Overview

About this system

A complete cooling system built on the RunTru A5AC4 condenser and its matched A5AHC air handler. RunTru is designed, built and tested by Trane, sold under a badge that doesn't carry the Trane price — which is why this configuration shows up in rentals, flips and builder jobs more than any other system we sell.

What ships

  • Outdoor unit — RunTru A5AC4 condenser, 14.3 SEER2, single-stage, R-454B refrigerant
  • Indoor unit — RunTru A5AHC air handler, multi-position, insulated factory-sealed cabinet
  • Both units crated and shipped together as an AHRI-matched pair

Why single-stage still makes sense

A single-stage condenser runs at one speed: on, or off. There is less to go wrong, any technician in the country can service it, and the install is the cheapest of any configuration. At 14.3 SEER2 it meets the current federal minimum for the southern region without paying for efficiency you may not recover on a property you don't intend to keep.

All-aluminum coils resist the corrosion that eats copper-and-aluminum coils in coastal and high-humidity air, and the heavy-gauge powder-coated steel cabinet is built for permanent outdoor exposure.

Sizing — 1.5 to 5 ton

Available in seven capacities. We will not size a system from square footage and we would be doing you a disservice if we tried — get a Manual J load calculation from a contractor who has walked the property. Send us the model numbers you have been quoted and we will confirm whether they are a certified match.

Before you order

  • Must be installed by a licensed HVAC professional — opening refrigerant lines requires EPA certification, and improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty
  • Line set, disconnect, whip, thermostat and equipment pad are not included
  • Need supplemental electric heat? The BAYHTR electric heat kit fits the A5AHC air handler
  • Register within 60 days of installation to extend parts coverage from 5 years to 10 — see our warranty page

The brand

Why RunTru by Trane?

See everything we carry from RunTru by Trane

RunTru is Trane's value line. On a complete system you are buying the pairing as much as the parts — the condenser and the air handler certified together.

  • Same manufacturer, same engineering discipline. RunTru is not a rebadged import — it is Trane's own product, built to Trane's standards. The badge is different; the build is not.
  • The pair is what gets rated, not the condenser. AHRI certifies an outdoor unit against one specific air handler. The reference number on this listing is for that exact combination — which is also the number a rebate administrator or a permit office asks for.
  • The A5AHC is multi-position. One air handler part number installs upright or horizontal, so the certified pairing does not have to change because of the space you have to put it in.
  • All-aluminum coils. These resist the galvanic corrosion that eats copper-and-aluminum coils in coastal and high-humidity air — a real advantage in exactly the climates this equipment sells into.
  • The same warranty structure as Trane. Five years base on parts, ten with registration inside 60 days. The value line does not mean a value warranty.

This is the certified rating for this exact pair — A5AC4042B1000A with A5AHC006A1D30A. A matched pair rates differently from either unit on its own, and this is the number your installer puts on a permit or a rebate application.

How buying direct works — the whole process, start to finish 6 steps

You are buying the equipment from us and the labour from an installer you choose. Two numbers instead of one bundled quote — which is the point, but it does mean you are the one connecting them. Here is the whole sequence.

  1. Order the equipment. The price on this page is what you pay us. Nothing about installation is included in it, and nothing is added later.
  2. Line up your installer before it ships. This is the step people skip, and it is the one that causes trouble — equipment sitting in a garage while you ring round for someone free. You need a licensed HVAC professional; opening a refrigerant circuit requires EPA certification. Ask specifically what they charge to install customer-supplied equipment. How to find one.
  3. It ships crated on a freight truck. Orders typically ship within 3–7 business days. A complete system travels as two crates — condenser and air handler — which can arrive on different days. Delivery is to your address on a liftgate truck for one flat price, with nothing to choose at checkout. What delivery costs.
  4. The carrier calls to book a delivery window. That appointment is when your equipment arrives — not the ship date. Answer the call; an unanswered one is the most common cause of a delay.
  5. Inspect it before you sign. Two minutes at the tail of the truck decide whether a damage claim works. Note any damage on the delivery receipt specifically, not just "damaged", and photograph it before it comes off the truck. What to check.
  6. Your installer fits it, then register the warranty. Line set, disconnect, whip, thermostat and equipment pad are not included — your installer supplies those. Registering within 60 days of installation takes about four minutes and extends parts coverage from five years to ten. Warranty terms.
