When to "Size Up"

High Ceilings (10ft+)

If your ceilings are 10 feet or higher, you are cooling a larger volume of air. We recommend increasing your BTU choice by 20%.

Poor Insulation

For older homes or buildings with single-pane windows, opt for the next size up to ensure the unit can maintain the set temperature.

Kitchen Environments

Appliances generate significant heat. If the unit is for a kitchen, add 4,000 BTUs to your square footage calculation.

Heavy Sun Exposure

Rooms with large south-facing windows or "sunrooms" act like greenhouses. Increase your BTU capacity by 10-15%

Occupancy

If the area regularly hosts more than two people (like a conference room or classroom), add 600 BTUs per additional person..
