One of the most commonly used terms is “ton” when you go out to buy ACs.

The BTU for air conditioners ranges from 5,000 to 24,000.

The Meteorological Department of India (IMD) has forecast hot weather conditions from March to May and has asked people to be prepared for heat waves in the coming months. At this crucial time, investing in a quality air conditioner is a good decision. When buying air conditioners, there are several conditions that the customer should be well aware of in order to make a good choice.

One of the most commonly used terms is “ton” when you go out to buy ACs. There is a widespread belief that the ton means the weight of the AC. Contrary to popular belief, tons or tonnage is the unit used to measure refrigeration. capacity of the air conditioner based on the size and other characteristics of the room. Keep reading this space for more key facts about the word ton, believed to have been coined by engineer Willis Haviland Carrier.

Let’s first understand how cooling capacity is calculated to determine the ton of an AC. The answer to this question is British thermal units per hour, commonly referred to as BTU/hr. The BTU for air conditioners ranges from 5,000 to 24,000 BTUs. 12,000 BTUs is considered 1 ton. 1 ton AC is generally suitable for a room of 50-150 square meters.

Another belief associated with ACs is that the higher the BTUs, the more powerful the AC. This can be one of the parameters for acquiring the AC, but it cannot be the only benchmark. If people only look at the BTU, AC may not turn out to be energy or cost efficient. When buying a new air conditioner, ACs with Energy Star certification should be purchased so that they can save energy.

Aside from keeping the BTU in mind, other aspects to remember when buying the AC are the room size, light and occupancy rate. Aside from these factors, climate also plays an important role in determining what kind of AC people should invest in.
