They’re a smart choice for homeowners, DIY-capable buyers working with a pro, property managers handling turnovers, and light commercial suites needing reliable cooling with straightforward electric heat.

Select the capacity that fits your load: 1.5 to 5 tons (about 18,000-60,000 BTU). Systems span SEER2 13.8-16.2 to balance efficiency and cost. Refrigerant options include R-32, R-410A, and R-454B to support upgrades to current, lower-GWP technology. Shop by size in our subcategories: 1.5 Ton, 2 Ton, 2.5 Ton, 3 Ton, 3.5 Ton, 4 Ton, and 5 Ton for easy selection.

Professional installation is required for safety, code compliance, and warranty protection.

  • Which tonnage should I choose for my home size?

  • Are these cool-only systems compatible with electric heat strips out of the box?

    Yes. The air handlers are built for factory or field-installed heat kits-select the correct kW and matching breaker size, and use a compatible thermostat.

  • Do I need a licensed contractor to install these split systems?

    Yes. Proper refrigerant handling, electrical work, permitting, and startup are required for safety, code compliance, and to maintain manufacturer warranties.

  • What cabinet widths are available and how do they affect fitment?

    Cabinet size varies by tonnage and model. Narrow units aid closet installs; wider cabinets offer larger coils. Always verify dimensions and duct/return clearances.

  • Are there differences in efficiency or features between Goodman, Rheem, EcoTemp, and DiamondAir?

    Goodman emphasizes value and parts availability; Rheem on build and diagnostics; EcoTemp and DiamondAir offer budget-forward, straightforward designs. All meet listed SEER2.
