AC troubles

[Yotehntr]

I can't figure out what tonnage my ac unit is.... can anyone here figure it out? Here's the tag.

It's 2 ton unit. Model number will tell you.

[Bills Custom Calls]

Brad I got your AC troubles figured out

ACCEPTED FOR USE City of New York

Don't you live in TN
That Damn Yankee system won't work down yonder 

[Bopeye]

I concur with Bill. Anything that is applicable to New York has no business in a good southerners home.  

It won't make any difference if Alscalls does come on here doing three of these  and four of these  , it still is just plain wrong.

Shut up ya big southern round prick.......

   Thanks for the help guys! ...    surprised that the unit was that small though.  I do have 2 this one is for my down stairs... I can remember it struggling a couple years there when it got extra hot....may step it up a 1/2 ton. I'm running my garage window unit in the house now...     I figure I'll save $1500 or so and put it in myself.  The electric shouldn't be any problem, a buddy said he knows some sheet metal guys.

Sheet metal guys?
Phffffffffffft, I know a guy that can build a whole cabin

Bop is correct, 2 ton. 

The basic rule of thumb (in this area of the south anyway) is approx, 1 ton per 1000 square feet of living area. With a multistory home a dual system is usually cheaper in the long run (with both elect. savings and equipment cost).   
Replacing a system can be a chore but it's not rocket science. If you are up sizing make certain your duct work is sized large enough to carry any extra air flow. Package units are pretty simple but with any upgrade the supply and return duct work will usually need to be altered. Read and follow the instruction/installation manual and you should be fine.
If it's a new split system it should come precharged with enough freon for the A-coil and about 20 feet of refrigerant lines. One thing I would advise, on a split system.... having a qualified/certified AC technician connect the freon lines and purge/vacuum & start up the system. Loosing freon due to a small line leak or burning out a compressor due to contaminates can get expensive.   


BTW< Goodman is a good unit.

Shut up ya big southern round prick.......   

That wasn't very nice. If it would have been anyone else it might have hurt my feelings, but since it's you Al, all I can say is.............. 

Now go to bed because I think somebody needs a nap. What's the matter Al, didn't get your normal 12 hours sleep and 4 hours on FNF? Bet the wife made you clean up after yourself didn't she?

I've read all kinds of "formulas" Chet....  that 1 ton per 1000" helpes out alot.   Thanks!   I've heard bad things about "goodman"... or "Jana junk"..   The last 2 houses I've had used 'em though.... both lasted a long time with no maint calls though.   Wouldn't bother me at all to buy another..
