Aircon size calculator: what capacity do you need

Work out roughly what cooling capacity (in watts) your room or home needs before you talk to an installer. This helps you avoid paying for an oversized system or ending up with one that struggles on hot days.

Recommended cooling capacity
3,500 - 4,000 W

This is an estimated capacity range in watts; an installer will confirm the exact unit size after a site visit.
