Bigger is not better with air conditioning. An oversized unit short-cycles, leaves your home humid, and wears out faster. Here is how sizing works.
As a starting point, South Florida homes need roughly one ton of cooling per 400 to 600 square feet, adjusted for ceiling height, sun exposure, insulation, and windows. A 1,500 square foot home often lands around 3 tons.
Square footage is only a starting point. A Manual J load calculation accounts for your specific home so the system is sized correctly. We run one as part of every replacement quote.
