I have a house with both single and three phase electric. I'm thinking
of
adding air conditioning. Pros and cons of three phase?? It's a small
house,
two tons should be enough.

Let your contractor choose what is best after doing the manual
calculations.
What voltage is the service?
Are you saying on a small house you have 2 services?
Check with your utility for rebates and deals offered. Mine has deals all
of
the time.

I am unaware of any 3 phase units that small. The smallest I have ever
seen
is 3 tons. No over is not a good idea.


The three phase is 200 Amp, 240 volt. I didn't look at the single phase to
see what current it is. Two separate meters, and two separate services but
billed on one account. I'm the only house with three phase power in the
neighborhood. That can't be good
