How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner
Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot.
Calculating Cooling Capacity
Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs.
Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly.
We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on:
- Room Dimensions
- A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows
- The number of people it will serve
- Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances
- An explanation of what's above the intended room
- Your insulation provisions
Cooling Capacity by Room Size
Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. Locate the room size in the chart below to select the appropriate BTUs. Then use the product information to select the unit for your room. When cooling rooms with uninsulated ceilings, great rooms, or southern or western sun exposures - step up to the next BTU size.
| Room Size | BTU |
|
| Sq. Ft. | Sq. m | |
| 150 | 14 | up to 5,000 |
| 165 | 15 | 5,200 |
| 216 | 20 | 6,000 |
| 350 | 33 | 8,000 |
| 425 | 39 | 9,000 |
| 500 | 46 | 10,000 |
| 640 | 60 | 14,00 |
| 900 | 84 | 15,100 |
| 1,110 | 103 | 18,000 |
| 1,170 | 109 | 18,500 |
| 1,435 | 133 | 22,000 |
| 1,672 | 154 | 25,000 |
| 1,960 | 182 | 28,500 |

After struggling for years with windowless portable units, I finally gave up and installed this casement unit. I have only used this a few times since installing the unit, but it's very powerful and cools much more efficiently than a portable windowless unit, even if they have the same btu rating. It is slightly loud, but works great and is a greater value than the other options I have tried over 14 years in a small (14' x 24' with 9' ceilings) south facing high (18th) floor pre-war studio apartment in Manhattan. My exterior wall has two large casement windows, 70% glass, with massive solar gain in the summer months.

Rated 5 out of 5 Works well!
I was able to install it through a wood frame wall without major reconstruction. It just barely can be squeezed between 2 wood studs 16" OC. A unit 1/4" to 1/2" narrower would be easier to install. I wish a through the wall kit would have been included. I am very happy with the unit & the service of AJ Madison. I wish there`was a meaningful protective screen to protect the fins. I have asked Fiigidaire if they know of a source.
