Climate city
Which AC should I buy for a coastal city or high-humidity area?
Our calculator applies a real +20% capacity adjustment for Warm-Humid climate zones — genuinely significant, since humidity makes a room feel hotter than the thermometer alone suggests, and the AC has to work harder to remove that moisture on top of lowering temperature. Beyond sizing, salt-air corrosion resistance matters more in coastal areas specifically — ask your dealer about this for outdoor unit longevity.

This +20% factor exists because Warm-Humid conditions genuinely demand more from a compressor than a Hot-Dry climate does at the same temperature — the AC isn't just fighting heat, it's fighting humidity too, and undersizing for a coastal city based on temperature alone is a common real mistake.
