Air Conditioning Term â¦. âTonâ 1 ton of capacityequals 12,000 Btu/hr â¦ for 24 hours Background on the derivation for tons of refrigerationâ¦and information on the similar SI standard The latent heat of fusion for ice is 144 BTU/lb. For one ton, that is 2000 lb x 144 BTU/lb, or 288,000 BTU. As a rule of thumb, 400 square feet can be cooled per 12,000 BTU/hr (12,000 BTU/hr equals one ton of air conditioning). However, other factors which will also affect the total heat load. â¢ Simply put, a one-ton air conditioner can remove 12,000 BTU from a space per hour.
1 On average, an air conditioning unit can cost anywhere from $400 to as much as $5,000. 2  This is not going to include the price of installing it. 3  For example, a house that is anywhere from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet will need an air conditioner that will provide enough power to cool each room. An air conditioning unit is capable of providing cold air to different sized rooms, and this depends on the capacity of the air conditioner; the higher power output the unit has, the more expensive it will be. 2  On average, an air conditioning unit can cost anywhere from $400 to as much as $5,000.
