In order to make the right purchasing decision, you need to familiarize yourself with the features and specifications of an air conditioner, such as tonnage.<\/p>\n<p>Tonnage is one of the most confusing jargons in the HVAC industry. The term has nothing to do with weight, and everything to do with a new air conditioner&rsquo;s capacity. It refers to the amount of heat the new air conditioner can remove from a house within one hour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>For example, one tonnage has the capacity to remove 12,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/buying-new-air-conditioner-btu\/\">British thermal units (BTUs)<\/a> in the span of an hour. The more tonnage a unit has, the larger its capacity to cool hot air.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Did_the_Term_Tonnage_Come_From\"><\/span>Where Did the Term Tonnage Come From?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the old days, the term &ldquo;ton&rdquo; was originally used to measure the amount of winter ice harvested from rivers and lakes. Before the advent of the modern air conditioner, these blocks of ice were very effective at extracting heat from air and were used quite often to cool a hot home. Thus, the blocks of ice that cooled the heat within homes were measured by their weight through tons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Match_Your_House_with_a_New_Air_Conditioner\"><\/span>How to Match Your House with a New Air Conditioner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-10.jpg\" alt=\"New Air Conditioner Buying Guide\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-26\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While calculating BTUs and tonnage is not exactly rocket science, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered for new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/air-conditioner-sizing.html\">air conditioner sizing<\/a>. It would be a mistake to simply compute the tonnage required on a room based on square footage alone, as every home is created unique and different.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to accurately size a new air conditioner is to do a load calculation. This is known within the HVAC industry as a Manual-J calculation, and is the protocol used to measure the amount of tonnage needed in a home. Some of the factors that come into play when doing a Manual-J \u00a0calculation for a new air conditioner are: the temperature and humidity regularly experienced in your home in St. Louis, the quality of insulation your house has, your homes orientation towards the sun, the number and sizes of windows, and the number of occupants.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_More_About_the_Tonnage_Required_for_Your_New_Air_Conditioner\"><\/span>Learn More About the Tonnage Required for Your New Air Conditioner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Admittedly, all of these variables can be a lot to take in at first glance.
