Before deciding which through-the-wall air conditioner brand you like best, the first step in selecting an air conditioner is figuring out how much power you need to cool your space.
Through-the-wall air conditioners use British Thermal Units (BTUs) to measure their cooling capacity. The higher the number of BTUs, the larger space it can cool. Installing too small of a unit will leave you struggling to cool the room and wasting energy. Too powerful and you'll cool the room too quickly without removing excess humidity.
That's why we've put together the below through-the-wall AC sizing chart. Check it out to find the perfect BTUs for cooling your specific space, as well as for some other handy tips to consider.
In Summary
The proper through-the-wall air conditioner (TTW) sizing guide takes into consideration several factors, including room size, ceiling height, amount of sunlight and number of occupants to determine the correct number of BTUs required.
