Frequently Asked Questions About 17,000 BTU condenser

Most Frequently Asked Questions

A 17,000 BTU air conditioner can typically cool an area of approximately 700 to 1,000 square feet, depending on factors such as insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure.

The number of amps a 17,000 BTU air conditioner uses depends on the voltage and efficiency of the unit. On average, a 17,000 BTU air conditioner running on a 240-volt circuit might draw around 7 to 8 amps. If it's running on a 120-volt circuit, it could draw around 14 to 15 amps. Always refer to the specific unit's specifications for accurate information.

For a 2,000 square foot house, you typically need an air conditioning system with a capacity of around 4 to 5 tons, which translates to approximately 48,000 to 60,000 BTUs. The exact size needed can vary based on factors like the climate, insulation, and layout of the house. Consulting with an HVAC professional for a precise calculation is recommended.

Other Questions

A 20x20 room (400 square feet) typically requires an air conditioner with a capacity of around 10,000 to 12,000 BTUs to effectively cool the space.

If the BTU rating of an air conditioner is too high for the space, the unit will cool the room too quickly without adequately dehumidifying the air. This can lead to a cold, clammy environment and increased humidity levels. Additionally, the unit may cycle on and off more frequently, which can reduce its efficiency and lifespan.
