This chart is a general guideline that covers tiny houses to average size homes.
5 ton furnace square footage.
The result of this calculation determines the btu capacity of the furnace you need.
House square footage times 30 divided by 12 000 1 0 required tonnage.
You can also get a rough estimate by looking at the square footage of your house.
Sizing inaccuracies one problem with estimating air conditioning size based on square footage is that every home is different.
Get the cost of 1 ton 2 ton 4 ton and 5 ton ac unit.
45 000 12 000 3 75.
Ac unit size calculator accurately estimates the size of the central air conditioner unit you should install in your house.
For this example using an 80 efficient furnace the 1900 square foot home above would require a 90 000 btu input furnace that produces 72 000 btu s of heating which is close enough to the 76 000 btu s required using the climate heating factor.
So for instance a 1 500 square foot home would look something like this.
Multiply your home s square footage by 35 if you re in zone 1 by 40 if you re in zone 2 by 45 if you re in zone 3 by 50 in you re in zone 4 and by 60 if you re in zone 5.
1 500 x 30 45 000.
In the example because the home is in zone 1 you would multiply 1 000 by 35 and get.
