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 |

Yes, it is a little noisy but mostly in the high and middle speeds. BUT it cools the apartment really fast and works fine. The remote with temperature control is a plus. I bought the air conditioner over the internet on Sat and installed on Monday. Great Service and value from

Rated 4 out of 5 by Andy Long overdue purchase
After waiting and using used ac units for many years, decided to invest in new units. We were restricted by a small sleeve size so the unit purchased was the highest btu unit available.
So far so good.
Energy saver mode is a good feature.
Relatively quiet.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mel Do Not Buy This!
I bought this unit in March of 2009, and it died in May of 2011. The main control board and another board blew. Not covered under warranty. Frigidaire did nothing for me, other than to say I should have purchased an extended warranty. My response: The product must really stink if you can't expect it to last more than 2 years. Ridiculous. Stay away from this unit, and this brand. Pure garbage.
