Trane A5PA3030A1000 Packaged Air Conditioner with Electric Heat 2.5 Ton 13.4 SEER2 Downflow Horizontal R454B

Product Description

The Trane A5PA3030A1000 is a self-contained, single packaged cooling and electric heat unit designed for light commercial and residential applications. Built under the RunTru by Trane product line, this unit delivers 28,400 BTU/h of cooling capacity at 13.4 SEER2 efficiency, operating on 208-230V/1PH/60Hz power. The convertible airflow configuration supports both downflow and horizontal duct connections, making it adaptable across a range of installation layouts. A scroll compressor handles refrigerant compression, and the outdoor coil uses a spine-fin design for efficient heat exchange. The unit runs on R-454B refrigerant, complying with current low-GWP refrigerant standards. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and commissioning.

This packaged unit is suited for residential and light commercial rooftop or ground-level installations where a single cabinet handles all heating and cooling functions. The convertible airflow design supports downflow and horizontal duct configurations, making it applicable in slab-on-grade, curb-mounted rooftop, and crawlspace setups. The integrated electric heat strip eliminates the need for a separate furnace or air handler, reducing equipment footprint. It is a common replacement or new-install choice for structures where space constraints or existing infrastructure favor an all-in-one packaged system over a split configuration.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install packaged cooling and electric heat unit within the RunTru by Trane A5PA3 Series. Consult Trane engineering literature to verify duct configuration, electrical service sizing, and curb or pad compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and applicable sections of the International Mechanical Code. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before servicing or making connections. Verify that the supply circuit is sized for the 30-amp power connection and that duct transitions match the selected airflow orientation before setting the unit. R-454B is an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant — follow all applicable handling, recovery, and safety procedures required by EPA Section 608 regulations and local jurisdiction requirements.
