A British Thermal Unit (BTUs) number indicates how large of a room an air conditioner can cool, so the larger the number, the greater the cooling capacity.<\/p><p>For example:<\/p><p>a 5,000 BTU unit can cool up to 150 square feet of space<br \/>9,000 BTU: 400 sq. ft.<br \/>10,000 BTU: 450 sq. ft.<br \/>14,000 BTU: 700 sq. ft.<\/p><p>Window air conditioners with 14 thousand BTUs are more powerful than AC units with 5 000 BTUs.<\/p><p>As a general rule, bigger isn&#8217;t always better.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s crucial to get the right size window air conditioner for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/window-air-conditioning-tricks-1824737\">cooling your space<\/a>.<\/p><p>If your window air conditioning unit is not the right size for your house, you run the risk that it won&#8217;t be able to cool one or the entire area effectively.<\/p><p>This same theory applies when looking at wall AC units, which resemble window ACs, but you install them on walls instead of windows.<\/p><p>If you need to keep clear access to your window but don&#8217;t want to install an AC unit inside your house, a through-the-wall AC may be a better option.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element

Insulate! Insulation is by far the essential factor for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/reducing-electricity-use-and-costs\">reducing energy bills<\/a>. The more you have, the less you will spend on bills.<\/p><p class=\"\">2. Increase the temperature. Every degree of increase in temperature will save on cooling and heat\u00ading costs. If you can, try to run around with warmer temperatures.<\/p><p class=\"\">3. Let it flow. Don&#8217;t have anything in front of, behind, or next to the air conditioner. Keeps the curtains open, and even if they&#8217;re not modern art pieces, don&#8217;t try to cover them up with furniture!<\/p><p class=\"\">4. Change your filters. Once every month is enough.<\/p><p class=\"\">5. Keep it on the DL. Cooling down an air conditioner uses the most energy when reducing the temperature, not keeping it constant. So it&#8217;s better to leave it on with a higher temperature setting than to turn it off completely when you&#8217;re going out for a short time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b2dfcd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4b2dfcd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a31bdf1\" data-id=\"a31bdf1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6713c71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6713c71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can You EER The Savings?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d382eb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d382eb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df0869c\" data-id=\"df0869c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcf176b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dcf176b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"\">Efficiency is one of the things to consider when looking for an air conditioner that won&#8217;t cost you a fortune.
