For Jordan summers, start from room area in m², then size up for heavy sun or top floors: about 1 ton (~12000 BTU) fits many small-to-mid rooms, while larger spaces need a higher class or a technician survey.
The figures below are rule-of-thumb guidance only, not a professional cooling-load calculation. Insulation, windows, and sun exposure change the need. Cartiva lists split and portable units from published brands such as Sharp, Frigidaire, and Gorenje.
Cooling capacity is usually listed in tons or BTU. A 1-ton class is often about 12000 BTU on consumer listings. Match the class to the room, then compare inverter efficiency and install needs across published models.
Step up a class for west/south sun, high ceilings, or hot roof exposure.
| Approx. area | Common class | Note |
|---|---|---|
| About 12–16 m² | 1 ton / ~12000 BTU | Bedrooms or small offices |
| About 16–22 m² | 1.5 ton | Medium living rooms |
| Larger or open-plan | Higher class or more units | Prefer a technician visit |
| No split install yet | Portable ~12000 BTU | Temporary or hose-ready rooms |
Warm nights in Amman, the Jordan Valley, and humid spots raise runtime hours, so many buyers prefer inverter units for daily rooms. Cartiva delivery within Jordan is usually 24–72 hours by city and stock. Returns are typically requestable within 7 days when eligible and in original condition; copper/electrical installation remains a separate technician arrangement unless a page states otherwise.
For roughly 12–16 m² with reasonable insulation, 1 ton is often a sensible starting point. Larger or very sunny rooms may need a higher class.
Both describe cooling capacity. On many consumer listings, a 1-ton class is about 12000 BTU.
Portables are practical when install is blocked, but they usually need an exhaust path and are often louder and less tidy than a split.
Cartiva product pages show the unit and availability. Copper and electrical install are usually arranged with a technician unless the page explicitly includes them.
Re-check live specs before ordering, and book a technician survey for large or open spaces. Sharp ACs or Frigidaire or Gorenje or Air conditioners category.
