How to Choose the Right Split Air Conditioner for Your Space
✅ The Ideal BTU for Every Room Size
To achieve efficient cooling, you need to choose the right AC capacity (BTU) based on your room's square meter size and ceiling height.
| 12,000 BTU (1 Ton) | 12 - 18 m² | Small bedroom or office |
| 18,000 BTU (1.5 Ton) | 18 - 25 m² | Large bedroom or small living room |
| 24,000 BTU (2 Ton) | 25 - 35 m² | Living rooms or majlis |
| 30,000+ BTU | 35 - 50 m² | Open spaces or large areas |
Note: For rooms with high ceilings or direct sun exposure, increase capacity by 10–20%.
⚡️ Factors That Affect AC Performance
🔹 Factors That Improve Efficiency:
-
Proper insulation in walls and ceilings
-
Thick curtains to block sunlight
-
Energy-efficient lighting
-
Installing the AC in a central and open wall area
🔸 Factors That Reduce Cooling Efficiency:
-
Large windows with no shades or insulation
-
High number of people in the room

Multiple heat-generating appliances (PCs, ovens)
-
Dirty filters and poor maintenance
🛠 Choosing the Right Split AC Based on Usage
🏠 For Homes:
-
Go for inverter ACs if used frequently (saves energy)
-
Ensure local warranty and after-sales service
