要找什么
房间空调器被的BTU的数目，或英热单位，热，他们可以每小时除去额定。相反，你可能会认为，它没有任何意义跑出去买最强大的单位，你可以找到。你可以卷起花费远远超过你需要。升级到你能承受的最高的效率，但是，是一个很好的投资。在非常炎热的气候，你需要10的效率评级，但9将在温和气候条件下做的。
多少英热单位？
To calculate the number of BTUs you need, measure the room you’re cooling and multiply by 35. A room that is 12 x 12, or 144 square feet, for instance, needs a unit with a capacity of around 5,000 BTUs to keep it cool. If you’ve got a shady window to install the unit, you can lower that number by 10 percent. For a sunny window, add 10 percent. If it’s in the kitchen, add 4,000 BTUs. And if it’s a room used by more than two people during cooling hours, add 600 BTUs per person.
在堵漏您的空调
因为它不与任何其他各大家电共用大部分房间空气调节器可以插入标准的110V 15或20安培的电路长。较大的7.5安培单位需要自己的专用电路。
封你的窗口
请一定要衡量你在你购买之前安装窗口。While it should come with expandable filler panels, you’ll need weather stripping and tape to seal the unit to the window and keep heat from leaking in. Have some spare lumber and screws handy in case you need to build up the window frame or sill to accommodate the unit.
获得帮助与安装
最重要的是有你的朋友有帮助。即使是很小的空调是重于他们看，你不想要的单元掉出窗口。
