**HVAC Tonnage**
HVAC tonnage refers to the cooling capacity of an air conditioning system and is a crucial factor in selecting the right unit for your space. It measures the amount of heat an HVAC system can remove from an area within one hour, typically expressed in tons. One ton of cooling capacity is equivalent to 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour. Understanding HVAC tonnage helps ensure efficient temperature control, energy savings, and optimal comfort by matching the system’s power to the specific needs of your home or commercial building.
