How do you measure a furnace tonnage?

Measure the square footage of every room and hallway in your house. Add your findings to determine your house’s total square footage. Multiple the total square footage by 35 to determine the BTU capacity your furnace needs. Divide the result by 12,000 to figure out the tonnage requirement for the furnace.

How do you calculate air tonnage?

To estimate your AC tonnage needs, multiply the number of square feet you’re cooling times 25. This equals the total number of BTUs you need to adequately cool your space. Next, divide that number by 12,000 to determine the tonnage capability you need in your new air conditioning unit.

How many tons is a Tempstar air conditioner?

For Tempstar, you should look for two numbers in the middle of the model number that are divisible by 6 or 12, and represent the nominal BTU of the system in thousands. A ton of air conditioning equals 12,000 BTU, and 30 divided by 12 equals 2.5, so the data plate below indicates the system is 3 tons.
