What size home would a 2-ton heat pump split system be good for?

My heat pump system is getting older, so I’m trying to get a sense of what I’d need to look for in a replacement. What size home would a 2-ton heat pump split system be good for?

It’s always good to get a sense of what kind of split system heat pump you’d need so you’re not caught off guard if your current one suddenly stops working. A 2-ton heat pump split system is often used for homes of up to 1,000 square feet.
That can vary somewhat depending on the unit and the climate you live in.
For an even smaller space, a 1-ton heat pump split system could work for up to 500 square feet, while the next size up, a 3-ton, could work for up to 1,500 square feet.
As for installation costs, you could typically expect to spend about $3,000 to $6,000 on a 2-ton heat pump split system, depending on labor costs where you live and the price of the unit you choose. That’s a high upfront cost, but it’s still on the lower end compared to larger split system heat pumps.
To find the right size split system heat pump for your home, it’s a good idea to consult one or more heating and cooling experts in your area.
