1.5 ton ac coverage area

While a 1.5 ton AC is generally recommended for medium-sized rooms, the exact coverage area can vary depending on several factors.

BTU Rating: A 1.5 ton AC has a cooling capacity of around 18,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) per hour. This BTU rating determines the amount of heat the AC can remove from a space.
Room Size: As a rule of thumb, a 1.5 ton AC can effectively cool rooms between 130 and 170 square feet. However, this is just an estimate and doesn’t consider other factors.

- Ceiling Height: Higher ceilings increase the volume of air that needs cooling. In a room with an 8-foot ceiling, a 1.5 ton AC might cool a larger area compared to a room with a 10-foot ceiling.
- Insulation: Good insulation minimizes heat gain or loss, allowing the AC to maintain a cool temperature more efficiently. A well-insulated space might allow the AC to cool a slightly larger area.
- Climate: Hotter climates put more strain on the AC. In very hot regions, a 1.5 ton AC might struggle to cool a larger room effectively.
- Sun Exposure: Rooms with south-facing windows receive more direct sunlight, increasing heat gain. A 1.5 ton AC might be less effective in such rooms.
- Number of Occupants: More people generate more heat, requiring the AC to work harder. A room with many occupants might require a larger AC unit.

Considering these factors, the actual coverage area of a 1.5 ton AC can range from 130 square feet to around 250 square feet.

Inverter ACs: Inverter ACs adjust their cooling capacity based on the room temperature. This can improve efficiency and potentially allow them to cool a slightly larger area compared to traditional ACs.
HVAC Professional Consultation: For the most accurate recommendation, consult an HVAC professional. They can assess your specific space, including factors like insulation, sun exposure, and ductwork, to determine the optimal AC size for your needs.
