For a 1400 sq ft space, you would typically need an HVAC system with a capacity of around 28,000 to 36,000 BTUs, or approximately 2.5 to 3 tons.
A 3-ton (36,000 BTU) AC unit is generally suitable for a 1400 sq ft house, but it might be slightly oversized depending on factors like insulation and climate. It's best to consult with an HVAC professional for precise sizing.
If an AC unit is too big for the space, it can lead to short cycling, where the unit turns on and off frequently. This can result in inefficient operation, higher energy bills, uneven cooling, and increased wear and tear on the system.
