Friedrich FRA14AY36AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 3 Ton 14 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRA14AY36AJ1NALHP is a single-stage residential condensing unit rated at 36,000 BTU/h (3 nominal tons) with a 14 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A that meets current regulatory requirements. This outdoor condensing unit pairs with a compatible indoor air handler or coil to complete a split cooling system. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this equipment as part of a matched system installation.

This condensing unit is suited for residential cooling applications where a 3-ton, single-stage split system is specified. Single-stage operation provides straightforward, reliable cooling without variable-speed staging complexity, making it a practical choice for standard load calculations in homes and light commercial spaces. Because this unit uses R454B refrigerant, technicians must use equipment rated and certified for mildly flammable A2L refrigerant handling during installation and service.

Key Features

• 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity at 3 nominal tons
• 14 SEER2 rated efficiency meets current federal minimum standards
• R454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential, A2L classification
• Single-stage operation for simplified controls and reliable performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation condensing unit for residential split cooling systems requiring a 3-ton, 14 SEER2, R454B-compatible matched indoor coil or air handler.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. R454B is an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant — technicians must use tools, recovery equipment, and leak-detection methods appropriate for A2L refrigerants and follow all applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before any service work. Verify that the matched indoor coil or air handler is rated for use with R454B before commissioning.
