    Air Conditions: how many btu's??

    so im looking to buy an air conditioner but i don't know the the volume of the place i am moving into so i thought i'd ask you guys for a general idea. ok, a 2 story 3 bedroom townhouse with big masterbedroom and good sized living room/diningroom. how many btu's would i need to stay nice and cool roughly?

    If it is not central air, good luck. One AC really will not do the job to well.

        yeah, im not talking about central air, can't install that in a townhouse. at night i'll probably keep the bedroom door closed and just cool the bedroom but during the day i want the place to stay moderately cool.

          Good luck getting the whole place to cool down with one window unit.

            were is this townhouse, in the ghetto im presuming. What townhouse thats been built oh say within the last decade doesnt have central AC?
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

              it wasn't built in the last decade, so yes it must be in the ghettos. when looking for places even the new ones didn't have c/a. i didn't really want to pay more than 1000/month for rent, if you want c/a you have to add a few hundred per month at least. i looked at places that were 1400 and didn't even have air...

                just buy two 5000 BTU units and have one one on each floor. You can get those new ones you can move around (on wheels).

                  You need central air, & then a wall unit for your computer room/office.

                      well i would if i could, but i can't. im not gonna install c/a on a place im renting. i wanted to get a place with c/a but the ones that were around 1200 with c/a were too far away from downtown and since my girl works downtown, she wanted a place that wasn't too far away. otherwise i'd have to pay 1400-1500 for a place with c/a sadly. rent prices suck in ottawa.
