“Can I use this 6,000 BTU unit in my 145 Sq. Ft. 2nd fl. Bedroom? Or is it too big (in BTU's)? GE - 250 Sq. Ft. 6,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner - White”

Hey there, and thanks for reaching out to us about this window air conditioner! Correct sizing is very important when choosing an air conditioner, so we appreciate you asking. This 6,000 BTU unit is ideal for cooling spaces from 150 sq. ft. to 250 sq. ft. While your room is only slightly smaller, when there are more BTUs than the room needs, cooling performance can be negatively impacted. We do have a model, AHP05LZ, which has 5,050 BTUs of cooling power and is meant for rooms from 100 to 150 sq. ft., if that may be a better fit for you. We hope this information is helpful, and are happy to help with any other concerns as well. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can never go wrong with a higher btu .better to over. estimate it than under. You can always use the thermostat . Especially these hot summer days. A while ago I bought a 5000 btu thinking it's enough only to replace it with an 8000 btu then it did the trick everyone was happy...if the price difference is not a lot then go with it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not it’s not to big it will do a better job at keeping your area cool! I do understand how some units’ btu could be to much and would freeze you out but this unit is not that much larger .. mine is in a master b/room and works great.. I will also add that the size (dimensions) is very compact for its btu rating , I do recommend to any one needing to stay cool this summer . As for the rest of the “uncools”…keep trying
