The need for AC is felt as soon as summer starts. There is extreme heat throughout India from April to September-October. In such a situation, if you also want to install a new AC in your house, then some things should be kept in mind. Many times people are not able to choose the right AC according to the size of their room. In large rooms, low capacity AC is installed and in small rooms, high capacity AC is installed. In such a situation, the problem of cooling persists even after installing AC.
What capacity AC should I install?
1 and 1.5 ton ACs are most in demand. The reason behind this is that ACs of this size are suitable for small and medium sized rooms. If you have a 1 ton AC, then what should be the size of your room? This question must be running in your mind too? We give you accurate information about it.
An AC with 1 ton capacity can remove 12,000 BTU i.e. British thermal unit heat per hour i.e. its cooling capacity is 12,000 BTU. During this period, this AC consumes 0.8 to 1.2 units of electricity. In such a situation, if you run the AC the whole day, then about 20 to 24 units of electricity will be consumed. However, it also depends on the features of the AC.
One ton AC is considered perfect for a room of 80 to 120 square feet. That is, if the size of your room is 10 x 12 or less then 1 ton AC will be sufficient. At the same time, if the size of the room is up to 10 x 14, 10 x 15 or 10 x 17, then you can install 1.5 ton AC. If the room is even bigger, then you can install two 1 ton ACs or one 2 ton AC.
Apart from this, if the room is on the top floor and it receives more sunlight then it will require a higher capacity AC. Even if the size of the upstairs room is 10 x 12, you may need a 1.5 ton AC. Due to sunlight, the house will become too hot and the heat in the room will increase. In such a situation, a low capacity AC will heat the room at the same speed with which it will cool the room, due to which the room will not get good cooling and will feel hot.
