ARCOAIRE EVD4X24M17A “V” Evaporator Coil | 2 Tons

Add central air conditioning to your 17-1/2 in electric furnace

The Arcoaire EVD4X24M17A evaporator coil is the part that lets an electric furnace blow cool air. Installed in the ductwork, against the furnace, it receives refrigerant from the outdoor air conditioner and cools the air the blower then sends to every room. This 2-ton R-410A model comes with its insulated cabinet and a factory-installed thermostatic expansion valve. We install it in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore.

A small size designed for homes with a single furnace

The 2-ton size targets modest homes where all the ductwork starts from one furnace: a bungalow, a townhouse, a plex unit with its own system. We always confirm the size during the estimate, based on the house and the planned air conditioner. Arcoaire built this coil on its Power-V principle: the headers are grouped at the top, and the manufacturer states that this layout delivers the same or better SEER without having to move up to a larger coil. The microchannel coil is all aluminum, a material that resists corrosion, and condensate drains into a PBT pan.

How it fits a Quebec home

In many homes here, heat comes from an electric furnace in the basement, and summer is spent with window air conditioners. This coil lets you keep the furnace and its ductwork, then add a central air conditioner. The flush fit is designed for a 17-1/2 in wide furnace: the coil cabinet lines up with the furnace cabinet, with no overhang. The coil installs vertically, upflow when the furnace blows upward, or downflow when it blows downward.

Two points to keep in mind before choosing. First, Arcoaire limits this model to air conditioning: it cannot be paired with a heat pump. If you want to heat with the outdoor unit, we will steer you toward a complete central heat pump. Second, sold alone, it does not qualify for the LogisVert grant. This model is available while supplies last.

What AirGreen’s installation covers

AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years. Our refrigeration, ventilation and electrical work is done under our RBQ licence 5645-9605-01. For this coil, the installation includes:

• measuring the furnace and checking the outdoor air conditioner, which must use R-410A;
• setting the coil in the plenum and sealing the duct connections;
• connecting the 3/8 in (liquid) and 3/4 in (suction) lines, followed by a leak test and evacuation;
• connecting the condensate drain;
• commissioning, including setting the blower speed within the 600 to 1,000 CFM range published by the manufacturer.

On the warranty side, Arcoaire publishes a 10-year parts limited warranty when the unit is registered on time, and 5 years if it is not registered within 90 days of installation. We give you the information needed to register.
