ARCOAIRE N4A5S Performance Central Air Conditioner | 5 Tons - 60000 BTU - R410A

Five tons of central air, when the house truly calls for it

The largest size in the N4A5S series

The N4A5S60AKAWA is the 5-ton (60,000 BTU/h) outdoor unit of the Arcoaire Performance N4A5S series, its largest size. It targets very large houses cooled through a single duct system: multi-storey properties, houses with extensive glazing, homes where a smaller unit is already not enough. It runs on R-410A, with a single-stage scroll compressor, and it cools only.

Before talking about 5 tons, we check that it is the right choice. An oversized air conditioner cools quickly, shuts off right away and dehumidifies poorly; the house becomes cool but clammy. During the estimate, we look at insulation, window orientation and duct capacity before confirming the size. In some very spread-out houses, two smaller systems, one per floor, give better comfort than a single unit: if that is your case, we will tell you.

The manufacturer's data for this size

Arcoaire publishes a range of 13.8 to 15 SEER2 for this size, depending on the matched indoor section; the condensing unit alone has no certified rating, and the capacity tables use the EVD4X61M24A section. Sound power is 75 dBA, or 73 dBA with sound shield.

For the electrical side, it needs a 208/230 V single-phase circuit: 33.4 A minimum ampacity and a 50 A maximum time-delay fuse or breaker. On the refrigerant side, the unit ships with 10.10 lb (4.58 kg) of R-410A, a charge set for 15 ft of piping, which our technicians then adjust to the actual length.

This condensing unit does not heat. Sold alone, it is not eligible for the LogisVert grant. For a house this size, a central heat pump that heats and cools is often worth comparing; we can present both.

What our installation includes

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years, holding RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 in ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work.

1. Free on-site estimate and confirmation of the size;
2. Written quote specifying the matched indoor section and the electrical circuit;
3. Setting the outdoor unit, installing the indoor section;
4. Refrigerant piping with a 7/8 in vapor valve, evacuation, charge adjustment;
5. Electrical connection, commissioning and an airflow check at the registers.

The manufacturer allows up to 250 ft of equivalent piping length and 200 ft of actual length, which leaves latitude to place the unit away from a deck or a bedroom. We work in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore.
