Recommended BTU By Room Size
Use this guide to size each individual zone — the combined BTU of all air handlers must not exceed 48,000 BTU total.
| BTU Per Zone | Recommended Room Size (Sq. Ft.) |
|---|---|
| 6,000 BTU | Up to 150 sq. ft. |
| 9,000 BTU | 151–350 sq. ft. |
| 12,000 BTU | 351–500 sq. ft. |
| 18,000 BTU | 501–750 sq. ft. |
Example: A 6-zone setup could use two 12,000 BTU + two 9,000 BTU + two 6,000 BTU air handlers (12K + 12K + 9K + 9K + 3K + 3K = 48K total). Actual performance may vary depending on insulation, ceiling height, windows, and climate zone.
