I have a 236 square foot room with 9.5 foot ceiling, 4 foot windows on two of the walls protected with blackout curtains, room gets sun for the morning. I currently have a 12,000 BTU A/C unit, not an inverter type. I believe this one is 10 SEER. Anyway, I am considering buying a new inverter unit so I can have some power savings. An installer "professional installer" from Refripartes Puerto Plata recommended a 18,000 BTU unit, Lennox name brand. He says it has a 18 SEER rating but I have yet to confirm that for myself, which I will do before buying. Price of unit is 34,000rd deinstall old unit 800RD install new unit 4000RD
Here are my questions, concerns if anyone with some experience can help...
Does 18,000BTU seem to large? All American BTU calculators show that a 12,000 unit should be more than fine.(20 BTU per square foot)
Second: Anyone here have experience with Lennox mini split A/C units here in the DR?
Third: Any other suggestions, or comments on the stated prices (positive or negative).
