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)
