What We Need From You
The questions to answer are the same standard questions you may be asked by a contractor. Please note that not every combination may be available. All systems are multi-positional and utilize R32 refrigerant. The included condenser will be the lowest SEER2-rated model that complies with state regulations unless you specify a higher SEER2 rating in the Condenser Upgrades section. If there are any issues with the selections you have provided, we will reach out to you to ensure that the system you receive is suitable for your home. For more information on each question, please see below:
Condenser Tonnage
An AC condenser's tonnage is a measure of how much warm or cool air it can produce. Tonnage scales upward with house sizes, with 3 ton being the typical size for most houses. Please note that other factors may affect the ideal tonnage your house needs.
- 1.5 and 2 Ton - Ideal for small houses
- 2.5 Ton - Ideal for small to medium-sized houses
- 3 and 3.5 Ton - Ideal for medium-sized houses
- 4 Ton - Ideal for medium to large houses
- 5 Ton - Ideal for large houses
Air Handler Cabinet Width
Modern air handlers have a standardized cabinet width of either 14", 17.5", 21", and 24.5". Simply measure the width of the face of your current air handler to determine what width you need. Note: 14" wide air handlers are uncommon for most air conditioning system configurations. If your setup requires a 14" wide air handler, please give us a call and our team will help you out.
Electric Heat Options
Supplemental electric heat kits are an optional add-on for the system's air handler. They provide an ideal source of heat for areas where the temperature rarely drops low. If you live in an area where cold temperatures are a slight possibility, consider purchasing a heat kit with your system.
- 5 Kilowatts - Produces 16,200 BTUs of heat.
- 8 Kilowatts - Produces 23,800 BTUs of heat.
- 10 Kilowatts - Produces 34,100 BTUs of heat.
- 15 Kilowatts - Produces 51,150 BTUs of heat.
- 19 and 20 Kilowatts - Produces 64,800 and 68,200 BTUs of heat, respectively. The 19kW kit is used in air handlers that are incompatible with the 20kW model. Please note that these kits are incompatible with 1.5 - 2.5 ton options.
Condenser Upgrades
These options are not mandatory for any specific type of home. They are provided for those that want greater efficiency and more precise control over their AC system.
- 15.2 SEER2 Upgrade - A 15.2 SEER2 condenser will provide you with improved energy savings over the 13.4 or 14.3 SEER2 condenser (state regulations pending) provided by default.
- 17 SEER2 Upgrade with Variable Speed - Choosing this option will not only provide you with the highest SEER2-rated traditional air conditioning condenser that comes with two-stage functionality, but you will also receive a variable speed air handler as well. This option is only available for 2, 3, 4, and 5 ton systems. Please be sure to select the correct tonnage when choosing this upgrade.
