How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot. Calculating Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs. Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly. We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on: Room Dimensions A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows The number of people it will serve Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances An explanation of what's above the intended room Your insulation provisions Cooling Capacity by Room Size Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. Locate the room size in the chart

Quick Installation
Took only 20 Minutes to put in. Much easier than a regular A/C unit for large Windows that slide side to side. My window was a bit larger than allowable so I had to add plexiglass to fill the rest of the window. Works great and love the remote.

Slider/casement window a/c
I am very pleased with my new a/c -- I was able to fit it right into my new Milguard window without removing the pane of glass. But, the measurements on the product were ambiguous because the actual opening needed was buried somewhere in the description. Also, the case on the front of the a/c is cracked and we didn't notice it until after we had installed it. On the whole I am quite pleased.
Looking forward to working in my office this summer in the cool air.

Solid unit, not extremely well designed
This is a large AC unit. We had it installed by a pro and I'm glad we did as it needed a fair bit of work. There are no side curtain pieces, so you have to have a horizontally sliding window or you have to build a box to fit into your casement window that will perfectly fit the unit.
Once installed, we've found that it has a some nice features; the energy saver feature is particularly helpful. The fan turns off when the compressor does, but then the fan cycles on for 2 minutes every 10 minutes to keep the air from stagnating in the room. The fan turns back on when the compressor kicks in based on the thermostat.
It doesn't do a very good job of dehumidifying and so would probably do better in a dryer climate than the San Francisco Bay Area, which is where we are.
