Quick question to the pros. If you need 48K BTUs based on a load calculation ( say at 95F outside/75F inside ) design point, do you put in a 4 ton condensor or a 5 ton condensor? My point is a 4 ton condensor probably doesnt produce 4 tons at those design temperatures, it may very well be 3.5 tons. In other words, "4 tons" may be a marketing number ( or does does produce 4 tons but not at 95/75 design temperatures). Do you guys look at the actual capacity at your design temps when choosing equipment or just go with the "marketing" number?
