The 30 in the model number states it to be a 2.5 ton. 12 (short for 12,000 btu's being 1 ton) plus 12 (one ton) plus 6 (half of twelve so 6,000 or 6-half of one ton) equals 30. 12 12 6 -- 30 = 2.5 ton. Moreso than tonnage is kw and amperage. __________________ Thanks.

Based on our house size, I figured they were 2 ton units, with this new info we might have to get a bigger generator to support up-to-5-ton... The label says the min amps are 17.5, max 30 https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5tv7smsse...2011.08.25.jpg Last edited by BigBlue124; 05-29-2012 at 02:43 PM. Reason: attempting to insert pic
