The 5 ton unit will be 120,000 btu’s. I’m not sure about the three ton maybe 80,000?

Sorry, I should have stated I’m in central TN, (Zone 2 or 3). The concrete is already poured and I didn’t think about radiant heat in the floor until it was too late. I’ll probably add a wood stove to supplement the heat when it’s real cold but I definitely don’t want to rely on it. I will...
