Ankita has rightly explained how to check AC ton capacity. The best way to check AC tonnage is by using BTUs. 1 ton equals 12,000 BTUs per hour. You can check the BTU rating on the AC unit itself or in its package. Let me share the entire process to determine the AC tonnage here.

How To Check AC Tonnage?

Once you find the BTUs of your AC, here is what you need to do:

Divide the BTU rating by 12,000 to convert it to ton. 

Suppose your model has 24000 BTU rating so the 

Ton = 24000/12000

= 2

So this is how to check tonnage of ac

How do You Calculate AC Tonnage?

To get an idea of your AC tonnage, multiply the number of square feet you are cooling by 25. This will give you the total number of BTUs you need to cool your space. Next, you will need to divide the number by 12000 to know the tonnage capability you need in your new AC unit.

I hope this helps you understand how to check tonnage of AC unit.

Our neighbour recently bought an AC and last week we went to check it out. They really seemed happy but when I asked if it was 1ton or 1.5 ton AC, they couldn’t tell. Their son. Living in another city has ordered it for them so they did not know much about it. They in fact asked me how to check AC ton? I was absolutely surprised so I turned towards my father so that he could answer it clearly. If you too do not know how to check it yourself, I can definitely tell you how to check it. It is very important to know the ton and capacity of AC so here it is.

How to check ton of AC?

You can see the BTUs mentioned in the package and with it, you can find the tonnage of your AC. Just divide the BTUs by 12,000 and you will get it. For example if your AC is 36,000 BTUs, it is 36000/12000= 3 ton AC.

  How to know ton of AC if BTU is not mentioned?

Some manufacturers provide the BTU information in their model number so if you are unable to see a 5 digit number, be sure that you will get to see a three digit number starting with 0 or a 2 digit number. For eg: when we looked in our neighbour’s AC package, we saw a number 018 which is actually 18000 BTUs. So 18000/12000= 1.5 Tons AC

  • 024= 24,000 BTUs = 2 Tons

  • 030= 30,000 BTUs = 2.5 Tons

I hope this clearly answers your query on how to know AC ton.

  Why does AC tonnage matter?

BTU is the measuring unit and for 1 sq foot of your room, you will need 20 BTU/hr so it is important to know how much BTUs is in your AC. You cannot use 1 ton AC for a really big room or be sure you need to turn it on for 2 hrs to cool down your room. Hence it is important to know how much BTUs is needed to cool the down based on its area and thus ton plays a vital role to know which AC should be bought.

 

So now after knowing how to check ac ton, you can yourself decide which AC will be best for you.
