    Tonnage and voltage will be listed on the information tag affixed to the unit.

    Note: A 3 phase unit will usually not work in a residential setting as well as 440 and 880 volt units or anything besides a 220/240 single phase unit will probably not work also. You are looking for 220/240 single phase for residential usage.

    They come in all tonnage sizes and a measurement of 4X6 means nothing except to say it is a guess at 2 to 5 ton.

    They could be installed in a residential home BUT the modification costs will probably be prohibitive.

    Somewhere on the unit there will be a name brand, a model number,a serial number,, without this info there is no way to tell the ton and voltage,, without knowing the voltage I could not say if it can be used in a home
