What size AC unit for 2400 sqft ranch house in NC
2.5 ton a/c unit
I am looking for a window AC unit to use in my whole house. What is the BTU's one would need to cool a whole house?
0.048209 acres.
4 Ton
without looking at the house I would say a 5 ton unit would be good. Does the square footage include a basement? If so then the tonage will be lower.
4 ton
There is no "one size". The number of windows, orientation of the house, insulation, climate, and a number of other factors influence the sizing of the AC unit. If the unit is improperly sized, the energy consumption will be high and the life of the unit will be shortened. The only way to determine the correct size is to do a Manual J calculation, or use software that implements that method.
yes
On average it takes 1 ton per 500 square ft.
Your ac contractor or engineer will determine the correct size.
