2. BTU Capacity

BTU ratings affect cost — larger spaces require higher BTUs, which typically cost more. For instance:

  • Small rooms: ~9,000 BTU systems (affordable and efficient)

  • Larger spaces: 12,000 BTU+ systems (priced higher due to capacity)

3. Advanced Features & Efficiency

Features such as inverter technology, WiFi smart control, self-cleaning modes, and high SEER ratings increase upfront costs but provide significant long-term energy savings and comfort.
