Room Sizes:
A single air conditioner won’t be enough to cool your home, though this will depend on the size of your home. Even if you install an air conditioner in every room, you’ll need to be mindful of the rooms’ sizes.
Before shopping for a new air conditioner, measure your rooms’ height, length, and width and give this data to your air con installer. You can also use an air conditioning size chart or calculator to estimate. However, with so many factors influencing the right air conditioner size, consulting a professional is the most reliable method.
Home Insulation:
How well-insulated your rooms are will play a significant role in determining the size of your air conditioner. For instance, when a home is well insulated, it traps hot and cold air better, requiring only a low-capacity air conditioner to regulate temperatures.
Location of the Room:
If the room you’re going to install the air conditioner in faces north or west, chances are it can get sweltering during the summer. For rooms like this, you may need to install a high-capacity conditioner to keep the room cool.
Placement of Air Conditioner:
The placement of the air conditioner in any given room affects how much cooling capacity you need. This is also affected by what kind of air conditioner you are planning to install. However, the general idea is that you want the air conditioners placed in a relatively ‘central’ location to ensure a balanced airflow.
