The cooling size of residential air conditioners are measured in tons. It seems sort of random, but this is simply the convention. In the parlance of "tons," you look for numbers that are divisible by 6 on the Model Number or M/N on the information sticker located usually on the backside of the unit. This is typically a longish series of numbers. But what you are looking for is a 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, etc. And where 12 denotes a one ton system, a 36 denotes a 3 ton system, a 42 denotes a 3 and a half ton system, etc.
This information is helpful if you need to replace your air conditioning unit and need help determining the size of your existing unit.
