ARCOAIRE N4A5S Performance Central Air Conditioner | 2.5 Tons - 30000 BTU - R410A

Cool upstairs bedrooms, with a 2.5-ton central air conditioner

For the house where the upper floor gets stuffy

In many two-storey houses in Laval and on the North Shore, the ground floor stays bearable in summer, but the upstairs bedrooms hold the heat until evening. One window unit per bedroom takes up space, blocks the view and makes noise at night. If the house already has ductwork, central air settles the question for the whole floor at once.

The N4A5S30AKAWA is the 2.5-ton (30,000 BTU/h) outdoor unit of the Arcoaire Performance N4A5S series. It runs on R-410A with a single-stage scroll compressor. It cools only: heating stays with your electric furnace or current system.

One detail often makes the difference upstairs: the return air. If the upstairs bedrooms have no return, the cool air circulates poorly and the heat stays trapped under the roof. We check it during the estimate and tell you frankly whether adjusting the ducts is worth it before installing the new unit.

What the manufacturer publishes for this size

Arcoaire gives a range of 14.3 to 16 SEER2 depending on the matched indoor unit. The condensing unit alone has no certified rating, and its capacity tables are built with the EVD4X30M17A indoor section. On noise, the spec sheet publishes a sound power of 73 dBA, or 72 dBA with sound shield.

For the electrical panel, plan a 208/230 V single-phase circuit: 15.2 A minimum ampacity and a 25 A maximum time-delay fuse or breaker. Sold alone, the unit is not eligible for the LogisVert grant; if heating with the same system interests you, ask us for a central heat pump proposal as well.

How we install a central air conditioner

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years. We hold RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work, which lets the same team handle both the refrigerant and the electrical connections.

1. Free on-site estimate: size, duct condition, location of the unit and the coil;
2. Written quote that specifies the matched indoor section;
3. Setting the outdoor unit, installing the coil or the fan coil;
4. Refrigerant piping, evacuation, charge adjusted to the actual length;
5. Electrical connection, commissioning and a walk-through of the thermostat settings.

The manufacturer allows up to 250 ft of equivalent piping length, with an elevation difference of no more than 80 ft when the indoor section is higher than the outdoor unit. For a unit on the ground and a coil in the basement, those limits leave plenty of latitude. We install in Montreal, Longueuil, on the South Shore and across Greater Montreal.
