Would a 3 ton HVAC unit work efficiently in a 1400 square foot home? I need to replace the heat/ac.?
Contractor thinks I should go with 3 1/2 or 4 ton. It is a frame home about 55 years old. The old ac condenser is a 3 ton but does not match the heating unit.
you need an a/c unit that matches the air flow of your furnace. a larger unit will still cool but wont work properly unless it has enough air flow to circulate the heat from your home into the coils. get a second opinion and more estimates to make sure you are not paying for something you dont need.
you might have to replace the furnace at the same time to get a matching system that will work properly.
