BTU Sizing Chart for Mini Split Systems

Check out our square footage and BTU comparison chart below. The following table is for individual zones, for a multi-zone, combine the total BTU’s needed to establish the overall BTU values of the system.

Area To Be Cooled	Capacity Needed (BTUs Per Hour)
150 to 250 square feet	6,000 BTUs
250 to 300 square feet	7,000 BTUs
300 to 350 square feet	8,000 BTUs
350 to 400 square feet	9,000 BTUs
400 to 450 square feet	10,000 BTUs
450 to 550 square feet	12,000 BTUs
550 to 700 square feet	14,000 BTUs
700 to 1,000 square feet	18,000 BTUs
1,000 to 1,200 square feet	21,000 BTUs
1,200 to 1,400 square feet	23,000 BTUs
Up to 1,500 square feet	24,000 BTUs

Environmental Factors

Take into consideration any environmental conditions or external factors, including increased humidity, temperature, ceiling height, and/or additional heat sources. If any of these factors apply to you, you may want to consider increasing the BTU values to compensate for the environmental factors.

Environmental Condition	% BTU Increase
Ceiling Height: If your ceilings are higher than 8 feet, you should increase your number of BTUs.	20%
Insulation: Poorly insulated areas require more power to cool.	30%
Climate: In areas with seasonal temperatures often exceeding 90 degrees F.	30%
