5 Ton DiamondAir 13.8 SEER2 R32 Central System D1460ACL32A, D1460HAEAL32A
This DiamondAir system pairs the D1460ACL32A condenser with the D1460HAEAL32A multipoise air handler, AHRI certified at 13.8 SEER2 (#218350145). 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. The 5 ton air handler steps up to an ECM blower motor. It's cooling only, with electric heat kits from 5 kW up to 20 kW available.
Is a 5 Ton Air Conditioning System the Right Size?
A 5 ton system is the top of the residential split-system range, often used in homes around 2,500–3,000+ sq. ft. as a loose guide.
Many larger homes are better served by two zoned systems. A Manual J load calculation and a duct review confirm one 5 ton system is right.
Ideal for: Large homes, two-story homes on one system and light commercial spaces.
Need heating from the outdoor unit? See the 5 Ton DiamondAir 14.3 SEER2 R32 Heat Pump System D1460HCL32A, D1460HAEAL32A, which uses the same air handler.
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
Does the D1460HAEAL32A use an ECM motor?
Yes. The 5 ton air handler uses a 3/4 HP ECM blower motor rated for 1,520 CFM. The smaller sizes use PSC motors.
Why is the 5 ton rated 13.8 SEER2 while the smaller sizes are 14.3?
The SEER2 rating comes from the matched system. The D1460ACL32A with the D1460HAEAL32A is AHRI certified at 13.8 SEER2 (#218350145).
Is the 5 ton condenser the same size as the 4 ton?
Yes. DiamondAir lists both at 32-7/8" tall on a 29-1/8" x 29-1/8" base, with a 214 lb shipping weight.
What breaker does the D1460ACL32A need?
DiamondAir lists a 39.9 amp minimum circuit ampacity and 60 amp maximum overcurrent protection on 208/230V single phase.
How does this R-32 system compare to the R-410A DiamondAir 5 ton system?
The 5 ton DiamondAir R-410A system D1460ACL2, D1460HAEAL2 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.
Does the D1460ACL32A include a crankcase heater?
No. DiamondAir's spec sheet lists no crankcase heater on any size in this R-32 condenser line.
