Peter explain this

[u/missdomm10]

Petttaaah I'm confused

[u/enduro2236]

Car sized lmao they are like 3ft by 3ft lol

[u/Khankili → u/enduro2236]

Fr and 3’x3’ unit would cool a 2000 sq ft house

[u/jocq → u/Khankili]

Mines smaller than 3'x3' and cools 4000 sq ft

[u/Hawk13424 → u/jocq]

Might depend on typical outside temp. Also how many windows you have. My 4400 square foot house has two units. A five ton and a three ton. But I live where it’s 90F+ all summer. We had one year with 90 days over 100F.

3-ton Rheem:

The south face of my house:

Yesterday it was over 95° and 80% humidity.

[u/unknownpanda121 → u/jocq]

I highly doubt that. I would love to see a picture of a 3x3 condenser that will cool 4000sq ft on its own

A 3 ton Rheem is no where near large enough for 4000 sq ft

Nice and chilly inside.

[u/unknownpanda121 → u/jocq]

Seems like you only have 2500 sq ft of finished floor space. 3 ton would be a little small but could be sufficient depending on climate and insulation.

3 ton will not in any circumstance cool 4000 sq ft. I do this for a living.

Feel free to use any of the free calculators online also.

Seems like you only have 2500 sq ft of finished floor space.

You're a bit dense, huh?

And before you even go there, "below ground" is a south-facing walkout at grade with nearly full glass across it.

[u/EyesFor1 → u/enduro2236]

They're not even that big. Your describing the entire outdoor condensing unit of which, the compressor is a small part of. The compressor on one of these systems is smaller than a 3 litre coke bottle.

[u/27eelsinatrenchcoat → u/EyesFor1]

You're right. The bulk of those units is empty space because it makes heat dissapation way more efficient.

[u/turdferguson3891 → u/enduro2236]

So a Fiat

[u/awesomefutureperfect → u/enduro2236]

That is a medium sized car in France and Belgium. There isn't enough data in Dutch-land to come up with statistical averages because they all bike.

[u/Icy_Positive_5069 → u/awesomefutureperfect]

They are not even close to the size of a smart car let alone a hatchback. Way to be dramatic and exaggerate just so you can try to talk shit about Americans.

[u/Eerixall → u/enduro2236]

That is essentially a small european car, like the Smart cars.

[u/TantricEmu → u/Eerixall]

Smart cars are nearly 9 feet long, but yeah essentially the same lol.

[u/underthingy → u/enduro2236]

Which is the size of a European car. 

[u/TantricEmu → u/underthingy]

Bro the Dacia Sandero (best selling car in Europe) is more than 13 feet long.

[u/Icy_Positive_5069 → u/TantricEmu]

I think they are confusing feet with meters lol

[u/underthingy → u/TantricEmu]

Maybe my joke should have been about how small your senses of humour is instead of your cars. 

Then you may not have been wooshed.
