I am just curious. Do you report the tonnage on every home? If so why?

no sir, this home had a newer condensing unit, the house has sat empty for about a year.
The home did not cool properly, and the temperature differential was out of the acceptable range.
kind of my own curosity.
thanks for the info.

Doesnt the 42 in the model number indicate 3 1/2 tons (36+6)? I never provide the tonnage unless asked.

Not to be nit-picking but I thought the tonnage showed up in the model number, not the serial number. If so, then this is probably a 3.5 ton, i.e Model: # 10AJB42A01 results in 42/12 = 3.5 tons.

Default Re: tonnage?

Thats not a bad idea having a chart to reference. I don't report tons on my report, but it never fails that Harry Homebuyer or HArry Homebuyer Dad asks the question whats the tonage of the A/C? or another question I sometimes hear is; what is the SEER rating? I guess they are trying to impress someone, I usually tell them I will get back to them on that when I have a chance to desciper the model and serial number? I do to be prepared, but never tell them unless they ask later after recieving the report, but so far (knock on wood) they seem to have forgotten thier question. Go figure!

Tonnage is in the model number. The 42 indicates 3½ tons.

Model Number = 42,000 BTU/hr or 3.5 tons

Best resource I have found is the Technical Reference Guide from Carson Dunlop
