A loosely constructed 1500 ft.sq. home with lots of single pane glass facing south, will require an a/c unit roughly three times the size of a tightly constructed home with double or triple pane windows with shades that may be closed. Square footage does not work. A heating and cooling load should be run by an experienced contractor with a copy of the calculations being given to the homeowner along with the "free estimate". Any contractor that does not use a compass or at least know from the terrain, which way south is, should be dismissed as inexperienced. Correctly sizing a/c is an art, with the right unit providing the proper amount of dehumidification and a/c resulting in occupant comfort. B Cool lc

How to calculate the appropriate size of an air conditioner for a house?

To calculate the appropriate size of an air conditioner for a house, you need to consider the square footage of the space you want to cool. Measure the length and width of each room, then use a formula or an online calculator to determine the required cooling capacity in BTUs (British Thermal Units). This will help you choose an air conditioner that is the right size for your home.
