The tonnage rating directly correlates to your cooling needs. A 1.5-ton unit effectively handles smaller spaces like apartments or single zones, typically covering areas up to 600-900 square feet. For larger applications, 2.0 and 2.5-ton models provide increased cooling capacity while maintaining the compact footprint essential for residential installations.
Each unit operates on standard 208-230V single-phase electrical systems, making them compatible with typical residential power configurations. The scroll compressor technology provides reliable operation with sound levels ranging from 71-74 dB(A), ensuring reasonable noise levels for outdoor installation.
If you're specifically looking at mid-range capacity options, our dedicated 2 Ton Condensing Units collection provides focused selection for this popular size category.
Our condensers feature SEER2 ratings between 13.4 and 14.3, meeting current regulatory efficiency standards while keeping initial costs reasonable. Higher SEER2 ratings translate to lower monthly utility bills, which is particularly important during peak cooling seasons.
The R454B refrigerant specification represents current industry standards for environmental compliance. When paired with compatible indoor coils or air handlers, these systems provide dependable cooling performance throughout their service life.
These compact systems join our broader selection of Outdoor Condensing Units, designed specifically for exterior installation and weather resistance.
These condensing units require professional installation and must be matched with appropriate indoor components. The single-stage operation integrates straightforward control effectively with standard residential thermostats and zone control systems.
Key specifications include:
Your selection should balance cooling requirements with efficiency preferences and budget considerations. The 13.4 SEER2 models offer entry-level pricing for cost-conscious installations, while 14.3 SEER2 units provide enhanced efficiency for long-term savings.
Professional sizing calculations consider factors including square footage, insulation levels, window placement, and local climate conditions. Proper sizing ensures optimal performance and prevents short cycling that reduces system lifespan.
