Charlotte Home Inspector Shows How To Tell The Size of and AC Unit on Kannapolis Home

http://www.askthecharlotteinspector.com Recently Kannapolis Home Inspector did an inspection on an older home which has a new AC system. I am ask all the time how to tell the size of an AC unit? Most units have some numbers that look like 018, 024, 030, 036, 042, 048, etc etc. A ton is twelve thousand BTU's. So to figure out the tonage you need to take the before mentioned numbers and divide by 12. That would give you 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.0 tons respectively. The next question I usually get is how much sq footage will a ton cool? That is actually not a simple question because there are so many varibles involved like ceiling height and thickness of insulation etc. Usually a ton will cool somewhere between 500-700 sq ft, A two ton unit would generally cool somewhere between 1000 - 1400 sq ft. If the house was 2000 sq ft a two ton unit would obviously not be adequate. For more information about home inspections or air conditioners go to our website http://www.homeinspectioncarolina.com
