I need to figure out the proper size window air conditioner to put in my garage before the heat of summer hits. (No more sweat running down my nose onto my projects or cast iron.)
I've googled ac calculators and I've come up with anywhere between 9,000 and 15,400 Btu!. So much for that approach. It's a 500 sq. ft. garage that's incorporated into the house, has two good vertical casement windows, faces south, is reasonably well insulated, and will only be occupied by me and the wife's car when I can't get rid of it. Any idea how to accurately calculate the size I need?
Anyone have any recommendations for a unit for this type of window? I'll probably be taking it out of the window during the winter, so I'd like to err on the side of a lighter weight ac.
Finally-are these type of windows (Anderson) tough to get apart? I figure I'll have to get rid of one of the windows to fit the AC. Thanks, Tony
