Eli5: Why are hotel air conditioners able to get the room so cold while home ACs can’t?

242 views

It seems like I can hang meat in my hotel room pretty effortlessly but my home AC really can’t get my house as cold. Is there a fundamental difference between how the two ACs operate or am I just more likely to crank my AC down at a hotel?

You’re only cooling a few thousand cubic feet of volume in a small room in a hotel. In your house it’s magnitudes more Volume your ac has to cool. Add in small gaps in windows and doors for air to escape, you’ll never get it as cold as a hotel.
