Air conditioner btu's?
Question:i'm looking for an a/c for our bdrm...its 20x20, but since we'll only be using the a/c at nt, when the temp drops to around 75-78, would a smaller BTU a/c unit do? i like the low-profile kenmore but its only 6000btu's....p.s. we also have a ceiling fan. will that help reduce the btu's needed?
Answers:
You need 8000 bts and air flow is good but will not erase BTUs
it shod Dow the trick
That's a good size room. Two ways to approach this for a solution.
A small unit will give you savings upon purchase, but then it will work harder to maintain the comfort range and maybe never get there too. Bingo - HIGH Electric Bill.
Go with a 1 ton (12,000BTU), it will work quick and fast to your comfort zone and "LESS" effort to maintain for the long haul. Results: LOWER Electrical Bill & Comfort zone ABSOLUTE.
