How to Choose the Right AC Size for Rental Purposes?

Picking the wrong AC size wastes money and leaves you sweating. Here’s how to get it right when renting an AC in Delhi-NCR.

Why Size Matters

Too small? Your AC runs non-stop and still can’t cool the room. Too big? It cools too fast then shuts off, making the room humid and uncomfortable.

“Many people think bigger ACs are always better,” says Rahul Sharma from Rentifyr Technologies, who offers AC on rent in Delhi. “This mistake leads to high bills and less comfort.”

Quick Size Guide

1. Measure Your Room

• Length × Width = Square feet
• Odd-shaped room? Break it into sections and add them up

2. Match Size to Space

• 150-250 sq ft: 1 ton
• 250-350 sq ft: 1.5 ton
• 350-450 sq ft: 1.5-2 ton
• 450-550 sq ft: 2 ton
• 550-700 sq ft: 2.5 ton
• 700-1,000 sq ft: 3 ton

3. Adjust for These Factors

• Delhi Heat: Add 10% capacity for summer months
• High Ceilings: Add 10% per foot over 8 feet
• Crowded Rooms: Add 600 BTU per extra person
• Sunny Rooms: Add 10%
• Shaded Rooms: Reduce by 10%
• Poor Insulation: Add 15%

Best Sizes by Room Type

Rentifyr Technologies, who provides AC on rent in Gurgaon, recommends:

• Bedrooms/Small Offices: 1 ton
• Living Rooms: 1.5-2 ton
• Event Spaces: 2-3 ton or multiple units

Special Event Tips

“Events need extra cooling power,” says Vikram from Rentifyr Technologies, which offers AC on rent in Ghaziabad. “People, lights, and equipment all create heat.”

For tent events:

• Add 40% more cooling power
• Use industrial portable units
• Place units to create even cooling

Save on Power Bills

• Pick 3-5 star rated ACs
• Inverter ACs use up to 50% less power
• “Energy-efficient models cost more to rent but save money on long-term rentals,” notes Rentifyr’s team

AC Types and Setup

• Window ACs: Need window space, easy setup
• Split ACs: Need pro installation
• Portable ACs: Need vent, minimal setup
• Tower ACs: No setup, less cooling power

Smart Rental Choices

Before you rent:

1. Consider how long you’ll need it
2. Check your budget for rental and power costs
3. Know your space limits
4. Think about noise
5. Ask about service support
