Temperature Recovery Time Calculator

Calculate how long your air conditioner takes to cool a room to your desired temperature. Estimate cooling time, energy costs, and get AC capacity recommendations.

?
The floor area of the room you want to cool. Larger rooms require more cooling capacity and take longer to reach the desired temperature.
square meters
?
The height from floor to ceiling affects total room volume. Higher ceilings mean more air to cool, increasing recovery time.
meters
?
The starting temperature of the room before cooling begins. A larger temperature difference requires more time and energy to achieve your target.
degrees Celsius
?
Your target temperature for comfort. Most people prefer between 20-24°C for indoor comfort.
degrees Celsius
?
The cooling power of your air conditioner measured in BTU (British Thermal Units). Higher BTU units cool faster but consume more electricity.
BTU
?
How well your room retains cool air and blocks outside heat. Better insulation significantly reduces cooling time and energy costs.
?
The current outside temperature affects heat transfer through walls and windows. Higher outdoor temperatures make cooling more challenging and slower.
degrees Celsius
?
Your cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) from your electricity bill. This is used to calculate the operating cost for cooling your room.

Estimated Recovery Time
The approximate time required for your air conditioner to cool the room from current to desired temperature. Actual time may vary based on airflow, humidity, and heat sources in the room.
—
Estimated Cooling Cost
The projected electricity cost to achieve your desired temperature during this cooling cycle. This helps you understand the energy expense of cooling your space.
Recommended AC Capacity
The optimal air conditioner size for your room based on its dimensions and insulation. If your current AC capacity is lower than this, cooling will take longer than estimated.

Temperature Recovery Time Calculator

This calculator helps you estimate how long your air conditioner will take to cool a room to your desired temperature, along with the associated energy costs. By considering factors like room size, insulation quality, and outdoor temperature, you can better plan your cooling needs and understand your AC's efficiency. Use the recommended capacity output to determine if your current air conditioner is appropriately sized for your space, or if upgrading would provide faster, more efficient cooling.
