Friedrich FRA15AY36AJ1NALHP Condensing Unit 3 Ton 15 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRA15AY36AJ1NALHP is a 3-ton residential air conditioning condensing unit rated at 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity with a 15 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A, and runs a single-stage compressor configuration. This outdoor unit pairs with a matched indoor evaporator coil and air handler to form a split cooling system. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and commissioning, including refrigerant handling under EPA Section 608 certification requirements.

This condensing unit is suited for residential split-system cooling applications requiring a 3-ton capacity. The single-stage compressor provides straightforward on/off operation, making it a practical replacement or new-install option in standard residential settings. Installers should confirm indoor coil compatibility and system static pressure requirements before installation. The R454B refrigerant charge requires certified technicians for any service involving the refrigerant circuit.

Key Features

• 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity rated for 3-ton applications
• 15 SEER2 efficiency rating meets current federal minimum efficiency standards
• R454B refrigerant — lower global warming potential compared to R-410A
• Single-stage compressor operation for reliable, straightforward cooling control
• Outdoor condensing unit designed for matched split-system installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential air conditioning condensing unit for 3-ton split cooling systems using R454B refrigerant. Verify indoor coil and air handler compatibility with the manufacturer before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician due to the R454B refrigerant circuit. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing the unit. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer documentation for refrigerant line sizing, electrical disconnect requirements, and pad or wall-mount placement. Do not mix refrigerant types or use components rated for R-410A without verifying compatibility with R454B service pressures.
