A room air conditioner is installed in a window or wall and will only cool the room it is in. When shopping for a central air conditioner it pays to consider both capacity and energy efficiency.

The cooling capability of a central air conditioner is measure in British Thermal Units, otherwise known as BTU. You will not get enough cooling with a unit with too few BTU while one with too many BTU will waste expensive energy.

Talk about the right size of unit for your particular needs with the company you hire to install your unit.
