So how do you know which air-conditioner is suitable for your environment?

 

Often than not, choosing the right size of air conditioner gives a lot of clients unnecessary headaches,the downside of purchasing your air conditioner at a retail store is that the typical appliance store sells amongst other things airconditioners,and CD players, television sets, refrigerators, etc. Their sales persons cannot be expected to be Guru’s in all of these appliances. A customer could end up with an unsuitable unit, and understandably be frus trated, the appliance store’s sales person cannot always custom specify the best unit for a given site, so there is the prospect of having a unit that may have too large a BTU rating, (which wastes your money), or one too low (which results in inadequate cooling).The story at Makaselaair is different.Our expert sales personnel know air-conditioners, our only business, inside and out.

For a room of Approximately Aircon size required
15 to 18 m2 9 000 btu
 20 to 25 m2 12 000 btu
 30 to 35 m2 18 000 btu
 40 to 45 m2  24 000 btu
 55 to 65 m2  30 000 btu

So how do we Size your Air-Conditioner?

 

Cooling capacity is measure in British Thermal units(BTU), there are many factors that influence the Btu’s need to cool/heat a given area, Makaselaair will dispatch a qualified Technician/Salesperson to assist you choose the air conditioner suitable for your environment. As a rough guideline the following table can be utilized to work out the BTUs required for the sizes mentioned below, as stated this is not cast in stone and should only be used as a guideline.

Some of the factors that can influence the BTU level are as follows:

  1. The floor area of the room
    -The amount of cooling required depends on the area of the room. To calculate the area in square metres, Area of Room= Length(Metres) x Width( Metres) x 337
  2. The size and position of windows, and whether they have blinds or shades.
    We take the window and their size into consideration:
    – South Window BTU = South Facing window Length (m) x Width (m) x 870
    – North Window BTU = North Facing windows Length (m) x Width (m) x 165
    – If there are no blinds on the windows multiply the result(s) by 1.5.
    – Obviously if you are in the Southern Hemisphere you would swap the conversion factors as the heat on north facing windows is then greatest.
    – Add together all the BTUs for the windows
    – Windows BTU = South Window(s) BTU + North Window(s) BTU
  3. The number of room occupants (if any)
    – For every person in the room we add +-600 Btu depending on their activity.
  4. The heat generated by lighting
    – Lighting in a room can have a considerably influence on the heat generated, the formula used is the total wattage of the lighting and multiply by 4.25.

So in conclusion Makaselaair Personnel will take all this factors into consideration and work out a quotation that is tailored to your needs.
