How To Use The Chart
Simply measure the width and height of your room in feet, then multiply the two together. For example: The length of the room is 25 feet and the width is 20 feet. Square Footage= 25ft. X 20 ft.= 500 square ft. Then simply match it to the chart on the left to find the type of unit that is right for you! If you have an irregular shaped room simply measure the widths and lengths of all the irregular areas and multiply them. Then take the square footage of each of these areas and add them together. Rooms with higher ceilings make require more BTU -you can call us if you have any questions. If you need help deciding please call (866) 259-8500 TOLL FREE

1. What is a PTAC?
A PTAC is a packaged terminal air conditioner that cools and heats. A PTAC provides warm air through an electric resistance heater (heat strip). A PTHP is a packaged terminal heat pump. A PTHP uses its compressor year round to heat or cool. In warm weather, it efficiently captures heat from inside your home and pumps it outside for cooling. In cool weather, it captures heat from outdoor air and pumps it into your home, adding heat from electric heat strips as necessary to efficiently provide heat. When the temperature is 38 degrees Fahrenheit or lower the unit switches to heat strip to provide heat.

2. Which unit saves me more money on my electric bill?
Heat pump models offer substantial savings over models with conventional electric resistance heaters.

3. Can I replace my existing unit with a different brand?
