Good afternoon,
I would like to cool a room which is around 72 sq ft. I currently cool it with a general electrics 5000 btu window ac with eer rating of 11 and 455 watt power consumption. I was wondering if a 9000 or 12000 btu mini split inverter air coinditioner would be more efficient in energy consumption. the inverters can go as low as 3000 btus sometimes so that means if the 9000 btu inverter starts at max consumption until the room is at desired temperature and stays afterwards at 3000 btus to maintain desired temperature, over the long run it would probably be more economical as the inverter would stay on at 3000 btu which is a lower power consumption than the window ac which is always at 5000 btu. Which would be more efficent the window 5000 btu non inverter ac or the 9000 or 12000 btu inverter mini split ac?
thanks
