1.5 Ton comfortably covers rooms up to about 170 sq ft. Past that, up to roughly 227 sq ft, step up to 2 Ton. If your room sits right around 170–190 sq ft and gets strong afternoon sun, lean toward 2 Ton — better a little headroom than an AC working flat-out on the hottest days of the year. Run your exact dimensions below rather than guessing from floor area alone.
📐 Calculated estimate
Based on real BEE-certified data — see the exact numbers below.
The gap between 1.5 Ton and 2 Ton is real cooling capacity, not just a bigger number — a 2 Ton unit moves meaningfully more heat per hour. Buying 2 Ton for a room that only needs 1.5 Ton means paying more upfront and running less efficiently at partial load; buying 1.5 Ton for a room that needs 2 Ton means the compressor runs at maximum constantly and still struggles to hold temperature on the hottest days.
