Question 1

What happens if I get the wrong tonnage?

Accepted Answer

An undersized AC will struggle to cool the room and run constantly, wasting energy. An oversized AC will cool quickly but create humidity issues and higher electricity bills.

Question 2

Is 1 ton enough for a bedroom in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

For a standard 10x12 ft bedroom with average insulation, 1-1.5 tons is typically sufficient. Dubai's extreme heat may require the higher end of this range.

Question 3

Should I round up or down when choosing tonnage?

Accepted Answer

For Dubai's climate, it's generally better to round up slightly (0.25-0.5 tons) to account for extreme summer heat, especially if the room has large windows or poor insulation.
