5 ton airhandler with 4 ton condenser, pros/cons
what are the pro.s and con,s of having a larger air handler? In my situation I have a 5 ton air handler that I am installing in a house with a 4 ton condenser, This is pretty much cause I already own the units and I am buying a fixer upper home here in Miami, any help will be greatly appreciated. also will installing a TXV be of any help? Thank you all!

Assuming they are from the same manufacturer, depends on what they say. Differnt piston or txv. Differences in final charge.

Well, I don't know much about the matching size, but I can tell you this. I have had a 2.5 outside, 3.0 inside, work fine for many years. I remember my A/c tech told me, the inside unit should be a little larger then the outside unit (don't remember why).

Larger airhandler will yeild greater efficiency. But Manufacturers reccomendations must be followed.
Which reminds me of something I saw yesterday and forgot to look up. Ran into a 5 ton Frigidaire with 4 ton indoor cool. Doesn't seem right to me, but what does Nordyne say about that?

What is the model and serial of the Trane, I'll look it up.
As for the Frigidarie, Nordyne does not say yes.
