yeah? what if the cooling load is 57,978 btu and the heating load is
37,856 btu. Guess what? Nobody makes a 40,000 btu 5 ton furnace. So
instead we sell a 80,000 two stage furnace, because 75-80k is the
smallest size that comes with a 5 ton blower.....I run a 2 stage 60k
furnace in my own home, and 2nd stage isnt even wired in.
