What does the tonnage of a furnace mean?
Tonnage is actually a useful measure of the amount of heat the furnace can put out. (This is why you’ll hear BTUs used with air conditioners as well; it’s the amount of heat the system removes from the air.) Since BTUs are such as small amount, tons are used for greater convenience. One ton is equal to 12,000 BTUs.
