Is a 3 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 3 ton system provides 36,000 BTU/h of nominal cooling. It's used in larger condos, townhomes and 3-bedroom units around 1,500–1,800 sq. ft. as a general guide.
Large units with lots of glass or high ceilings may need 3 tons, while well-shaded interior units may not. Confirm with a Manual J load calculation.
Ideal for: Larger condos, townhomes and 3-bedroom units with a wall mount air handler closet.
