A 1-ton cassette AC unit can typically cover an area between 100 and 130 square feet, but similar to 2-ton units, several factors can influence the actual coverage area. Here’s a breakdown:
- Estimated Coverage: 100-130 square feet is a common estimate; however, it’s not a guaranteed value.
- Factors Affecting Coverage:
- Climate: In hotter climates, a 1-ton AC might be suitable for an even smaller area to ensure proper cooling.
- Ceiling Height: High ceilings require more conditioned air to maintain comfort. So, a 1-ton AC might cool a smaller area with a high ceiling compared to a standard ceiling height.
- Insulation: Good insulation helps retain cool air, allowing a 1-ton AC to cool a larger area effectively.
- Sun exposure: Rooms with significant direct sunlight gain more heat. So, a 1-ton AC might be less effective in such spaces.
- Number of occupants: More people generate more heat, requiring a larger capacity AC unit.
Recommendation for Accurate Sizing:
For a precise determination of the appropriate AC size for your space, consulting an HVAC professional is highly recommended They can consider all the factors mentioned earlier and perform a Manual J calculation. This calculation determines the exact cooling load (heat gain) of your specific space. This ensures you select a 1-ton AC (or a different size if needed) that efficiently cools your entire area without being underpowered or oversized.
