ACiQ 2.5 Ton 15.2 SEER2 Air Conditioner Condenser Inverter 230V R454B ACIQ-30-AC-B
The ACIQ-30-AC-B is a 2.5 ton, 15.2 SEER2 air conditioner condenser built around a variable-speed inverter compressor and R454B refrigerant. Instead of cycling on and off at full capacity, the compressor speeds up and slows down to track real-time demand, and ACiQ's Learning Condenser technology monitors indoor and outdoor temperature, duct pressure, and refrigerant temperature during startup to fine-tune performance going forward.
Rated at 30,000 BTU of cooling with up to 1,825 CFM airflow and as low as 58 dBA of operating sound, this condenser can also throttle down to roughly a 1 ton unit when full capacity isn't needed, making it a good seasonal AC-only option for homes that already have another primary heat source such as a boiler or fireplace. It runs on a 208/230V single-phase circuit and weighs 105.6 lbs.
Key Features
-
Variable-Speed Inverter Compressor - Self-adjusts BTU output to match real-time demand instead of cycling at full capacity.
-
Learning Condenser Technology - Monitors temperature, duct pressure, and refrigerant temperature during startup to optimize future performance.
-
15.2 SEER2 Efficiency - Rated 15.2 SEER2 / 10.2 EER2 for lower cooling operating costs.
-
30,000 BTU Cooling Capacity - Delivers 30,000 BTU of cooling with up to 1,825 CFM of airflow.
-
Quiet Operation - Runs as low as 58 dBA, noticeably quieter than a fixed-speed condenser at full load.
-
R454B Refrigerant - Uses the lower-GWP R454B refrigerant charge required for current equipment.
-
Down to 1 Ton Operation - Inverter design lets the compressor throttle down for seasonal AC-only supplemental cooling.
-
208/230V Single-Phase Electrical - Runs on a 208/230V 1-phase 60 Hz circuit with a 20 Amps max breaker.
Important Refrigerant Safety Notice: This unit uses R454B, an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant. It must be paired with a compatible, A2L-rated indoor coil or air handler equipped with proper leak detection. Please call 1-888-557-9206 with any compatibility questions before purchasing or installing.

Installation and Maintenance
Installing the ACiQ central ducted air handler is similar to installing any standard replacement air handler. Your technician will handle the electrical, refrigerant, thermostat, and communication connections, as well as linking the air handler to your return and supply ductwork. This unit is highly versatile, as it is multi-positional—capable of being installed in upflow, downflow, or horizontal orientations.
The system can be controlled by any 24V thermostat with two stages of heating, and supplemental electric heat kits are available for backup heating during the coldest days. Should maintenance be necessary, the intelligent control board in the air handler will display fault codes to help identify any issues with the system.
Please Note: For proper operation, the air handler must be paired with a condenser and other installation equipment, which are sold separately if not included in the product bundle. Additionally, if you wish to use straight electric heating, an electric heat kit is required, which is also available at an additional cost.
