Replace Your AC Without Replacing Your Whole System

This ACiQ R410A inverter air conditioner condenser is a smart choice for homeowners who need a compatible replacement for an existing R410A central cooling setup. If your indoor coil and furnace are still usable and properly matched, replacing the outdoor condenser can help restore cooling without requiring a full HVAC system replacement. It is a cooling-only condenser and may fit homes with compatible furnace and evaporator coil setups.

Key Benefits

  • R410A Compatible Replacement – A smart option for replacing the outdoor condenser in an existing compatible R410A cooling system.
  • Limited Availability Option – A good choice while R410A replacement equipment is still available.
  • Sized for Small to Medium Homes – 2.5 ton cooling capacity for approximately 1,300–1,600 sq. ft. homes.
  • 15.2 SEER Cooling Efficiency – Provides dependable cooling performance for compatible central air installations.
  • Inverter Cooling Performance – Variable-output 2.5 ton (30,000 BTU) inverter performance; can go down to 1 Ton (12,000 BTU) based on demand and weather conditions.

Cooling Capacity for Small to Medium Homes

With 2.5 tons of cooling capacity, this condenser is commonly used for homes approximately 1,300–1,600 sq. ft. in various climates. Actual sizing depends on your local climate, insulation, windows, ceiling height, air leakage, home layout, and a professional sizing review.

Good Replacement Option for R410A Systems

This condenser is a practical choice when your existing indoor coil or evaporator coil is still compatible with R410A equipment. For many homeowners, replacing the outdoor condenser can extend the life of their current setup and avoid the added cost of converting the entire system to newer refrigerant equipment.

Limited R410A Availability

R410A condensers are becoming more limited as new equipment transitions to updated refrigerants. If your system requires an R410A-compatible replacement, this unit can help keep your existing setup operational while inventory is still available.


Repair or Replace?  See Which Option Is Best For You

Should you repair or replace your HVAC system? The right choice depends on factors such as the system’s age, overall condition, repair cost, and refrigerant type. Repairing an older system may be the more affordable option today, especially when the rest of the equipment is still in good shape.

However, if another major component fails later, replacing the system could become more expensive than upgrading both components together now.

This video explains how to weigh the immediate cost of repair against the potential long-term value of replacement.


Warranty

This condenser includes a 12-Year Compressor Warranty and 7-Year Parts Warranty with online registration. Installation must follow state and local codes, and warranty coverage may be void if the unit is not installed by a qualified professional.

What’s Included

  • ACiQ Inverter Air Conditioner Condenser – Outdoor cooling-only condenser for compatible R410A split-system applications.

Recommended Accessories

  • Line Set – Connects the outdoor condenser to compatible indoor equipment for refrigerant flow.
  • Condenser Installation Kit – Provides key installation materials for a cleaner condenser setup.
  • Mounting Options – Choose the mounting option that fits the installation location.
  • Thermostat – Select a compatible thermostat option to support system control.

Requirements & Considerations

  • Compatible Indoor Equipment Required – This cooling-only condenser must be paired with compatible R410A indoor equipment.
  • Line Set Selection – Use the line set option and connection sizing shown on the live product page or confirmed by installation guidance.
  • Refrigerant Charge – Pre-charged with R410A refrigerant for up to 25' of line set.
  • Electrical Requirements – Requires a 208 / 230 V, 1 Phase, 60 Hz electrical supply. Requires a 40 Amp max breaker and 24 Amp minimum breaker size.
  • Professional Installation Recommended – Proper installation, system matching, and refrigerant handling are important for safe operation and warranty coverage.

Customers Say

Buyers report quiet operation, lower energy use, and noticeable savings, including one homeowner saving $150 per month on electricity and another stating a 3-ton unit runs ten times quieter and uses half the electricity of their previous 2-ton system, with a 3 Ton 18 SEER inverter heat pump in Iowa saving hundreds on heating in negative temperatures. Installation is often completed by homeowners in about three hours or described as going in smoothly, though some encountered startup or thermostat controller issues, minor shipping dents, or missing line set components that were resolved with technical support.

    My a/c quit last fall. After some research I decided to do a full replacement of both units. After placing my order there were some out of stock issues. Nicholas was great in helping me get substitutions for my order. There were also some concerns about the delivery. He was great in coordinating the day and delivery time. Thanks again for great service !!

    I installed this unit last weekend along with a matching coil during a heat wave. It performed perfectly. I like the 2 stage function. It drops to the 1st stage when it reaches thermostat set temp and maintains house temp using less energy. I hope this unit performs for years to come, but so far I am very happy especially the price I purchased it for.

    Only time will tell when it comes to long term reliability but I have confidence I'll not need to make any claims during the 12 year warranty period.
    Happy to be an HVAC Direct customer.

    PS. Don't trust other shady sellers whose tag line is "At these prices our air conditioners won't last" 8-)

    I received our ACiQ Condenser & compressor within 7 days of order. Minor issue with a dent in 1 corner of the condenser unit without affecting the performance. I would recommend HVAC Direct to anyone seeking quality products, excellent service, knowledgeable employees, rapid delivery and great pricing.

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.
I'm setting this unit up for cooling only with 24v wiring and I was unsure about one of the dip switch settings. Should S1-3 be on or off?
For the ACiQ ACIQ-30-AC air handler configured for cooling-only with 24V controls, the S1-3 dip switch should be set to OFF, as this setting is typically used to disable heating-related control logic and ensure the board operates strictly in cooling mode with a conventional thermostat. If you have any further questions, please call us and we will be happy to assist you.
