[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2776381, member: 6145"] Really do not know a lot about this. Did you mention that amount of insulation you have in the attic? I have 2175 sq ft and a 3 ton unit. when I replaced my unit several years ago i got all types of quotes and prices. some said 3 was not enough, some professionals wanted 4 and 5. the 3 ton unit will keep the house at 76 -74 during day and night which is fine with us. it will have problems keeping it cool when very, very hot like 110 or a house full of people on a very hot day. you might put your hand around the locks on your doors and feel the air flow and check your fireplace. we had all windows replaced, some top of the line dual pane windows which reflect heat. they had small pieces of metal specs in the outside pane which would reflect heat. this lowered our bill. i work at home so i keep it cool all day. around 200-250 month.
