1 ton of cooling is equal to 12000 btu's so 2 tons would be equal to 24000 btu's so if you are trying to size your home a rule of thumb is 600 to 700 square feet of living space per ton so if you have approximately 1500 square feet you would need a 2 1/2 system

One ton of cooling capability is about 12,000 BTUH. 1.5 ton or 2 ton scales accordingly.

One ton refers to the amount of cooling required to make one ton (2200 lbs) of ice in 24 hours. That is the background. Like auto horsepower, it has stretched a bit :o)
