Discover the transformative benefits of a Bryant 5-ton air conditioning unit and elevate your living environment.

What Makes a 5 Ton AC Stand Out?
A 5-ton air conditioner is specifically designed to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures in larger homes. The term 'ton' denotes the unit's cooling capacity, with one ton equating to the removal of 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of heat per hour. Thus, a 5-ton AC system can efficiently eliminate 60,000 BTUs of heat hourly. By using a refrigeration cycle, it circulates refrigerant to absorb indoor heat and expel it outside, ensuring a consistently cool home. Learn more about how does air conditioning work.
While you’ll want to work with your local Bryant dealer to ensure a properly sized AC unit for your home, 5-ton air conditioners typically are installed in homes ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 square feet, contingent upon factors like ceiling height, insulation, and climate.
Opting for a 5 ton air conditioning unit offers several advantages. Its significant capacity can work well for larger homes or open floor plans, providing consistent cooling even during peak temperatures.
Features of Bryant 5 Ton AC Units
Bryant ‘s 5-ton Evolution™ Extreme Variable Speed Air Conditioner 191VAN is renowned for its exceptional energy efficiency and high SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of 21. A SEER2 rating of 21 can translate into significant energy cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Our commitment to innovation is reflected in the advanced technology and features of our 5-ton air conditioning unit. The 191VAN uses inverter technology and a rotary compressor to deliver variable-speed comfort control with operation between 25-100% capacity in 1% increments. That translates to highly efficient, low-stage cooling for quiet operation. Additionally, enjoy optimal humidity management through low stage operation when managed by the Evolution™ Connex™ Control.
