2.5 Ton DiamondAir 14.3 SEER2 R32 Central System D1430ACL32A, D1430HAEAL32A
This DiamondAir system pairs the D1430ACL32A condenser with the D1430HAEAL32A multipoise air handler, AHRI certified at 14.3 SEER2 (#218350141). It runs on R-32, a low-GWP A2L refrigerant, and the air handler includes a factory-installed R-32 leak sensor that shuts down the compressor and electric heat if a leak is detected. It's cooling only, with optional 5, 8 or 10 kW electric heat kits.
Is a 2.5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 2.5 ton system fits many 2- to 3-bedroom homes around 1,200–1,500 sq. ft. as a rough guide, though climate shifts that range a lot.
West-facing glass and vaulted ceilings can push a home toward 3 tons, while a tight, shaded home may need less. Confirm with a Manual J load calculation.
Ideal for: 2- to 3-bedroom homes, townhomes and mid-size ranch homes.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 3 Ton DiamondAir 14.3 SEER2 R32 Central System D1436ACL32A, D1436HAEAL32A for a larger load.
Recommended home sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, occupancy and a proper load calculation. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
How loud is the D1430ACL32A condenser?
DiamondAir lists a 63 dB(A) sound level for the 2.5 ton condenser, compared with 60 dB(A) for the 1.5 and 2 ton models.
What circuit does a 10 kW heat kit need in the D1430HAEAL32A?
DiamondAir's heat kit table lists 49.8 MCA and 50A maximum protection at 230V for the 10 kW kit, separate from the blower circuit.
What metering device does the D1430HAEAL32A use?
The indoor coil uses a piston (fixed orifice). DiamondAir provides piston replacement instructions if the installer needs to change the piston for the match.
How does this R-32 system compare to the R-410A DiamondAir 2.5 ton system?
The 2.5 ton DiamondAir R-410A system D1430ACG2, D1436HAEAL2 is the earlier version. This R-32 match uses a refrigerant with a much lower global warming potential and adds a factory-installed leak sensor in the air handler.
Is there a 2.5 ton DiamondAir R-32 heat pump system?
Yes. The 2.5 ton DiamondAir R-32 heat pump system D1430HCL32A, D1430HAEAL32A uses the same air handler and adds heating from the outdoor unit.
How long does the R-32 leak sensor last?
DiamondAir rates the refrigerant sensor for a 15-year service life and recommends blowing dust off the sensor surface after long use.
