s out of our budget right now. So, we’re looking at getting several portable units with plexiglass window covers (with cutouts for the exhaust). The master bedroom is on the 2nd floor, 425 sf, including the bathroom. Mostly 8′ ceilings with one peaked area up to 12′. I’m assuming a 12,000 or 13,000 BTU unit. Another bedroom is 160 sf, so I’m assuming an 8,000 BTU unit. We probably won’t run this one unless we have guests. Now here’s the fun part- an open concept area with the living room, dining room, kitchen, plus the hall, laundry room, a half bath, and a full bath. That area is about 900 or 1000 sf, with many windows and a cathedral ceiling in the living room up to 25 feet or more. I’m thinking 3 units- one in the living room, one in the laundry room doorway in the hall (aimed at the kitchen), and one on the upstairs landing above the living room. But I don’t know what size I’ll need for those 3 units. Any advice? Anything we need to be aware of for electrical systems? Or single vs dual hose units? We’re in the northeast US. Thanks for your help! Reply With noise levels as low as 67 decibels, this air conditioner is relatively quiet considering its size. However, we read some reports that say it’s noisy. A window-mounting kit is included, allowing for simple installation. The air filter is removable and washable for easy maintenance, and an indicator light will alert you when the filter needs to be washed or replaced. Note that this unit requires a 230-volt outlet for operation; it will not work with a standard 120-volt outlet. The BTU needed to cool down a room of known footage that can be calculated. According to The U.S. Department Of Energy recommendation for the size of room air conditioners: This 8,000 BTU unit cools rooms up to 450 square feet. With an Energy Star certification and a CEER rating of 15, it’s one of the most efficient options in our roundup. In addition to a remote control, the Midea Window Air Conditioner also comes with smart features to make operation a breeze. It can be controlled via the Midea Air app, Google Assistant, or Alexa–even if you’re away from home. It’s important to note that this unit can only be installed in hung windows. It’s also significantly pricier than other window air conditioners, but its ultra-quiet operation and smart technology are well worth the splurge. It's Alexa-enabled and also has smart capabilities through the LG ThinQ app (iOS and Android), which lets you schedule when the unit runs.

Pros: Can be controlled and scheduled using your phone, voice control, easy to move, performed well in cooling tests, fits a wide array of window types and sizesUse this calculator to estimate the cooling needs of a typical room or house, such as finding out the power of a window air conditioner needed for an apartment room or the central air conditioner for an entire house. Size It is Energy Star-certified and was middle-of-the-road in energy use among the tested models. While running on high for an hour, it used 0.4 kWh. A full function remote control, washable and reusable filter that easily slides out for cleaning, and castor wheels and integrated handles for convenient maneuverability and transport make this product user-friendly. The TOSOT 8,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner and the FRIGIDAIRE Mini-Compact Air Conditioner share a number of features: a thermostat on the remote control, multiple adjustable settings for airflow and approval by Energy Star.
