A 12,000 BTU air conditioner can effectively cool a room that is approximately 400 to 600 square feet, depending on factors such as insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure.
Yes, a 12,000 BTU air conditioner is more than sufficient for a 400 square foot area. It should provide efficient and effective cooling for this size of space.
The cost to run a 12,000 BTU air conditioner 24/7 depends on several factors, including the efficiency of the unit (measured in EER or SEER), local electricity rates, and whether the unit runs continuously or cycles on and off.
On average, a 12,000 BTU unit consumes about 1.2 kWh per hour. If your electricity rate is $0.13 per kWh, running the unit continuously for 24 hours would cost approximately $3.74 per day ($0.13/kWh * 1.2 kWh/hour * 24 hours).
