Friedrich FRA13NY36AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 3 Ton 13 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRA13NY36AJ1NALHP is a single-stage residential condensing unit rated at 36,000 BTU/h (3 nominal tons) with a 13 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A that meets current environmental regulations. This outdoor unit houses the compressor, condenser coil, and fan, rejecting heat from the refrigerant circuit to the outside air. It is paired with a compatible indoor evaporator coil and air handler or furnace to complete a split-system cooling installation. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and refrigerant work for this type of equipment.

This condensing unit is suited for residential split-system cooling applications requiring 3 tons of capacity. Its single-stage operation delivers consistent cooling output at full capacity, making it appropriate for homes where a straightforward, reliable cooling solution is needed. Installations typically involve setting the unit on a level pad, connecting refrigerant line sets, and integrating with an existing or new indoor coil. System performance depends on proper matching with a rated indoor coil assembly.

Key Features

• 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity at 3 nominal tons
• 13 SEER2 rated efficiency meets current minimum efficiency standards
• R454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential than R-410A, regulatory-compliant
• Single-stage operation for straightforward, reliable cooling output
• Outdoor condensing unit configuration for split-system installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style outdoor condensing unit for residential split-system air conditioning applications. Requires a compatible matched indoor evaporator coil rated for use with R454B refrigerant to achieve published SEER2 efficiency. Consult manufacturer documentation for approved coil pairings.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician due to the refrigerant handling requirements of R454B. Power down the electrical disconnect and confirm zero voltage before making any electrical connections. The unit should be mounted on a stable, level concrete pad or approved equipment support to prevent vibration and ensure proper condensate drainage. Follow all local mechanical codes and manufacturer specifications for line set sizing, refrigerant charge procedures, and clearance requirements.
