No. It will be less efficient.

Yes, you can replace a 3-ton compressor with a 2.5-ton compressor, but it may lead to inadequate cooling for larger spaces or higher heat loads, as the new unit will have less capacity. It's essential to assess the specific cooling requirements of your system and ensure that the 2.5-ton compressor meets your needs. Additionally, you may need to adjust other components, such as the expansion valve or ductwork, to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Consulting with an HVAC professional is advisable before making the change.
It should say on the compressor and the fan motor labels.
There is 36.7 IRA that is in a one ton of air compressor.
The cost of an AC compressor depends on the size of the unit, where you live, and who is going to install it. In general, a 2.5 ton compressor will cost between $1000 and $1800 depending on the manufacturer and installer. One user said: You can find a 5 ton compressor for under $1000 online. If it's for a car, 200.00 & up/re manufactured.
The capacity and efficiency would be mostly governed by your indoor coil. When you have a mismatch with the indoor unit being smaller, you will have higher operating costs. The outdoor unit has to work harder to generate the same amount of cooling. This is not a good thing.
Every appliance has a power rating in Watts which will be found on the condensing unit's label. The units Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) is also promonently displayed. EER is the number of btu transfered for each Watt consumed. 7tr = 84kbtu@ EER 10(average) = 8.4kW 8.4 kW is an average requirement for a 7 ton unit. The actual power consumption depends on: insulation, indoor/outdoor temperature difference, thermostat setting, humidity, indoor heat sources, and other factors which affect duty cycle (the percentage of time the compressor is running).
The current rating in amperes (LRA) for a 3-ton air conditioner compressor typically ranges from 30 to 50 amps, depending on the specific model and manufacturer. The LRA value represents the maximum current drawn by the compressor at startup. It's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications or the compressor's nameplate for the exact LRA rating for a particular unit.
