How many BTUs need for 825 sq. ft. apartment on the first floor?

Question

By the way, is one window air conditioner adequate?

What make/model of air conditioner w/remote control is recommended?

Answer 1

825 sq. ft. apartment need 60,000 BTU's for cooling
One window A/C unit is not adequate
Carrier A/C Window or split units are efficient ( type or model ) up to you
( 12,000 BTU's are called one TON refrigeration ) =3,024 kilo calories which is adequate to cool area 130 sq. ft. @ outdoor temperature 113 deg F

Answer 2

Average 5,000 BTU room air conditioner cools around 300 sq. ft. A bedroom 10ft. x 12ft. I assume your apartment has doors to the bedroom and probably the living room/dining room and kitchen are pretty open, you would need about a 15,000 to cool that. I think you would be better off with 2 window units, if you want to be cool. One large one in the living room would have to work to hard to cool off your whole 825sq.ft. We bought a couple cheap ones at Lowes', the bedroom had a remote, the living room didn't. They were both Frigidaire models.

Answer 3

your going to want around 16000 BTU to cool the whole 825 square feet but you should get smaller ones like 6000 BTU to cool individual rooms
