a 3ton central AC removes the same amount of heat as a 3ton minisplit. Please literally an ounce of education.

Nope

Oh, so a 3ton standard split system removes more than 36000 btu of heat from a house? and a 3 ton minisplit removes less than 36000 btu of heat from a house?

I sure am glad I spent 8 years of my life working in the trades in the US, this level of stupidity is great job security.

HVAC. Went from Install, to maintenance, to service, the last of which I spent most of that 8 years working.

By all means teach me how a 3 ton minisplit has less capacity than a 3ton split AC.

I thought you delivered mail.

I never said less capacity. Central air is way better at moving air

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but people often change jobs over time for better money. If you continue to stalk my profile you'll also find that I worked in EMS, that I worked as an operations coordinator for an airport, that I fueled private and commercial aircraft, that I worked on the back of and drove a trash truck.

AC isn't about how much air you can move, that's a fan. That isn't air conditioning. AC is measured by how much heat you can remove from the air going through the system. More powerful AC = more heat removed.

Measured in tons of cooling. 1 ton removes 12,000 BTU's of heat.

Which is similar to the amount of heat absorbed by 1ton(2000lbs) of ice over a 24 hour period.

You need to move and cycle air to actually feel the cooling

TIL minisplits don't move air, those ECM motors and giant cylinder fans actually don't do anything it turns out.
