General Electric ns18a36ta4 2-stage Air Conditioner 3 Ton 18 Seer

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC ns18a36ta4 is a 3-ton, 18 SEER two-stage central air conditioner designed for residential cooling applications. The two-stage compressor modulates between low- and high-capacity operation, reducing runtime energy draw during mild conditions and delivering full cooling output when peak demand requires it. Aluminum alloy tube-and-fin coils provide efficient heat transfer and long-term durability in outdoor environments. The unit ships at 157 pounds and has a net operating weight of 152 pounds. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this equipment as part of a split-system or packaged cooling setup.

The ns18a36ta4 is suited for residential split-system installations where high-efficiency cooling and quiet part-load operation are priorities. Its 18 SEER rating positions it well above minimum federal efficiency standards, making it appropriate for energy-conscious new construction and retrofit projects. The unit is designed for straightforward field servicing, with accessible components that reduce diagnostic and maintenance time. It is intended for use with a compatible indoor air handler or furnace coil matched to the 3-ton capacity class.
