Best BTU Options for 750-1,000 sq ft

For 750-1,000 sq ft rooms in Texas, 18,000 BTU works for well-designed 750 sq ft spaces, but 24,000 BTU is often safer for rooms closer to 1,000 sq ft, open concepts, high ceilings, or rooms with significant heat load from windows and occupancy.

For 750-1,000 sq ft, you have several BTU options:

  • 18,000 BTU: Ideal for 750-1,000 sq ft with standard conditions
  • 24,000 BTU: Ideal for 750-1,000 sq ft with challenging conditions (high ceilings, poor insulation, extreme heat)

Texas-Specific Considerations

750-1,000 sq ft rooms are where Texas climate differences really matter. Houston humidity requires proper dehumidification capacity. Dallas afternoon sun through large windows demands extra BTU. Cathedral ceilings add 10-15% to capacity needs.
