Question

the thumb rule for selecting window AC capacity is

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Here's your answer,

The thumb rule for selecting a window AC capacity is based on "Tonnage".

More the tons(size), more the capacity of cooling.

Air conditioning tonnage has nothing to do with weight. A ton, as used in the HVAC field, is a term that describes how much heat the AC unit can remove from a home in one hour. The measurement for heat is the British thermal unit (BTU). One ton of air conditioning can remove 12,000 BTUs of air per hour. A four ton unit can move 48, 000 BTUs and so on. Therefore, the more tonnage an AC unit is rated at, the more air it can cool.

Most homes, depending on ceiling heights, windows, and airflow will need a ton of air conditioning for every 400 to 1,000 square feet. Higher air conditioning tonnage can mean higher energy costs because the more tonnage an air conditioner is rated for the more work it is doing. When buying a new air conditioning installation, get one that is EnergyStar certified. They are the most efficient units available. And AC Warehouse has them.

Hope it helps!!!!
