How to Choose the Right Size Home Depot Air Conditioner
Home Depot offers a wide selection of air conditioners, including brands such as Zenith, LG Electronics, American Comfort and Midea. Home Depot offers a low price guarantee for all its air conditioners and, in some cases, shipping is free for online purchases, including wall and portable air conditioners. Rebates are available for some Home Depot air conditioners; however, conditions and exclusions apply. Regardless of Home Depot's incentives, you should ensure you choose the proper size air conditioner for your space. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Consult an air conditioner sizing guide (see Resources) that offers British thermal unit, or BTU, cooling ratings. Suggested ratings are based on the minimum and maximum square footage of a room. Determine how many BTU are required using the sizing guide and then visit a local Home Depot store. Alternatively, go to Home Depot's website to shop for the right size air conditioner.

Go to the appliance section and find wall unit or portable air conditioners. Both varieties are available in-store and online.

Compare Home Depot air conditioners by BTU and price. If shopping online, compare up to four air conditioners at a time.

4
Check whether the air conditioner has an Energy Star rating, which confirms that it is an energy efficient appliance. Dimensions are also important when deciding whether a Home Depot air conditioner is the right size. Check the weight, height, width and depth. Compare against the dimension of your window, if installing a window air conditioner.

5
Inquire about product features such as product warranties and remote controls. Not all Home Depot air conditioners come with a remote control, so look for this information near the model number.
