British Thermal Unit. Does that help? Actually, the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water, one degree F. In A/C terms it is generally BTUH with the H indicating "per hour." A/C terms are generally associated with a time frame.

How do you measure power of Air conditioning central units?

The power output of air conditioning central units is typically measured in British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/hr) or in tons. BTU is a common unit used to measure cooling capacity, while a unit of refrigeration known as a "ton" is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. The higher the BTU rating or tonnage, the more powerful the air conditioning unit in terms of its cooling capacity.


What does central air size mean?

The size of a central air conditioner is a measure of its' cooling capacity. It is given in tons of air conditioning. A ton of air conditioning is equal to the abilty of the unit to remove 12000 btu of heat per hour.


What is a BTU rating?

If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.
