Solution
Air conditioner sizes are rated by BTUs, and the size of the room you wish to cool determines how many BTUs you need.
Measure the width and length of the room and multiply those numbers together to determine the square footage.
The higher the BTU, the more square footage the air conditioner will cool. Use this helpful guide below to decide which BTU is right for your area:
