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.
Need heating from the outdoor unit? See the 3 Ton Rheem RP14AY36AJ2NA, RF2TY3624STANSJ heat pump wall mount system, 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.
