Get The Most Out Of Your Air Conditioner A bigger air conditioner will not always furnish more cooling. It should be sized for the room area. If properly sized it may operate long enough to get rid of moisture from the air. It is the moisture extracted from the room which actually produces the feeling of cooling. Unfortunately many customers in their rush to purchase a window air conditioner buy too large a model.
Too big of a unit can actually provide less cooling than a smaller, properly sized unit. This is because with an oversized air conditioner its run time is too short. Consequently it does not minutes and does a bad job of cooling, it is probably oversized for the room.
Air conditioners are rated in BTU's. British Thermal Units are a measurement of how much heat is being transferred form the room being cooled to where the heat is dumped out of doors. This is why the cooing coil inside the room is cool to the touch, while the part that hangs outside is super hot.
A window air conditioner used in the average household room can be as low as 4000 british thermal unit. While 5000, 6000, and 8000 are the most common sizes purchased.
How do I decide what size A/C I need?
Following is a standard sizing chart for calculating the window air conditioner necessary for a room. Calculate the size of the room by multiplying the width of the room by the length of the room. Use your room size to determine what BTU's are mandatory to cool that particular room size.
room in sq ft-----room in sq m-----A/C size in BTU's
one hundred - 250............9 - 23............5000 - 6000
250 - 400...........23 - 37............6000 - 8500
400 - 550...........37 - 51............8000 - 11000
550 - 875...........51 - 81...........11000 - 15000

Which is the best room for placement of an air conditioner?
Wherever it gives the most comfort is where it should be installed. If you only have 1 air conditioner then we usually suggest the bedroom. This is since most people find that if they can sleep comfortably during a hot summertime night then their next days work will be a lot easier. Getting through a hot day at work becomes a whole lot easier when you know you will sleep comfortably that night.
Some individuals do not like a cool sleeping environment so they will tend to place it in a living room or family room. Or some people will place it in the family room due to the fact the whole family can sleep there. Get out the sleeping bags and turn it into an adventure for the young ones. Beats waking up in the morning to discover a dog, cat, and four kids in the bed with you.
Also window air conditioner could be noisy, which may disturb sleep. Others find the drone of the fan in fact promotes sleep due to all the neighbourhood noises are drowned out. Some people say the air conditioner works as well as a sleeping pill
But whichever room you finally pick don't expect the impossible from you're A/C. It is not meant to cool more than one room or one open area. Air conditioners do not cool other rooms? This is because the blower in a window air conditioner is not very powerful. It is sized to cool 1 open area, not a number of interconnected rooms. Therefore once again a couple of smaller units might be better for your home than one large unit.
Lastly, remember to properly secure the air conditioner in the window. Once installed a piece of wood to stop the window from being lifted up is a smart idea. If you have wooden sills the simple addition of a wood screw at the top of the raised window (the 1 you had to raise to install the A/C) will only take a minute. Otherwise an intruder might gain access to the home by lifting the window and letting the A/C fall out. This may result in the loss of both your valuables and the air conditioner.
