Bryant's Preferred coastal air conditioner with enhanced corrosion protection for homes near water. Perfect for Oregon coast and Columbia River communities.
How the Bryant 148TAN-C Protects Coastal Homes
Enhanced corrosion protection for marine environments and high-humidity areas
Enhanced Coastal Corrosion Protection
Homes near the Oregon coast or Columbia River face salt air and moisture that can corrode standard AC units. The 148TAN-C features enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings on coils, cabinet, and components.
Extended equipment life in marine and high-humidity environments throughout the Portland metro area.
Two-Stage Cooling Efficiency
The 148TAN-C's two-stage operation runs at low stage for mild days and high stage for extreme heat, providing consistent comfort at 18 SEER2 efficiency even in coastal humidity.
Two-stage technology reduces temperature swings while handling coastal moisture effectively.
InteliSense™ Remote Monitoring
Cloud-based diagnostics allow your contractor to monitor system health remotely - especially valuable for coastal homes where salt air can cause issues that need early detection.
Proactive monitoring catches corrosion-related problems before they become costly repairs.
DuraGuard Plus™ Cabinet
The coastal variant features enhanced powder-coat finish and protective coatings designed to withstand salt spray, fog, and high humidity common near water.
Cabinet and components resist rust and corrosion for longer equipment life in challenging environments.

View Official DocumentsFrequently Asked Questions
What makes the 148TAN-C different from the standard 148TAN?
The 148TAN-C Coastal variant features enhanced corrosion-resistant coatings on the condenser coil, cabinet, and all exposed components. It's specifically designed for homes within 15 miles of the ocean or in high-humidity environments where salt air and moisture accelerate equipment degradation. The standard 148TAN is ideal for inland locations.
Do I need a coastal AC unit if I live in Portland?
Most Portland metro homes don't require coastal protection. However, if you live near the Columbia River, in the Gorge, or in areas with consistently high humidity, the coastal variant can extend equipment life. Our technicians can assess your specific location and recommend whether the additional protection is worthwhile for your home.
How much does coastal protection add to the cost?
The coastal variant typically adds $200-$400 to the equipment cost compared to the standard model. However, in corrosive environments, this investment can extend equipment life by 3-5 years or more, making it a worthwhile investment for homes near water. Contact us for a specific quote based on your installation needs.
What is InteliSense™ monitoring and is it included?
InteliSense™ is Bryant's cloud-based remote monitoring system that allows your contractor to track system performance and catch issues early. It's especially valuable for coastal units where early detection of corrosion-related problems can prevent expensive repairs. InteliSense™ comes standard with the 148TAN-C when paired with a compatible Bryant control system.
What warranty coverage does the coastal model include?
The Bryant 148TAN-C includes a 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty when installed by a Factory Authorized Dealer like Efficiency Heating & Cooling and registered within 90 days. The warranty covers all functional parts including compressor, coils, and control components. Extended labor warranties are also available through our installation packages.
