When you're looking for a small air conditioner, explore P.C. Richard & Son's selection of 5000 BTU air conditioners from popular name brands to find the right fit.

What is a 5000 BTU Air Conditioner?

A 5000 BTU AC is an air conditioning appliance that can remove 5000 British Thermal Units of heat from the air per hour. ACs with these lower BTU ratings offer cooling power that is perfect for compact spaces.

What Size Room Will a 5000 BTU Air Conditioner Cool?

You'll want a 5000 BTU air conditioner for a small room up to approximately 150 square feet. A small room air conditioner of this capacity can handle cooling a compact space sufficiently, but larger rooms will require an AC with a higher BTU rating.

In addition to square footage, considerations like ceiling height, typical number of room occupants, and the function of the space can influence the AC rating you'll need.

Use our BTU calculator to find out if a 5000 BTU rating is right for your needs.

What is the Cost of Running a Small Air Conditioner?

The cost to run a 5000 BTU AC for a small room will vary depending on your geographic location and the starting temperature. However, Appliance Analysts estimate that window air conditioners with a 5000 BTU power level will use about 450 watts and cost an average of $41 per year to operate.
