| BTU Rating | Coverage Area | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 9,000 BTU | Up to 400 sq ft | Small bedrooms, offices |
| 12,000 BTU | Up to 550 sq ft | Master bedrooms |
| 18,000 BTU | Up to 750 sq ft | Living rooms |
| 24,000 BTU | Up to 1,000 sq ft | Open floor plans |
| 36,000 BTU | Up to 1,500 sq ft | Great rooms, shops |
General rule: 20 BTUs per square foot, but adjust for ceiling height ( 10-20% for high ceilings), insulation quality ( 25-30% for poor insulation), and window exposure ( 10-15% for south-facing windows).
Example: 500 sq ft room with 10-foot ceilings and south windows = 10,000 BTU base 2,000 BTU (high ceiling) 1,000 BTU (sun exposure) = 13,000 BTU total requirement.
