Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 135SAN-C a good value for coastal homes?
The Bryant 135SAN-C delivers coastal corrosion protection at the Legacy line price point. While it uses single-stage operation instead of the two-stage found in Preferred models, it includes the same DuraGuard™ coastal coatings that protect against salt air and humidity. This makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners near water who need reliable protection without premium features.
What is Puron Advance® refrigerant and why does it matter?
Puron Advance® (R-454B) is Bryant's next-generation refrigerant with 78% lower global warming potential than the previous R-410A. This positions the 135SAN-C for future regulations and ensures you won't face refrigerant availability or cost issues down the road. The refrigerant delivers excellent cooling performance while being more environmentally responsible.
How does single-stage cooling compare to two-stage?
Single-stage units like the 135SAN-C operate at full capacity whenever running, while two-stage units can run at a lower speed for mild days. The trade-off is that single-stage is simpler, more affordable, and has fewer components that can fail. For homes with straightforward cooling needs and budget considerations, single-stage remains a solid, reliable choice.
Do I need a coastal unit if I'm 10+ miles from the ocean?
Generally, coastal protection is most valuable within 5-15 miles of saltwater. However, homes near rivers, in consistently humid areas, or exposed to industrial environments may also benefit. Our team can evaluate your specific location and exposure factors to recommend whether the coastal variant makes sense for your situation.
What's the warranty on the Legacy Coastal model?
The Bryant 135SAN-C includes a 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty when installed by a Factory Authorized Dealer and registered within 90 days of installation. This covers all functional components including the compressor, condenser coil, and electrical parts. As a Factory Authorized Dealer, we ensure proper installation and registration to protect your warranty coverage.
