3-Ton AC and Coil Installation in Frederick, MD
The homeowner in Frederick, MD had been living with an air conditioner that couldn’t keep up — the system consistently fell short of set temperatures, and both the condenser and evaporator coil had reached the point where replacement made more sense than repair. With plans to sell the home within the year, the goal was a reliable, right-sized system that wouldn’t break the budget.
Mychall installed a Lennox Merit ML14KC1 3-ton single-stage air conditioner paired with a CK40CT dedicated evaporator coil — both rated for R-454B refrigerant. The system is rated at 14.3 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2, with a cooling capacity of 34,200 BTU. The existing outdoor unit and coil were removed as part of the installation. Mychall set a new outdoor pad, made duct modifications to support the new configuration, and updated the condensate drain routing. The matched coil is an aluminum-cased upflow unit, sized to work in step with the new condenser.
With the new 3-ton system in place, the home now has equipment properly matched to its cooling load — a direct fix for the temperature shortfall the homeowner had been dealing with. The installation carries a 10-year parts warranty on the equipment and a 3-year labor warranty covering the installation work itself, giving the homeowner solid coverage whether they’re still in the home or passing it along to a buyer.
2-Ton AC and Coil Installation in Frederick, MD
The existing outdoor condenser at this Frederick, MD property had settled into soft ground to the point where the unit was sinking in the mud — a problem that compromises refrigerant line connections, electrical components, and long-term equipment performance. The homeowner opted to replace the system entirely rather than attempt to salvage aging equipment in a deteriorating position.
Mychall removed the old condenser and evaporator coil and installed a Lennox Merit ML14KC1 2-ton single-stage air conditioner paired with a CK40CT 2.5-ton R-454B dedicated evaporator coil. The new condenser is rated at 14.3 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2, meeting current efficiency standards, and runs on R-454B refrigerant. The coil is an aluminum-cased upflow configuration matched to the indoor air handler. As part of the installation, Mychall addressed duct and drain modifications needed to properly integrate the new equipment, and the condenser was set on a stable pad to eliminate the settling issue that had compromised the previous unit.
With the new system in place, the homeowner has a properly supported, correctly sized cooling setup going into the season. The installation includes a 10-year parts warranty on the equipment and a 3-year labor warranty covering the installation work — two separate layers of protection. A maintenance agreement was also added at the time of installation to keep the new system running at rated efficiency.
