Well first off I could tellyou that square footage isn't going to help you, try cubic feet.

volume of the room..not an A/C man but thats what they did when they did our house.
Volume of the room multiplied by some heat loss constant if i remember correctly.

I use 12000BTU units to cool rooms up to 14x14... anything larger wud require a 18000BTU unit... also you have to take into consideration the heat load of each room... Weather u wud be using the units for night or day cooling... and so on.... i wud say in your case... if there is a considerable amt of heat load.. a 24000 btu for the 23x19 room and a 18000 btu for the 16x17...

You coulda just ask that I send the technitions to do an estimate yuhno....



IIRC your ceilings are a bit high (average 10ft?) When I come Thursday I give you average

when buying dont watch which brand better....ask about compressor warranty.....some "brands" carry 1 yr on parts and labour - including the compressor.- essentially youre screwed right here

other ppl give 5 yrs warranty on compressor 1 yr on other parts and labour

correct .......

cause is there are only about three a/c companies in the world

all the rest are generic ...and it comes down to service and warranty

dont waste your time with fly by night a/c companies .. be sure the company u buy from will still be there in 5 years time

Exactly........I would recommend buying from someone who is in the biz and does the work themselves...

Reason is if anything were to happen (something broke down) it would be very easy to get the person to fix it rather than going to a "big" company and putting your name on a wait list, this can take weeks to get your ac fix.........

seems as the man doh trust yuh

when i bought my AC unit for my room...i shopped around..lots of men selling 12000BTU units for like $2500 installed...!!! i was like WTF so cheap....when i ask about parts and warranty....1 yr on compressor 90 days on leaks or something so....etc.....

went with abel - they came measured my room -TWICE - to be sure ( i wanted a 12000 but they guy said my room size is too small for that - i would have frozen my nuts off )

the ac had all the features i wanted - swinging vents easy to clean filter - 5 yrs warranty on compressor 1 yr on other parts and labour....i took a 9000BTU unit.....works perfectly....set it to 25 deg - keeps my room cool.....

also to note when youre buying the A/c unit it comes with a standard length of copper - if it's not long enough you will need copper piping - which is expensive.....then ducting....etc etc

all in all i think i paid like $4500 for my unit- fully installed

[MonsterPower]

i am swinging towards the katashi brand from abel as i have a shareholder discount with them
the carrier brand my wife had 3 units at her parents home and they had a whole host of problems with them .. all range from condenser to motor to thermostat..

as well as they are a bit noisy ....

my sis has coldlwave(sp) in her room and it is much much quieter than my old room which is a peakes unit ....

an kurpal ... when i blasted ask yuh de night ... yuh shake yuh head an mumble sumtin up till now i doh knwo what u say ... whats the service options i get with coldwave?

[speedaholic]

the coldwave unit are sold by servair in marabella and they offer the 12000 btu's installed for around $3500 to $4000... dunno was the latest price... and ussual come with the copper pipe and brackets.. and a lenght of 3x3 trunking... 1 year on parts 3 years on the compressor...

[- Rovin's car audio -]

check abc distributors , their ad on certain days is in d daily papers , prices good but varies with which warranty period u want to pay for

recently bought 2 18,000 btu continental electric split units from them to be installed saturday or sunday & i can give u a review then ...

What he said...IMO the 24000btu for the bigger room is just cutting it close,would work if it's in the basement with no windows. I would go 36000btu. (my opinion)

12000 =1ton
18000= 1.5ton
24000 = 2 ton
36000 = 3 ton
and so on


200sq ft= 12000btu unit will work
300sq ft = 18000btu
400sq ft = 24000btu
500 sq st = 36000btu
