{"product_id":"runtru-a5ac5-15-2-seer2-ac","title":"RunTru A5AC5 Air Conditioner Condenser — 1.5 to 5 Ton, 15.2 SEER2, R-454B","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe same platform, with the efficiency step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A5AC5 is the A5AC4's Trane-built platform with more coil surface and a higher-efficiency compressor. Certified between 15 and 16 SEER2 depending on tonnage when it is matched with the A5AHC air handler — the exact figure belongs to your specific pairing, and the AHRI reference number is published on every listing here so you can read it rather than take our word for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho should pay for the step up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you live in the house and pay the cooling bill, this is the one to buy. Through a Florida or Texas cooling season, moving from 14.3 to roughly 15.5 SEER2 is a measurable reduction on the largest electrical load in the building, recovered over a service life counted in a decade or more. If the property is a rental and the tenant pays the power, the A5AC4 is the more rational purchase and we would rather tell you that than sell you the more expensive box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRebates change the arithmetic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatches at this efficiency level can reach ENERGY STAR qualification, which is the threshold most utility rebate programs use. Check it before you buy: a rebate on the efficient unit can close much of the price gap with the minimum-efficiency one, which changes which unit is actually cheaper. Programs are administered by your utility and change annually — our rebate guide explains where to look them up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore efficiency, not more complexity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR-454B refrigerant, a single-stage compressor, all-aluminum coils, no inverter electronics. The efficiency here comes from the physical size of the heat exchanger and the quality of the compressor rather than from variable-speed control, which means there is no additional circuit board to fail in year nine. That matters for a system you intend to keep and have serviced by whoever is available on a July afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching it correctly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs with the RunTru A5AHC. Because the rating belongs to the certified pair, buy the combination that appears on the AHRI certificate — a mismatched indoor coil is the most common reason a new system underperforms its label. The complete system is also listed as one item if you would rather not match it yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RunTru by Trane","offers":[{"title":"1.5 Ton","offer_id":49310247682307,"sku":"A5AC5018A1000A","price":1984.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Ton","offer_id":49310247715075,"sku":"A5AC5024A1000A","price":2390.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 Ton","offer_id":49310247747843,"sku":"A5AC5030A1000A","price":2558.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Ton","offer_id":49310247780611,"sku":"A5AC5036A1000A","price":2729.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 Ton","offer_id":49310247813379,"sku":"A5AC5042A1000A","price":2944.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Ton","offer_id":49310247846147,"sku":"A5AC5048A1000A","price":3151.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Ton","offer_id":49310247878915,"sku":"A5AC5060A1000A","price":3575.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3278\/5667\/files\/runtru-condenser_eaa0f02e-0fc7-4b28-ba24-0943df2c364a.jpg?v=1784771673","url":"https:\/\/hvacsupplypro.com\/products\/runtru-a5ac5-15-2-seer2-ac","provider":"HVAC Supply Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
