Can you tell me the ''TON'' rating for a Amana model rcb48a2a air conditioner

4 ton

Hello
308 probably 3 1/2 tons.

Pretty sure the 5C = 5 tons.The model # will always help with size...3/4 hp is on 4ton & 5ton

Hi,
You need a niminal 3 ton compressor...the "36" in the model number gives you the 3 ton rating...36000 BTU @ 12000 BTU/ton = 3 ton...
So you need a 3 ton 240 volt single phase compressor...

ANY # DIVISABLE BY 12. MODEL HAS  12-24-30-36-40-48-54-60 12 1 TON 24 2 TON 30 2 1/2 36  3 TON 36.00 BTU 40 3 1/2 48 4 TON 48.00 BTU 54  4 1/2 60 5 TON   60.000 BTU

Here in Florida the old Standard was around 700 S.Foot per ton.
Now days we size them 400-500 S.Foot per ton.
Appears by your Model number you have a 2-1/2 Ton system.
So id give you Max around 1700 SF.
Min 1200 SF depending on the conditions at the home.

Just a thought for you, Most AC companies will give you a free estimate for a new Ac unit, and can tell you what you may need Unit size wise.

Good Luck!

the model number tells me it's a 4 ton. the 048 is what it gives it away. 1 ton is 12,000 btu's . 4 ton is equal to 48,000 btu's

ckl60 5 ton about a 2003 model on most ac heat pumps the model number reflects the ton sized by 12000 btus per ton also as for the indoor unit cfm rating 400 cfm per ton

usually in the model number 12000btu per ton ex cplt024 2 ton 36 3ton 42 3.5 also same on compressor model number although could be less if high eff

Looking at the model number, it appears to be a 3 ton. (36,000 btu) Most all residential units are single phase and most all commercial are 3 phase. One way to tell, look to see if the compressor has a capacitor. 3 phase never use capacitors on the compressors as they are not needed. Some residential units have a "Dual" capacitor. That is, it has 3 terminals, 1 common, 1 for condenser fan motor, and 1 for the compressor. Also, this info should be printed on the unit's lable.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
