• The N4A5 Performance 14 is a single-stage, more affordable option ($3,000 – $4,500).

• Drawbacks: Single-stage operation, lower SEER (14), less efficient dehumidification, noisier, and no unit replacement warranty.

• The Ion 17 may qualify for rebates that make it closer in cost to the N4A5 while offering significantly better performance.

  Feature	CCA7 Ion 17	N4A5 Performance 14
  SEER	Up to 17	Up to 14
  Compressor	Two-stage	Single-stage
  ENERGY STAR®	Yes	No
  Warranty	10-yr replacement	Parts only

3.Tier Comparison: CCA7 Ion 17 vs. CSA5 Ion 15

• The CSA5 Ion 15 is in the same premium tier but is less advanced.

• Single-stage compressor and fan result in lower efficiency, more noise, and less effective dehumidification.

• Warranty: Three-year No Hassle Replacement™ (shorter than the Ion 17).

• Compatible with Ion System Control, but lacks the performance and efficiency of the CCA7.

  Feature	CCA7 Ion 17	CSA5 Ion 15
  SEER	17	15
