QUICK FACTS

• 4 ton, 14 SEER heat pump condenser
• Can cool up to a large house in average conditions
• Single stage compressor
• Filter drier included to be field-installed

4 Tons

The AirQuest R4H448GKC heat pump condenser has an output of 4 tons, generally enough to heat and cool up to a large house in ideal climates. In many system configurations, the tonnage of the unit’s paired coil or air handler will be larger in tonnage than this condenser, which maintains the efficiency of the unit.
Please note that this condenser cannot function on its own, and it needs an indoor coil or air handler to work. This unit will also only heat down to around 35°F, and if you need heat any lower than this, a backup heat strip will be needed to act as straight electric heating in a compatible air handler.

14 SEER

The AirQuest by Carrier R4H448GKC air conditioner condenser is rated at 14 SEER, making it between 5-7% more efficient than standard 13 SEER units, saving you money in electric bills over the entire lifetime of your unit. In general, heat pumps will heat more efficiently than straight electric furnaces.

AirQuest offers a 5 year parts warranty on this condenser. For these warranties to be upheld, the unit must be installed following your state and local codes, a new and certified coil must be installed at the same time, and the entire system must be registered online through the manufacturer.

The cabinet of AirQuest by Carrier units are extremely durable. On the R4H448GKC, there are reinforced corner posts and the internals of the unit are protected by an additional inlet grille, all to provide enhanced protection to the unit.
