Capacity and Application
The AMST60DU1300-A is a 5-ton air handler, suitable for homes and spaces ranging from 2,400 to 3,000 sq. ft., depending on insulation and climate. Often, air handlers are slightly larger in tonnage than the matched condenser. This is an intentional design decision to preserve system efficiency and airflow balance.
This model can operate as part of a full cooling or heat pump system, and when equipped with optional electric heat kits, it can also function as a standalone electric furnace or provide auxiliary backup heat for heat pump configurations.

Built to Last
The AMST60DU1300-A is crafted for long-term reliability. It features a heavy-gauge steel cabinet with a durable powder-coated finish and a corrosion-resistant, all-aluminum evaporator coil that prevents rust and breakdown common in mixed-metal systems. This level of durability makes it an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a maintenance-friendly, long-lasting solution.
Simple Installation and Service
Thanks to ACiQ’s SmartFrame internal support system, this air handler is both installer- and service-friendly. It includes cabinet-mounted features and alignment guides that simplify setup in any orientation—whether upflow, downflow, or horizontal.
Two front-facing access panels make service and diagnostics more straightforward, giving technicians easy access to internal components, which lowers labor time and service costs throughout the unit’s lifespan.
Comfort and Airflow Control
Equipped with a multi-speed, direct-drive ECM blower motor, the AMST60DU1300-A delivers quiet, energy-efficient performance and precise temperature control. Unlike standard PSC motors, ECM motors adjust speed automatically to meet your comfort demands while minimizing energy consumption. This provides better humidity control, quieter operation, and improved indoor air quality.
Warranty and Registration
The AMST60DU1300-A includes ACiQ’s 10-year limited parts warranty, which provides peace of mind for years to come. To receive full coverage, the system must be installed in accordance with all local codes and registered online through the manufacturer. For warranty eligibility, the air handler must be paired with a compatible outdoor unit.
