For example, a 30,000 BTU, 2.5-ton air conditioner is made to effectively cool a home between 1,200 and 1,500 square feet. A slightly larger 3,600, 3-ton unit, is designed for homes that are 1,500 to 1,800 square feet.
What size AC do I need for a 2000 square foot home?
Pro Tip: as a rule of thumb, the maximum AC unit size you need to install should not be more than 15% more than the BTU's you need to cool your house. This means that if your house requires a 24,000 BTU unit (2 tons), you should not install one that is larger than 30,000 BTU's (3 tons) to maintain energy efficiency.
How many square feet is a 2.5-ton AC good for?

What size air conditioner do I need for a 2200 square foot house?
