Ton - A unit of measurement used for determining cooling capacity. One ton is the equivalent of 12,000 BTUs per hour and BTU means British Thermal Unit. This is the amount of heat it takes to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. For your home, it represents the measure of heat given off when fuel is burned for heating or the measure of heat extracted from your home for cooling
