The rule of thumb is you use a 2 ton system for your size home.

Really numbnuts? Rule of thumb? Where?
There are no rules of thumb in HVAC..NONE...only that most observant
contractors still have two, and havent lost one.

If that home is in Palm Springs CA, and on the third story of a condo unit,
it MIGHT take 4 tons...even 5.....you dont know.


In all seriousness, this Ace fella is no ace...hes a hack if he believes
what he wrote for a second.
