How to Choose the Best Air Conditioner for Your Room Size

Choosing the right air conditioner starts with matching the unit’s capacity to the size of your room. 

  • Small bedrooms between 10 and 18 square metres typically need a compact air conditioner in the 1.5 kW to 2.6 kW range.
  • Medium-sized bedrooms or smaller living areas measuring 18 to 28 square metres are better suited to units between 2.5 kW and 3.5 kW.
  • For medium living rooms around 28 to 40 square metres, you’ll want a slightly more powerful option—usually 4 kW to 5.2 kW.
  • Larger living rooms or open-plan spaces of 40 to 60 square metres or more require stronger systems ranging from 6 kW to 9 kW.
  • If you’re looking to heat or cool multiple rooms or your entire home, a multi-split system is generally the best solution, as it allows you to connect several indoor units to one outdoor unit for efficient whole-home comfort.
