How many BTUs per hour is a ton?

How many BTUs per hour is a ton?

12,000 BTU per hour
There’s a complicated mathematical formula involved in converting the weight of that ice into energy, but in the end a “ton” of air conditioning capacity represents roughly 12,000 BTU per hour. So a 2-ton unit has 24,000 BTU/hr capacity and a 3-ton has 36,000 BTU/hr, and so on.

How many BTUs is 4 tons?

48,000 BTUs
A 4 ton air conditioner is one that can remove 48,000 BTUs of heat per hour from the house. For most people, though, 4 tons means 8000 pounds. (A BTU is a British Thermal Unit, approximately the amount of heat you get from burning one kitchen match all the way down.)

What ton is 24000 Btu?

2 tons
The model number shows that the unit is 24,000 Btu’s, divided by 12,000 Btu’s per ton, equals 2 tons.

How many BTUs is 3.5 tons?

42,000 BTU
Common Ton to BTU Chart:

Ton	BTU
2 Ton	24,000 BTU
2.5 Ton	30,000 BTU
3 Ton	36,000 BTU
3.5 Ton	42,000 BTU

What is BTU of 2 ton AC?

24,000 BTUs
A two-ton air conditioner removes 24,000 BTUs per hour. When an air conditioner is listed by BTUs rather than by tonnage, it’s usually referring to BTUs per hour, so the two measures are directly comparable if you multiply or divide by 12.

How many BTU is a 4 ton furnace?

4 Ton 16 SEER 80% AFUE 80,000 BTU Goodman Gas Furnace and Air Conditioner System – Horizontal.

How do you convert Btu hr to tons?

Convert BTU To Ton: How Many BTU In A Ton? (12,000 BTU)

1. 1 ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs.
2. 1 Ton = 12,000 BTU.
3. Tons x 12,000 = Number of BTUs.
4. Number of BTUs / 12,000 = Tons.

What is a 5 ton AC unit?

Tonnage is actually a measure of how powerful an AC is at cooling down a space. Tons are units of cooling power, so when we say that a system is a “two ton” or “five ton” unit, we’re indicating how powerful it is, not its weight. One ton = 12,000 BTUs of heat removed per hour from a space.

What does a 3 ton AC unit mean?

36,000 BTU/hr
So, when we talk about an air conditioner unit rated at 1 ton or 2 or 3 ton, it just means the required amount of energy in BTU to provide that amount of cooling is 12,000 times the rated tonnage. For example, a 3 ton ac unit has 36,000 BTU/hr, a 5 ton ac unit has 60,000 BTU/hr.

How do you convert BTU hr to tons?

Can a furnace be too big for a house?

Having a furnace that’s too big for your space is extremely inefficient. There are two simple signs that indicate that your furnace is most likely oversized: Your furnace runs for a short period of time before shutting off. Your home has uncomfortable hot and cold rooms.

What size furnace do I need for a 2000 square foot home?

approximately 50,000 to 60,000 Btu
A mid-sized home of 2,000 square feet would need approximately 50,000 to 60,000 Btu to heat it properly. With a less efficient furnace operating at 80 percent efficiency this would require a 60,000- to 72,000-Btu furnace.
