Is a 2.5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 2.5 ton system provides 30,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling. It's often used in larger 2-bedroom condos and townhome-style units around 1,200–1,500 sq. ft. as a rough guide.
Ceiling height, glass area and how many exterior walls the unit has all shape the load. A Manual J load calculation gives a reliable answer.
Ideal for: Larger 2-bedroom condos and townhome-style units with a wall mount closet.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton Rheem 15.2 SEER2 R454B Central Wall Mount Apartment/Condo Type System RA14AY36AJ1NA, RF2TY3624STANSJ, which uses the same air handler.
Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
