that would be a 42,000 btu system

MagiicAir :

basically a high efficiency 4 ton system

ac in house on second floor stinks, could or should I replace this rusty old equipment with a larger unit

MagiicAir :

yes that is a 42000 btu condensor, can you tell me the square footage of your upper floor

Customer :

1500 sq ft approx

Customer :

MagiicAir :

that should be enough tonnage, yes. depending on where you live and how the house is oriented

Customer :

MagiicAir :

you may have a unit that has basically just lost some of its capacity
