Room Air Conditioners
If every room air conditioner sold in the U.S. were
ENERGY STAR qualified, it would prevent 1.3 billion pounds
of greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent emissions from 115,000 cars.
 Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency
guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S.
Department of Energy.
ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners use at least 10% less energy
than conventional models.
ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners often include
timers for better temperature control, allowing you to use the
minimum amount
of energy you need to cool your room.

Properly Sized Room Air Conditioners
Many
people buy an air conditioner that is too large, thinking
it will provider better cooling. However,
an oversized air
conditioner is actually less effective —and wastes
energy at the same time. Air conditioners remove both heat
and humidity from the air. If the unit is too large, it will
cool the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity.
This leaves the room with a damp, clammy feeling. A properly
sized unit will remove humidity effectively as it cools.
To figure out which size unit is best for your cooling
needs:
-
Determine the square footage of the area to be cooled
using the following formulas:
- For square and rectangular rooms, multiply the length
of the area by its width
- For a triangular area, multiply the length of the
area by the width and divide by 2
Most rooms can be further divided into these basic shapes
to determine the square footage.
If the shape of your room is other than square or rectangular,
ask your sales associate to help you determine the square
footage.
-
Using the square footage and the chart below, determine
the correct cooling capacity. Cooling capacity is measured
in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour.
| Area To Be Cooled (square feet) |
Capacity Needed (BTUs per hour) |
| 100 to 150 |
5,000 |
| 150 to 250 |
6,000 |
| 250 to 300 |
7,000 |
| 300 to 350 |
8,000 |
| 350 to 400 |
9,000 |
| 400 to 450 |
10,000 |
| 450 to 550 |
12,000 |
| 550 to 700 |
14,000 |
| 700 to 1,000 |
18,000 |
| 1,000 to 1,200 |
21,000 |
| 1,200 to 1,400 |
23,000 |
| 1,400 to 1,500 |
24,000 |
| 1,500 to 2,000 |
30,000 |
| 2,000 to 2,500 |
34,000 |

-
Make any adjustments for the following circumstances:
- If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by
10 percent.
- If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10
percent.
- 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.
