How to choose air conditioning with the right capacity?

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit , or British Thermal Unit . It determines the cooling power of your air conditioner. To better understand how the air conditioning capacity is calculated , it is necessary to know that 1 BTU is the amount of cold required to reduce the temperature of half a liter of water by 0.56 ºC.

To scale the measure for physical spaces, in m², a calculation is made taking into account the density and weight of the water. In practice this will affect the size of the space where your air conditioner will be installed. The more BTUs it has, the greater the environment that the device will cool down.

But there are also other factors that you should take into account when purchasing, as the BTU of the air conditioner varies depending on whether the c receives sun in the afternoon or throughout the day. For you to have no complications when choosing the ideal air conditioning BTU, check out our indications:

Smaller rooms, usually bedrooms, will often get a smaller air conditioner like the Springer Midea QCI078BB , for example. But of course the air conditioning BTU will depend on other factors, as you saw in the table above.

Pay attention to the exposure of this room to the sun and also remember that even the amount of people and electronic devices present in large quantities in the environment can interfere with the air conditioning flow.

With the right amount of BTU, the air conditioner consumes less energy
Knowing how to calculate the amount of BTUs indicated for the environment where you intend to install the air conditioning is important to make sure it will be able to cool the place. But it is also not recommended to choose a model with more power than necessary.

This is because using a device with very high power can increase electricity consumption. And you probably don't want to do that, right? The table above helps you find the ideal air conditioner for each room you want to cool off. Also, check out other tips to consume less energy when using the air conditioner:

• Opt for an Inverse model , which uses up to 70% less energy than conventional appliances;
• Look for an air conditioner that has the Procel A seal for energy efficiency;
• Use Sleep Mode at night. It guarantees thermal comfort without consuming too much light;
• Keep doors and windows tightly closed to prevent cold air from "outing" the room;
• Remember to clean the filter frequently to avoid overloading the device.

With all these tips, you can now conveniently choose your new air conditioner, whether it is a window model , split type or with an inverter motor , since here we have many models for you to check and compare prices!
