It does one thing, cooling. It does not heat. It works with an indoor section, a coil on top of an electric furnace or a fan coil, which pushes the cooled air through your ductwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size mostly suits modest bungalows, townhouses and condos that already have ductwork, where a larger unit would short-cycle. The single-stage scroll compressor, housed according to Arcoaire in an extra-thick shell, runs on R-410A. For this size, the manufacturer's spec sheet publishes a range of 14.3 to 16 SEER2: the actual rating depends on the matched indoor section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it fits a Quebec home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany houses in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e are heated by an electric furnace and have never had central air. The N4A5S18AKAWA is added without changing the heating: we install a coil on top of the furnace, connect the two units with the refrigerant piping, and the existing ductwork delivers the cool air to the rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, the demand stays modest. The spec sheet lists a minimum circuit ampacity of 11.4 A and a 20 A maximum time-delay fuse or breaker, at 208\/230 V single phase. On a panel that is already well filled, that detail often keeps the project simple. The unit can also sit well away from the house: the manufacturer allows up to 250 ft of equivalent piping length, following its long-distance guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne point to keep in mind: this is a cooling-only unit. Sold alone, it is not eligible for the LogisVert grant. If you also want to heat with the same system, a central heat pump is the option to compare, and we can present both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat installation by AirGreen covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work.
