HVAC BTU and Ton

I show how to calculate the tonnage raging based on the BTU information on a data label.

Attention: Do not try any of what you see in this video at home. It takes at least two years of HVACR schooling to become qualified to learn in the field how to work on heating and air conditioning equipment. Then it takes another three years of apprenticeship training to become competent enough to safely work on heating and air conditioning equipment.

DrZarkoff, I just want to thank you for your great videos. I am currently a student at The Refrigeration School (RSI) in Phoenix, Arizona. We watch your videos in class. They are very useful. Thanks again and keep them coming!

Hi DrZarkloff.please help me with this.I was deployed to service a window casement unit.after cleaning the coils.I fitted it back in the frame.I switched on and there is cold air blowing in and hot blown out by the other blower.surprisingly it doesn't cool the room even after running it for an hour.not even a bit.can u please educate me in troubleshooting this problem.thanks very much.

@sqhunters If the coils are already clean then the problem is probably with the compressor. Time for a new unit.

I knew 12,000 btu was a ton,it helped seeing the model # with the two letter rating for tonnage.
