“Would this unit work for a 220 square foot room in an old leaky house? Or would it be better to bump up to a 7000 BTU unit or beyond?”

Hello, Lilly. Thank you for your question regarding the LG portable AC unit, model LP0621WS, and its suitability for your room. The LP0621WS is a 6,000 BTU portable air conditioner. Generally, a 6,000 BTU unit is recommended for rooms up to approximately 250 square feet. However, in an old, leaky house where insulation and air sealing may be poor, you might consider a slightly higher capacity to ensure effective cooling. For a 220 square foot room in an older house, you could potentially bump up to a 7,000 BTU unit for more efficient cooling, especially if the room gets a lot of direct sunlight or if it's particularly humid. This would provide a bit more cooling power to compensate for any air leaks or poor insulation. If you need further advice on choosing the right capacity for your specific conditions, please send us a private message on our social media platform via @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to assist you in selecting the best option for your needs. We appreciate your patience and look forward to helping you achieve comfortable temperatures in your space. ^Sam
