WHAT IS BTU?
BTU is the most important thing to look out for when selecting an Air Conditioner. The right value is highly essential to make sure that the Air Conditioner is working at peak efficiency.
| • | The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the international measurement of energy. |
| • | A BTU measures the amount of heat an AC unit can remove from the room. |
| • | As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the AC. Room ACs are generally 5,000 to 24,000 BTU. |
| • | Calculate the floor space by measuring the length and width of the room. As summing normal floor height of 10ft (3m). |
| • | If the installed AC is too small for your room, it might take very long to cool your room or none at all. |
| • | While an oversized air conditioner might cause sweating and frequent compressor cut off. |

How to bring the best out of inverter system:
| • | Long usage time (4 hours). Inverter system will save but if you are not planning to use the system very long every day, a non-inverter system will do. |
| • | Enclosed space. In order for inverter system to be stabilize, an enclosed space is a must. |
| • | Comfort level. An inverter system could provide better temperature control. Thus, if you are very sensitive to temperature changes or often wake up in the middle of night due to too cold. You could get an inverter system for your bedroom. |
