Key Features

Why this condenser works

R-32 Refrigerant — Built for What's Next

R-32 is the new residential refrigerant standard, replacing R-410A. It runs up to 10% more efficient, uses about 30% less charge per system, and meets today's EPA AIM Act rules. This condenser is built for it from day one.

Single-Stage Scroll Compressor

A proven scroll compressor does the heavy lifting. Fewer moving parts than old piston designs. Smooth, quiet, and built to run for years without complaints.

15.2 SEER2 Efficiency

Rated at 15.2 SEER2 under the current M1 test standard. That efficiency rating translates to lower summer electric bills across a 1.5-ton home. Pair with a matched indoor coil for AHRI-certified performance.

Built to Take It

Heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet. Louvered coil guard to shield internal components from impact and debris. Built for long-term outdoor installation in real American weather — sun, storms, and everything in between.

Service-Friendly When It Matters

Single-panel access, clearly labeled wiring, and standard 3/8" liquid / 3/4" suction line connections. Less time on your roof means lower service bills.

Backed by Ace Air

10-Year Parts Limited Warranty and 10-Year Compressor Limited Warranty when registered within 60 days of installation. Simple, documented, backed.

The GLXS5B air conditioner condenser delivers 1.5 ton of cooling capacity (18,000 BTU) at 15.2 SEER2 efficiency, running on R-32 refrigerant. The cabinet meets 2023 Florida Building Code requirements for hurricane-type winds when properly anchored, and the architectural-gray powder-paint finish is rated for 500-hour salt-spray exposure. AHRI Certified and ETL Listed.

  • Pre-charged with R-32 refrigerant — factory-charged for 15 feet of line set to reduce installation time.
  • UL 60335-2-40 compliant top design — removable grille-style top with venturi for increased airflow velocity.
  • Architectural Gray powder-paint finish — 500-hour salt-spray rating for long-term corrosion resistance.
  • Florida Building Code compliant — meets 2023 hurricane-wind requirements when properly anchored (anchor bracket kits available).
  • Copper tube / enhanced aluminum fin coil — 5mm-diameter design improves heat transfer and reduces refrigerant volume.
  • Factory-installed filter drier — removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant circuit at startup.
  • Steel louver coil guard — protects the coil without restricting airflow.
  • Top and side maintenance access — single-panel access to controls with space for field-installed accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size home does a 1.5-ton condenser cool?
1.5-ton units typically handle homes in the 750–1,100 sq. ft. range. Your climate, insulation, window area, and ceiling height all change the math — a professional Manual J load calculation is the right way to size for your specific home.
What is SEER2?
SEER2 is the DOE's current cooling efficiency rating — a 2023 update that uses more realistic test conditions than the old SEER standard. Higher number means lower summer electric bills. The AAD-GLXS5BA1810A rates at 15.2 SEER2.
What is R-32 refrigerant and why the switch from R-410A?
R-32 is replacing R-410A as the standard residential refrigerant. It runs more efficiently, uses roughly 30% less charge per system, and has a lower climate impact. The EPA and AIM Act are phasing out R-410A — R-32 is the direction the whole industry is going.
Can I pair this condenser with my existing indoor coil or air handler?
Only if your indoor unit is R-32. R-32 and R-410A run at different pressures with different oils — mix them and you'll damage the equipment and void the warranty. For rated 15.2 SEER2 performance, use an AHRI-certified matched R-32 coil or air handler.
Do I need AHRI-certified matching?
The 15.2 SEER2 rating applies to specific matched component combinations. Install this condenser with a non-matched coil and you won't hit the rated efficiency. You may also run into warranty issues and local code problems. Always install as an AHRI-certified matched system.
How loud is 73 dB in practical terms?
73 dB is in normal range for a 1.5-ton residential condenser. For reference: normal conversation is around 60 dB, a dishwasher runs around 70 dB, a gas lawn mower hits 85 dB from 50 ft. Install away from bedroom windows and patios when you can, and keep the clearance requirements in mind for airflow.
What maintenance does the condenser need?
Keep the outdoor coil clear of leaves, grass clippings, and dryer lint. Maintain at least 24 inches of clearance on all sides for airflow. Get a licensed HVAC tech out for an annual tune-up — coil cleaning, refrigerant charge check, electrical inspection. Regular maintenance protects efficiency and extends equipment life.
How do I register for the 10-year warranty?
Register at Ace Air's warranty page within 60 days of installation. You need: model number (AAD-GLXS5BA1810A), serial number (from the data plate), install date, and installing contractor info. Miss the 60-day window and you drop to the shorter base warranty.
