{"product_id":"trane-air-handler-5tem4","title":"Trane 5TEM4 Air Handler — 1.5 to 5 Ton, Convertible Multi-Position, R-454B","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTrane's workhorse indoor half\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5TEM4 is the air handler most Trane split systems in this catalog are built around. It is the convertible, multi-position cabinet that pairs with the 5TTR and 5TWR condensers, and it is the match behind most of the certified ratings you will see on our complete systems. If you are buying a Trane condenser and have no specific reason to choose otherwise, this is the handler that goes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ECM blower changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ECM blower is an electronically commutated motor, and the practical difference is that it can run at part speed instead of only full speed. Two consequences you will notice: it draws substantially fewer watts across a season than an old PSC motor, because fan power falls faster than fan speed does; and it can hold a long, low airflow that strips humidity out of the house instead of short-cycling. In a climate where the discomfort is moisture rather than heat, that second point is the one that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConvertible, so the building decides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpflow, downflow and horizontal from one cabinet, configured at installation. An attic install goes horizontal, a closet goes upflow, and neither requires a different part number. The cabinet is insulated and factory-sealed, which keeps conditioned air inside the box rather than losing it into an unconditioned attic before it reaches a register.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt sets your efficiency, not the condenser\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSEER2 is a property of the certified pair. The same 5TTR6 condenser certifies at different numbers depending on which indoor unit is behind it — around 15.2 SEER2 with this handler, and higher with the Hyperion 5TAM5. Neither is wrong; they are different systems. Read the AHRI reference number for the exact combination rather than the headline figure on any one component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat kit sold separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a heat pump, or for auxiliary heat on a cooling-only system, the electric heat kit installs in this cabinet and is sized in kilowatts. It is listed in our accessories and is the item most often left off an order. Your installer should specify the rating for your house and climate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trane","offers":[{"title":"1.5 – 2 Ton","offer_id":49310249779459,"sku":"5TEM4B02","price":1920.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 – 2.5 Ton","offer_id":49310249812227,"sku":"5TEM4B03","price":2040.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 – 3 Ton","offer_id":49310249844995,"sku":"5TEM4B04","price":2160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 – 4 Ton (5TEM4D05)","offer_id":49310249877763,"sku":"5TEM4D05","price":2275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 – 4 Ton (5TEM4D06)","offer_id":49310249910531,"sku":"5TEM4D06","price":2395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 – 5 Ton","offer_id":49310249943299,"sku":"5TEM4D07","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3278\/5667\/files\/hf_20260829_200153_fb5bf4ec-7241-4d16-aacb-e0e0c1964709.png?v=1788034396","url":"https:\/\/hvacsupplypro.com\/products\/trane-air-handler-5tem4","provider":"HVAC Supply Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
