3.5 Ton Package Air Conditioner

3.5 ton package air conditioners are high-capacity, all-in-one HVAC systems designed for larger homes, multi-room properties, and light commercial spaces that require strong and consistent cooling performance. These systems combine all major components—compressor, condenser, evaporator coil, and air handler—into a single outdoor cabinet, making them a space-saving and efficient solution for ducted cooling applications.

With an approximate cooling capacity of 42,000 BTU per hour, 3.5 ton package AC units are ideal when a 3 ton system is slightly undersized but a 4 ton system would be more than needed.
