How to choose the right size air conditioner for your home

You must consider size of the air conditioner before selecting the perfect air conditioner for your place. By size, we do not mean the physical size of the system. Size here means the cooling capacity of your air conditioning unit.

When an air conditioner is oversized relative to its surroundings, it can cause constant on/off sequences that result in either overheating or overcooling. When this happens, you’ll have hot spots throughout your home. This can leave some rooms cool, and others hot and humid. In contrast, air conditioners that are too small run for too long trying to reach your desired temperature.

First, when choosing the right size air conditioner for your home, the most vital information you need is the size of the space to cool . You need to calculate the size of the room to decide on the ideal air conditioner capacity.

Second, you need to understand how much cooling/heating is needed for the space. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, a measurement of how much energy an air conditioner consumes to eliminate heat from your place within an hour. Correct BTU calculation ensures that the air conditioner will provide efficient cooling without piling up on your electricity bill.

However, this calculation doesn’t stand true in every case because we didn’t take the ceiling height, number of windows and other such aspects into account. In case you get confused with calculations, seek help from a professional. They will analyze your place and will recommend you an appropriate air conditioner size.

Your guide to accurate installation

It is advisable to entrust a professional technician to install your air conditioner. Such an expert will set the ideal environment to ensure optimal air conditioner usage.

Before reaching out for help with installation, however, there are basic conditions you should make sure your chosen air conditioner type and its environment meet.

Air Conditioner FAQ

Q.

What is a suitable temperature setting for my air conditioner?

A.

When you turn on the air conditioner for the first time, set it to a low temperature and use a strong wind setting to quickly lower the temperature in the room. Once your room has cooled sufficiently, 25℃ is the optimal temperature to maintain a cool house and save energy.

Q.

What is the difference between an inverter air conditioner and a non-inverter air conditioner?

A.

Inverter air conditioners operate more efficiently than non-inverter air conditioners. Non-inverter air conditioners have compressors spinning at the same speed regardless of temperature, turning off when the desired temperature is reached and turning on again when the temperature rises. Inverter air conditioners operate by adjusting the compressor faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures, which means they save more energy than non-inverter air conditioners and enable faster cooling and quieter operation.

Q.

What is a smart air conditioner?

A.

A smart air conditioner is an air conditioner that can be controlled and monitored through an application using a smartphone or smart speaker with an internet connection. You can control and monitor the air conditioner remotely without being restricted by time or place.
The various useful smart functions of LG DUALCOOL are available through the LG ThinQ smart app. Conveniently turn the LG air conditioner on and off with your smartphone or control the temperature setting and mode remotely without having to be in the same room! Furthermore, energy monitoring allows you to view and manage your energy usage, allowing you to make smarter energy choices. (*This function may not be available in some countries).

Q.

How can I clean and manage the air conditioner?

A.

For optimal performance, the filter needs to be cleaned every two weeks. Wash the outer surface of the pre-filter with water or use a neutral detergent for an occasional deeper clean.
