Sunshine installs 3 ton units. I have talked with a couple of the other owners with the 2.5 units and everyone says the same thing. The rooms the farthest from the Air Handler are harder to get cooled down. I have not had a chance to talk with the owner of a 3 ton.



When I talked with the builder he said it is all figured out differently for each house. But it seems weird that every house that has a Munns unit they are 2.5 and every house that has a 3 ton unit are Sunshine.


We recently sold a Gardenia & purchased another Gardenia. The house we sold was standard with no stretches & no radiant roof barrier. My new Gardenia has stretches & a radiant roof barrier. We had a 3 ton unit in the one we sold & we now have a 2.5 ton unit in the new home. Our current home because of the radiant roof barrier, the cooling load in the house is not as great.
