Product Details
OVERVIEW
The ACIQ R5A5S36AKAWA is a standard AC-only condenser. Designed with comfort in mind and an inexpensive but higher-than-standard efficiency option for nearly any application, this condenser is considered a good all-around option for almost any application.
QUICK FACTS
- Factory pre-charged with enough refrigerant for a 15-foot line set, ensuring proper performance and efficiency right out of the box.
- 3 Ton 14.3 SEER2 ACIQ Air Conditioner Condenser
- Can cool up to a medium size house in average conditions
- Single stage compressor
- Pre-charged with R454B refrigerant
- Filter drier included to be field-installed
3 Tons
The ACIQ R5A5S36AKAWA air conditioner condenser has an output of 3 tons, generally enough to cool up to a medium size house in ideal climates. In many system configurations, the tonnage of the unit's paired coil or air handler will be larger in tonnage than this condenser, which maintains the efficiency of the unit. Please note that this condenser cannot function or provide any sort of heating on its own, and it needs an indoor coil or air handler to work. If you have any questions, please contact us.
14.3 SEER2
The ACIQ R5A5S36AKAWA air conditioner condenser is rated at 14.3 SEER2, making it between 5-7% more efficient than standard 13.4 SEER2 units, saving you money in electric bills over the entire lifetime of your unit.
Warranty
ACIQ offers a 10 year parts warranty on this condenser. For these warranties to be upheld, the unit must be installed following your state and local codes, a new and certified coil must be installed at the same time, and the entire system must be registered online through the manufacturer.
Durability
The cabinet of ACIQ units are extremely durable. On the R5A5S36AKAWA, there are reinforced corner posts and the internals of the unit are protected by an additional inlet grille, all to provide enhanced protection to the unit.
Disclaimer: This condenser contains R454B refrigerant, which is classified as an A2L refrigerant. To comply with safety standards, this unit must be paired with an R454B air handler or evaporator coil equipped with a leakage detection system. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in safety hazards and could void the warranty. Please call us at 1-888-557-9206 if you have any questions.
All ACIQ condensers come pre-charged with enough refrigerant for a 15-foot line set, making installation faster and more convenient. This pre-charged design saves installers time and reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for manual refrigerant charging. It also helps ensure the system starts with the correct amount of refrigerant, minimizing the risk of improper charging that could impact performance and efficiency. If a longer line set is required, your installer will need to add additional refrigerant to maintain optimal operation.

Quiet Comfort
ACiQ has the power to keep things cool when temperatures rise. Every ACiQ condenser uses a scroll compressor for long life and efficiency operation. From entry level to high efficient, single stage, two stage and communicating models, every ACiQ Condenser keeps you cool year after year.
High Efficiency
ACIQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Models ranging from standard efficiency to high efficient models can provide you savings from 21% to 63% over older, 10 SEER condensers. Coil construction is either all aluminum or copper/aluminum (depending on model) for max efficiency.


Longer life, longer warranty
ACiQ condensers are 100% run-tested at the factory. Protective coatings on the fins mean long life even in harsh conditions. A filter drier is included to keep the system healthy. ACiQ’s extended warranty with online registration provides 10 year protection.
ACIQ patent-pending multipoise evaporator coil with Power-V technology features a V-shape coil design provides excellent heat transfer over the coil needed to keep your system operating at peak energy efficiency and delivering consistent comfort.
Features
- Cased V coil design for efficient heat transfer in a compact size.
- Efficiency-optimizing Thermostatic Expansion Valve(TXV) metering device.
- Corrosion-resistant all-aluminum coil.
- Fully insulated cabinet.
- 10-year parts limited warranty upon registration.
- Corrosion-resistant drain pan is designed in a Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) material that offers unsurpassed pan strength.
The V-coil design has a lighter, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction that increases system efficiency and durability. The all-aluminum recyclable coils supports our respect for the environment while providing durable and lasting resistance to multiple sources of corrosion.
The multipoise design allows the flexibility for the coil to be installed in multiple orientations, including upflow, downflow and horizontal applications.
ACIQ's V-coils with Power-V Technology features a variety of design improvements that allow for improved installation and serviceability by your HVAC technician.
OVERVIEW
Designed to be a high-efficiency furnace, the ACiQ N96MSN1002120A is a money saving unit to provide heating throughout even the coldest months of the year. With its multi-positional design, this unit is a good all-around choice for nearly any application.
QUICK FACTS
- 100,000 BTU, 96% AFUE natural gas furnace
- Generally suitable for up to a medium to large house in ideal applications
- Multi-positional design can be installed in the upflow, downflow, or horizontal orientations
- Single stage burner with a multi-speed blower
- Field-convertible to propane with an optional LP kit
- On board self-diagnostics
- Energy Star certified
100,000 BTU, 96% AFUE
The ACiQ N96MSN1002120A has an input of 100,000 BTU. With an efficiency of 96%, this means that the furnace has an output of 96,000 BTU. The 96% AFUE also means that for the gas going into the furnace, 96% of it is used to heat your home while only 4% is lost out of the flue piping and lost to normal furnace operations. All furnaces at this efficiency (90% and above) requires plastic/PVC flue venting, and if metal flue venting is required for your installation, an 80% efficient furnace would be needed instead. While this unit uses natural gas as fuel out of the box, we also have an LP conversion kit, available at an additional cost. Please note that this furnace is not Ultra Low NOx compliant and if shipped to California may be subject to a mitigation fee.
Warranty
ACiQ offers 10 year parts warranty and lifetime (20 year) heat exchanger limited warranty. Please note that in order for these warranties to be upheld, installation following your state and local codes are required, along with timely registration through the manufacturer.
Installation and Durability
With its ability to be installed in any configuration, upflow, downflow, or horizontal, the ACiQ N96MSN1002120A is very versatile in application potential. The unit has a durable outer casing that can withstand wear-and-tear through its entire lifetime, providing the peace of mind that your home will stay comfortable year-round. Please note that this furnace is not intended for use in a mobile home on its own.

Quiet Comfort
Every ACiQ furnace is designed to keep your family warm and comfortable year after year. Whisper-quiet ECM blower fans, solid construction with thicker sheet metal and
more cabinet insulation give you near-silent operation. From entry level to top-of-the-line, your comfort is the priority.
High Efficiency
ACiQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Multi-speed or Variable Speed ECM blowers come in every furnace. Adding options such as high-efficiency secondary heat exchangers, two stage heating, modulating burners and variable blowers all can further reduce your energy bills while increasing comfort.


Longer life, longer warranty
Thicker sheet metal, more cabinet insulation and aluminized steel heat exchangers reflect the highest build quality you can get. Every furnace is backed by ACiQ’s 10 year, 20 year or lifetime (depending on model) heat exchanger extended warranty with online registration.
