📐 What size space will a 30,000 BTU system cool? ›
A 30,000 BTU (2.5 Ton) system typically services 1,200 to 1,800 square feet. This makes it perfect for large open floor plans, master suites, garage workshops, or small server rooms. If you have high ceilings (over 9ft), calculate closer to 1,200 sq ft.
⚡ Do I need special wiring for 30k BTU? ›
Yes. Unlike small 115V units, a 30,000 BTU system strictly requires a 208/230V power source. You will likely need a double-pole breaker (usually 25A or 30A depending on the brand) installed in your electrical panel.
$ How much does installation cost in 2026? ›
Average professional installation for a high-capacity system ranges from $6,500 to $11,000. Choosing top brands like Cooper & Hunter from MiniSplitsForLess ensures long-term value and reliability.
🔥 Can this unit heat my whole house? ›
A 30k BTU unit is a powerful heat pump. If your home is around 1,500 sq ft, it can serve as a primary heat source. For colder climates (Northern US/Canada), ensure you select a model with Hyper Heat capabilities to maintain efficiency down to negative temperatures.
🌿 What is a good SEER2 rating for this size? ›
Larger units often have slightly lower SEER ratings than tiny units, but you should still aim for 18 to 22 SEER2. Our inventory features R-32 optimized systems that meet the strict 2026 energy standards for tax rebates.
📏 How far can the outdoor unit be from the indoor unit? ›
30,000 BTU compressors are powerful. They typically support line set lengths of up to 98 to 164 feet (depending on the model), with a maximum vertical lift of 50-65 feet, offering great flexibility for placement.
🛠️ What maintenance does a 2.5 Ton unit need? ›
Clean the reusable air filters every 2 weeks to maintain airflow. Professionally deep clean the coils and check refrigerant levels once a year. Keeping the outdoor unit free of debris (leaves, snow) is critical for longevity.
