{"product_id":"trane-5tam5-air-handler","title":"Trane Hyperion 5TAM5 Multi-Speed Air Handler — 1.5 to 5 Ton, R-454B","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe quiet one, and the reason is the cabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hyperion 5TAM5 is built around a double-walled cabinet: the insulation is sandwiched between two sheets of metal instead of being glued to the inside of one. Two things follow. The insulation never sits in the airstream, so it cannot shed fibres into the air you breathe or degrade over fifteen years of airflow across its face. And a double wall is far stiffer than a single one, so less blower noise radiates out of the box — which is why this is the handler to specify when the air handler lives in a closet off a bedroom or hallway rather than out in a garage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt raises the efficiency of the condenser you already chose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the part buyers underestimate. SEER2 belongs to the certified pair, and the indoor half moves the number substantially. The same 5TTR6 condenser certifies around 15.2 SEER2 behind the 5TEM4 handler and as high as 17 SEER2 behind this one. That is the same outdoor unit, the same refrigerant, the same installation — a different indoor coil and blower. If you are weighing a more efficient condenser against a better air handler, price both paths before deciding, because upgrading the handler is often the cheaper route to the same certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Vortica blower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA multi-speed blower that can hold a long, low airflow rather than cycling hard. Longer run times at lower speed remove more humidity per hour of operation, and in the Southeast the difference between 55% and 45% indoor relative humidity is felt more than a degree or two of temperature. It is also gentler on ductwork that was never sized generously in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.5 to 5 ton, pairing with Trane 5TTR and 5TWR condensers, on R-454B. Which condenser you put it with sets the certified efficiency, so read the AHRI reference number for your exact combination rather than assuming the handler alone determines it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakes the Trane BAYHTR electric heat kit for supplemental or backup heat, sized in kilowatts and sold separately. Required on a heat pump, optional on a cooling-only system, and routinely left off orders — have your installer specify the rating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trane","offers":[{"title":"1.5 – 2 Ton (5TAM5B01AC21S)","offer_id":49310249976067,"sku":"5TAM5B01AC21S","price":2715.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 – 2 Ton (5TAM5B02AC21S)","offer_id":49310250008835,"sku":"5TAM5B02AC21S","price":2815.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 – 3 Ton (5TAM5C03AC21S)","offer_id":49310250041603,"sku":"5TAM5C03AC21S","price":2920.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 – 3 Ton (5TAM5C04AC31S)","offer_id":49310250074371,"sku":"5TAM5C04AC31S","price":3020.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 – 4 Ton","offer_id":49310250107139,"sku":"5TAM5D05AC31S","price":3205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 – 5 Ton","offer_id":49310250139907,"sku":"5TAM5D06AC41S","price":3390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 – 5 Ton","offer_id":49310250172675,"sku":"5TAM5D07AC51S","price":3740.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3278\/5667\/files\/hf_20260829_204632_40181147-b94d-4468-ab27-7aba9b506e34.png?v=1788036508","url":"https:\/\/hvacsupplypro.com\/products\/trane-5tam5-air-handler","provider":"HVAC Supply Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
