Carrier N5A5S24AKAWA 15 SEER2 Single Stage Ac R454B

Product Description

The CARRIER N5A5S24AKAWA is a single-stage residential central air conditioner rated at 15 SEER2 efficiency and designed to operate on R454B refrigerant, the low-GWP replacement refrigerant now required under current EPA regulations. This condensing unit connects to a matched indoor coil and air handler to deliver cooling across a standard split-system installation. Licensed HVAC technicians install and service this unit. The 15 SEER2 rating meets current federal minimum efficiency standards for split-system air conditioners, making it a code-compliant choice for new installations and like-for-like replacements in applicable climate regions.

This unit is suited for residential split-system cooling applications where a single-stage condensing unit is specified. Single-stage operation delivers reliable full-capacity cooling and pairs well with standard single-stage or compatible thermostats. The unit ships at 171 pounds and has a footprint appropriate for standard pad or bracket mounting alongside a residential structure. HVAC contractors performing new construction installs or retrofit replacements will find this unit consistent with typical residential equipment practices.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician due to the R454B refrigerant charge. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the disconnect box before making any electrical or refrigerant connections. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes, including applicable sections of the NEC, when routing line sets and low-voltage control wiring. Do not mix R454B with any other refrigerant and verify that all service equipment and recovery cylinders are rated and labeled for use with A2L refrigerants.
