Resp. Chits,
The cooling capacity of room air conditioners is measured in BTU's or British Thermal Units, per hour.
| Area to be Cooled (in square feet) |
Capacity Needed (in BTU's) |
| 100 to 150 |
5,000 |
| 150 to 250 |
6,000 |
| 250 to 300 |
7,000 |
| 300 to 350 |
8,000 |
| 350 to 400 |
9,000 |
| 400 to 450 |
10,000 |
| 450 to 550 |
12,000 |
| 550 to 700 |
14,000 |
You can use the table above for the right capacity.

Join date: Oct 2011 | Agreed with the figures in the table in post #1 but some factors have to be considered:- Orientation of space.
- Size of openings (windows) to outside and direction (North, West,...). If you have big openings or direct sun, try to go for the higher capacity.
- Recommended to have exhaust fan in kitchen or hood.
