what size of central air conditioner do i need for a 950 sq ft house
The cost of installing a central air conditioner depends on the unit as well as the size of your house. It can cost you anywhere from $1,500 to $1,5000.

Yes will work on that size house.
An air conditioner, depending on the size of the unit and how much installation is needed, can range anywhere from $100.00 up to $2,000.00. A window air conditioner will probably cost less than having an electrician come into a person's house and install a central air conditioning unit for the whole 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.
The amount of energy an air conditioner uses depends on its size, efficiency, and how long it runs. On average, a central air conditioner uses about 3,000 to 5,000 watts of electricity per hour.
The average wattage for a window air conditioner is around 500-1,500 watts, while a central air conditioner can range from 3,000 to 5,000 watts. The specific wattage will depend on the size and efficiency of the unit.
That sounds reasonable to me. I have in my home, a very large (22,000 BTU) through-the-wall air conditioner, designed to cool three large rooms. It uses 3.5 lbs of freon. A whole-house unit I can easily see using as much as 9 lbs.
The size of a central air conditioner is a measure of its' cooling capacity. It is given in tons of air conditioning. A ton of air conditioning is equal to the abilty of the unit to remove 12000 btu of heat per hour.
