OVERVIEW

The ACiQ R4A5S18AKAWA is a standard AC-only condenser. Designed with comfort in mind and an inexpensive but higher-than-standard efficiency option for nearly any application, this condenser is considered a good all-around option for almost any application.

QUICK FACTS

  • Factory pre-charged with enough refrigerant for a 15-foot line set, ensuring proper performance and efficiency right out of the box.
  • 1.5 ton, 14.3 SEER2 AC-only condenser
  • Can cool up to a small house in average conditions
  • Single stage compressor
  • Pre-charged with R-410A refrigerant
  • Filter drier included to be field-installed

1.5 Tons

The ACiQ R4A5S18AKAWA air conditioner condenser has an output of 1.5 tons, generally enough to cool up to a small house in ideal climates. In many system configurations, the tonnage of the unit's paired coil or air handler will be larger in tonnage than this condenser, which maintains the efficiency of the unit. Please note that this condenser cannot function or provide any sort of heating on its own, and it needs an indoor coil or air handler to work. If you have any questions, please contact us.

14.3 SEER2

The ACiQ R4A5S18AKAWA air conditioner condenser is rated at 14.3 SEER2, making it between 5-7% more efficient than standard 13.4 SEER2 units, saving you money in electric bills over the entire lifetime of your unit.

Warranty

ACiQ offers a 10 year parts warranty on this condenser. For these warranties to be upheld, the unit must be installed following your state and local codes, a new and certified coil must be installed at the same time, and the entire system must be registered online through the manufacturer.

Durability

The cabinet of ACiQ units are extremely durable. On the R4A5S18AKAWA, there are reinforced corner posts and the internals of the unit are protected by an additional inlet grille, all to provide enhanced protection to the unit.

All ACiQ condensers come pre-charged with enough refrigerant for a 15-foot line set, making installation faster and more convenient. This pre-charged design saves installers time and reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for manual refrigerant charging. It also helps ensure the system starts with the correct amount of refrigerant, minimizing the risk of improper charging that could impact performance and efficiency. If a longer line set is required, your installer will need to add additional refrigerant to maintain optimal operation.


Quiet AC CondenserQuiet AC Condenser

Quiet Comfort

ACiQ has the power to keep things cool when temperatures rise. Every ACiQ condenser uses a scroll compressor for long life and efficiency operation. From entry level to high efficient, single stage, two stage and communicating models, every ACiQ Condenser keeps you cool year after year.


High Efficiency

ACIQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Models ranging from standard efficiency to high efficient models can provide you savings from 21% to 63% over older, 10 SEER condensers. Coil construction is either all aluminum or copper/aluminum (depending on model) for max efficiency.

Customers Say

Across multiple installations, buyers report reliable cooling performance and measurable savings, including maintaining indoor temperatures within 1°F of the thermostat setting, reducing electricity bills by 20% or even cutting them in half, and handling outdoor heat up to 92°F with testing pending at 115°F, with one unit running problem-free for 3 years and another after 4 months. Shipping is often fast and well-coordinated, though some received dented coils, bent fins, incorrect or damaged components replaced within 3 days, missing filter boxes, limited tracking support, and occasional need for added couplings or custom-fabricated parts during installation.

    It did what I wanted it to do it’s okay
    I got into an arguement with my family though when I read 3 ton I assume it was going to be very heavy so I spent money on a specialized tool to pick it up but when it showed up it wasn’t heavy in fact I could carry it myself I don’t like the fact my family argued with me about it but I wished I wasn’t a fool and assumed it was going to be 3 ton who even knows what the hell tonnage mean I just wish there was some kind of bigass bright letters and words saying it’s not actually 3 ton

    It took a hit hard enough to bend the wire grill and fins. The super nice shipping box was untouched . But when the thick corrugated shipping cardboard was removed, there was the dent which seemed to be there before it was shipped. The liquid line was bent (but not kinked) off to the side as well.
    Was I happy about that ? No. But it needed to be put in service and I was glad to find a 410a unit at this point.
    I can't see the dent from my house as they say. But it should have been a "scratch and dent special" in my opinion.

    The AC started right up after finishing the brazing, purge and vacuum. The only minor thing is the 3/8" liquid side needs a coupling brazed on to get a strong connection. I like that a filter drier was included and the build quality was significantly better than the equipment I was ripping out.

Customer Questions
What happens if this breaks down?
HVACDirect.com gives you lifetime tech support. Many common problems can be solved with a phone call to us. HVACDirect.com is an authorized dealer of ACiQ, therefore equipment we sell carries the full manufacturer's warranty. The warranty applies to all parts. You have to register the products online in order to extend the warranty to the full 10 years, otherwise the term is 5 years. If a part fails under warranty, you will not pay anything for the replacement part. Should a part fail under warranty, the first step is to have a professional confirm what part needs to be replaced. Then, contact us at customerservice@hvacdirect.com or by calling and asking for customer service.
What happens if it arrives damaged?
If you are present during drop-off and you see obvious signs of damage or rough handling in transit - please ask the driver to wait while you inspect the equipment. If it is damaged badly enough that you believe it can not function, you have the right to refuse the damaged portion of the shipment. If you discover the damage after the driver has left, take photos of the damage and send them to customerservice@hvacdirect.com. Please refer to your order number in the email. This starts the process and one of our representatives will be in touch with you promptly.
How can I find an installer?
It’s easier than you think – the key is to find an independent contractor or small company as opposed to a larger HVAC service. A one or two person outfit will do the work more quickly and cheaply than a bigger company, too. Yelp.com, Thumbtack.com, and Porch.com are websites are designed to help you connect with a professional in your area. You could also place a call to the last professional who did work on your home and see if they have any recommendations.
Should I order a new lineset?
Our top recommendation – protect your investment by replacing your lineset when you replace your air conditioning. Leftover oil and or contaminants in the old lineset can enter your new system and reduce the lifespan. If, on the other hand, you wish to avoid replacing the lineset, we do carry flush kits to clean out incompatible oils and contaminants.
Who makes ACiQ?
ACiQ air conditioning systems, standard heat pumps, and gas furnaces are manufactured by the largest HVAC manufacturer in America, who also happens to be the seller of the nation’s #1 brand. However, because our prices are SO LOW, they will not allow us to mention their name! They must protect their current market share where typical home systems retail between $15,000 to $25,000 for the identical equipment that we let you buy direct for under $3,000. We offer homeowners and contractors the highest quality and best warranty HVAC systems in the industry at the absolute lowest price. With our industry-leading, high-tech ACiQ equipment, your home and your savings just got a whole lot smarter!
