Total sq. ftg. in this 2 bedroom apt. is 585 (L x W) of unit. From the 12' x 15' living room area you can see the open kitchen and in the kitchen is a zig zag shaped 2 x 4 partion wall then a bathroom on the other side of that partion wall. Those 3 rooms seem to be the easiest for a single window a/c unit that would be located in the front of the living room facing all of those 3 rooms to cool fairly easily and pretty quickly. However, the 2 bedrooms are located where the cooled air will not be so easy to get to them not to mention the walls around those rooms and the only air access would be via the bedroom doors. The living room and the 2 bedrooms each have a ceiling fan and they move air big time. Could one big a/c unit cool everthing if installed in living room? I have read sizing BTU's to sq. ftg. charts they seem pretty accurate as all i have read are the same,but there are also considerations some suggest while figuring a/c size like:
*add 4,000 btu's if there is a kitchen to the initial applicable size.
* another says add 4,000 btu's to every room attached to the kitchen.
*another says add 1,500 btu's for every window that gets considerable sunlight.
* and some charts have even said it Is possible to cool multiple rooms with one a/c located carefully and taking into account all needed to be cooled....Of course no details on that!....(laughing slightly)
Many thanks to all !
