Hello, Dee. What is the BTU rating for the "ax unit" you used to have? Regrettably, we are not familiar with what an "ax unit" is and will need some clarification, but more importantly, we will also need to know the BTU rating for what you consider a "small window AC unit" and knowing what it is for the unit you used to have will help. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. It’s a way to measure how much heat an air conditioner can remove in one hour. The higher the BTU, the more powerful the cooling. But bigger or smaller isn’t always better, as choosing the wrong BTU can lead to higher bills, poor cooling or a humid home. Every AC has a BTU rating, which measures its cooling power. If the BTU is too low, the AC will struggle to cool the room, run constantly and increase utility bills. In contrast, if the BTU is too high, the AC will cool the room too fast without adequately removing humidity. This can make your home feel damp and uncomfortable. It also leads to short cycling, where the AC turns on and off too often, wasting energy and wearing out the system. Choosing a unit with the correct BTU is more than just better cooling. It’s about energy efficiency and cost savings. A properly sized AC removes heat better without using too much power, meaning you’ll likely get better service at a lower cost than a wrong unit. To determine the appropriate BTU you need for the room you intend to cool, start by determining the square footage of the room you want to cool. A standard guideline is to allocate 20 to 25 BTUs per square foot of living space. This range accounts for standard room conditions and provides a baseline for cooling needs. A typicak BTU calculation uses the Formula: Room Area (sq. ft.) × 20 to 25 = Required BTUs...^Ivan.
