How much would it cost to upgrade my 2 ton A/C Unit with a 3 ton unit?
Q. I have an older home (50 years) and recently had an energy audit. The man informed me that my 2 ton unit is insufficient to cool my 1450 sq foot home. He said I should upgrade to a 3 ton unit. I live in kentucky and am wondering approximately what it would cost to upgrade my unit and also what can I do with my old 2 ton unit? Does it have resale value?

A. First off, do not buy a used unit!! You don't know where the unit has been nor what kind of condition you are buying it in. Plus manufacturer warranties are voided. Get a reputible company who has been in business for a while to give you a free estimate. Check out the local BBB. A reputible company will do what is called a Manual J, which is called a load calculation. Since the engergy auditer found you needed a 3 ton unit, you can show the company this. Deending on if you need a heatpump or straight AC (if you have a furnace), cost will change. However, you must determine what is important to you. Energy savings? Price? Allergen reducer? Warranty? Noise? Brand name? All of these factors go into chosing a unit. And the smallest unit… [cont.]

What are the settings for R22 on an older 2 ton unit?
Q. What are the settings for R22 on an older 2 ton unit? Right now it is 140 on the high and 60 on the low. Tag on air unit says 150 low 300 high (PSI). I don't know to add or remove freon.
Asked by lman9999@pacbell.net - Wed Jul 15 15:01:42 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The pressures you saw listed on the tag were actually the manufacturers test pressures at the factory to insure that there were no leaks in the piping. On an R22 unit the condensing temperature will generally be about 30 degrees higher than the ambient temperature. So on a day that is 70 degrees outside, the condensing temperature would be approximately 100 degrees. Your pressure at 100 degrees would be 195 PSIG. You can do a search for refrigerant pressure/temperature charts and see all of the correlating pressures to temperatures for a given refrigerant. Based on your low and high side readings, it would appear that you're a little low on refrigerant. One word of caution: Unless you possess an EPA certification to handle refrigerants,… [cont.]

A. It can be a complicated formula that people go to school to learn properly. However, you can get pretty close so long as you know a good amount about the room (amount of insulation, window efficiency values, etc.) that your trying to size. There are many free "heat gain calculators" on-line that will help you figure out what you need. Once you get how much cooling you need make sure the registers allow enough air through them. Different registers have different amounts of free area. Also remember when running duct through a stud cavity that a 14 x 10 register will fit on your wall but the stud cavity is only 3 1/2 x 14.

What is the difference in a 4 ton air unit and 5 ton?
Q. I now have a 4 ton however it's not cooling fast enough or cold enough.
Asked by thelandlord22 - Wed Jun 25 20:22:58 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The difference is 1 ton. What is a ton of air conditioning in SI units? It is an energy unit that should be able to be converted into BTU/hr or kW or something similar. This unit originated with the cooling capacity of a ton of ammonia, the first refrigerant. A Ton of air conditioning equals 12,000 Btu/h (also one Btu/h is equal to 0.293 watts so...One ton = 3.516 Kilowatts) You probably need a ton and 1/2 or two ton airconditioner, since your smaller one isn't working. Now you know.

Can I replace a 2.5 ton Heat Pump Compressor with an A/C only unit?
Q. I have a home with a 2.5 ton Heat Pump: split unit with compressor outside and air handler with heat strip inside The compressore has failed and I do not want the expense of replacing everything AND have been told that it is both possible and not possible toreplace the outside compressor for the unit The model of Heat Pump is a trane bwd730A100B1. I believe this is a 2.5 ton unit, not sure of the SEER rating.

A. Depending upon age you can just replace the compressor if one is still available.Yes you can use an a/c only condenser but you will have to rewire the t-stat and indoor unit to run the strip heat when there is a call for heat.This will increase your electric bill in the winter.The other factors are matching the evap with a new 13 seer condenser which usually requires a txv to be installed also depending upon brand and age of the system. Sometimes you can still find a 10 seer unit if you know the right people or contractor which will match you system again depending on age. If you do replace the compressor only make sure that the proper filter driers are installed, and that the system is cleaned up accordingly. Clean up of the system… [cont.]
