cooling two rooms with one unit
We live in an apartment and we need to cool a 12x12 living room and a 9x12 bedroom adjacent the living room, with a 33" door. The celing is 8 feet high. I can put a wall split unit either in the living room or in the bedroom. In both cases, the unit will be about 10 feet away from the door. Will one unit be able to cool both rooms? If so, is it better to put it in the living room or the bedroom? Is 2.5kW enough? (say Mitsubishi MSZ GE25). The rest of the apartment is separated by a door which we will keep closed.

Re: cooling two rooms with one unit
why not fit a multi split and have 2.5 kw in each room, you could then run one or both.

notuno, depends where you live in the States, and what ambient temperatures are there in summer and winter. Generally, a 12 by 12 foot room is run by a 3.5 KW a/c. Gets tricky trying to do two rooms with one a/c.
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.

Re: cooling two rooms with one unit
Mount it in living room, oppose to bedroom door, and you will be probably fully satisfied (depending on isolation of builiding and climate conditions).

If rented, get a split portable and move it around where you want it.

Hi Notuno
3.5kw in the living room - less noise in bedroom
All doors kept closed
black out blind in bedroom - kept closed on hot days
2 x 4inch fans (+ 4 cheap pictures )
Use hole cutter for two holes in livingroom/bedroom wall
one top / one bottom
mount one fan with air flow livingroom to bedroom bottom
the other air flow bedroom to frontroom top
should work fine (know a man who did exactly this ) & when the landlords due just isolate fans & cover with pictures
You can even leave cheap pics up when you move out - then whose to knowIf the World did not Suck, We would all fall off !
