Aircon Size Calculator
Our easy-to-use online BTU load calculator will give you an indication of the aircon size required for your specific needs.
Simply enter the parameters of the room you want the aircon to be installed in. The estimated size/capacity will be calculated in BTUs[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1631012105963{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1631013979915{background-color: rgba(231,238,242,0.5) !important;*background-color: rgb(231,238,242) !important;}”][vc_column_text]

In South Africa, you usually need about 600 BTUs per square meter. The square meterage of your room can be calculated by multiplying the width of the room by the length of the room that needs to be cooled or heated.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Are there other heat sources I need to take into account?” tab_id=”1631010007350-bfc858d1-daa9″][vc_column_text]When considering a new air conditioner for your home or office, you need to make sure you buy the correct size for your needs. Our calculator takes the following factors into account that could affect the BTU requirements:
- The height of the room ceiling
- How many people usually use the room
- How much sunlight the room is exposed to
- Appliances and electronics that generate heat (this includes screens, computers etc.)
[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How is an inverter aircon different from a non-inverter aircon?” tab_id=”1631010045277-d73bd28f-bdcd”][vc_column_text]Non-inverter air conditioners run at full speed until the room reaches the desired temperature level. When the room is at the required temperature, the unit will stop. When the room temperature heats up again, the compressor motor will run at full speed again. The repetition of turning on and off uses more energy and creates unwanted noise.
Inverter air conditioners on the other hand regulate the speed of the compressor motor. When the room reaches its optimal temperature, an inverter aircon will lower its motor speed and keep the room at this temperature. This saves a lot of unnecessary energy use.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
