So my American Standard has a 24 in the serial number but a 30 is in the model number. We thank you for the information, but think it's idiotic that we have to research this instead of the manufacture just putting it on the ID plate.
I found this on heatinghelp.com. I'm assuming it's accurate, but always worth double checking. The 411 designation means that it's a 3 ton system according to this.

I have an approximate 2300 sf home. My ac model # on top of the label reads 38BRG060300. However, on the bottom it reads 38BRG060---301. Would I divide the 30 by 12 for 2.5 tonnage or 60 by 12 for 5 tonnage? Thank you.
What brand of unit is it? I had someone else ask me a similar question earlier this year. When I googled the brand and model number that information popped up in an article. When I googled your model number and "air conditioner" this article came up. It looks like a carrier rated at 5 tons of cooling. The "60" divided by 5 equals a 5 ton system. If correct, that's A LOT of cooling load for a 2,300 sq ft home. Assuming average windows and insulation, a 3 ton unit should be more than sufficient.

@@insulwiseenergycomfortsolu3293 The article appears to be accurate. It is of the Carrier brand. Same model number and R22 Refrigerant. My home was built in 2006. So, it’s about the same age as the writer in the article indicated. If it truly a 5 ton, what are your thoughts on the Airgo air conditioner soft start (16-32a)? It says it works on AC units 4-7 tons.
@@Shalatee Hi there, I'm not sure what type of system you might want to I assume replace it with? I will say that 5 tons of cooling seems like A LOT for a house that size. If it were me, I'd hire a good company to air seal and upgrade your attic insulation, and perform all other obvious weatherization / insulation measures. I'd then contact a reputable HVAC company and get some estimates. You should be able to cool your home with a 2.5 - 3 ton system if it's well insulated and fairly tight.
@@insulwiseenergycomfortsolu3293 Thanks for the info. I got a hold of Carrier, who identified my unit as a 5 ton by the serial number. They said different size units can be used depending on, as you said, the air seal and other factors.
That's not right. In the model number there should be a number that is divisible by 6 typically. If it's 18 that means 1.5 tons. If it's 36 that means 3 tons, etc.

Haha..my thoughts exactly. It'll be the model number. You've got a 2.5 ton system there.

I got a HS29-411-2P what would be the tons for it? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t seem to find anything close to finding the correct number

You might've mentioned that the 6, 12, 18, etc. numbers aren't arbitrary. They're thousands of BTUs.
Correct
Mine says 047.... So, that's almost 48, which would be 4 tons, right?? But that's weird
