ALXS3NN1810A
Amana 18,000 BTU 1.5 Ton
Single-Stage
AC Air Conditioner
The ALXS3NN family is a central AC outdoor condenser option designed for straightforward, reliable cooling. Comfort still depends on correct sizing, the right indoor coil match, and a clean, properly commissioned install.
A 1.5 ton system is often in the conversation for smaller footprints: compact townhomes, smaller bungalows, and some condos with ducted air handlers. It can also fit homes where ductwork is limited and you simply can’t move the airflow a larger system would need.
Common pitfalls are oversizing and “paper tonnage.” If the home is tight or recently improved (windows/insulation), going bigger can create short cycles and poorer humidity control. We confirm airflow, coil match, and supply/return limitations before locking in size.
We confirm sizing and pricing on site – no pressure, no upsells.

Technical documents
Key features of the ALXS3N family
What it is:
- Outdoor central AC condenser (split system) using R-32 refrigerant
- Single-stage operation (simple, straightforward cooling)
Build & serviceability (equipment details):
- Copper tube / enhanced aluminum coil (manufacturer design)
- Steel louver coil guard to help protect the outdoor coil
- Removable grille-style top; compact footprint
- Top + side service access (easier maintenance access)
- Sweat connection service valves with gauge ports
- Enclosed contactor + high-pressure switch (manufacturer safety/control components)
What actually determines comfort (install + matching):
- Must be paired with the right indoor coil / matched system for proper performance
- Airflow has to be set up correctly (duct limitations matter as much as the condenser)
- Proper commissioning: evacuation, leak check, then charge verification using the correct method
Ownership basics:
- Filter changes and keeping coils clean protect capacity and efficiency
- Warranty note: Amana 10-year parts limited warranty typically requires online registration within 60 days of installation (Peak Comfort HVAC handles this for you)
