Microban® treatment
Drain pans are infused with
an antibacterial agent that
destabilizes the membrane of
microorganism cells, disrupting
the cellular function of odorcausing mold and bacteria
so they can no longer grow
or reproduce. Because the
Microban is infused with
the plastic, UV lights will not
deteriorate its effectiveness
over time.
Mold growth comparison
The best defense against mold and mildew in a home is
preventing its growth through the use of mold-resistant materials.

Inside every AirEase BCE3 compact air handler, you’ll find the kind of thoughtful engineering and attention to
detail that customers will appreciate. You’ll also find many thoughtful touches designed to make your job easier.
MHT™ Technology:
Fixed orifice
AirEase’s proprietary heat transfer
system. The coil features rifled
tubing to enhance refrigerant
flow, while lanced coil fins
increase surface contact between
metal and air. All combine for
maximum heat transfer and
efficiency.
Sleeved distributor tubes
The protective wrapper prevents copper-to-copper contact,
commonly known in the industry as “tube-rub.” This small detail
prevents the likelihood of developing a refrigerant leak through
vibrations during shipping, installation and normal operation.
Eliminates the need for a thermal
expansion valve in 13 SEER
applications, thereby reducing
installation time (on 2–4 ton
models).
Constant torque motor (select models)
You can give your customers the benefits of variable speed
without the cost. Like a variable speed furnace, constant torque air
handlers provide lower operating costs and increases to overall
system efficiency. Compared to standard PSC motors, constant
torque delivers more consistent airflow and quieter operation.

Thumb screw filter access

Built-in filter rack
Full rails provide maximum

Advanced drain pan design
These air handlers feature the
industry’s lowest water retention
rate for extremely effective
condensate removal. Because
the coil sits above the drain pan
and not in it, this design reduces
the chance of corrosion and
eliminates standing water.
The AirEase BCE3 compact air handlers are a smart
choice for you and the homeowners you serve.
EASE OF SERVICE
Internal cabinet braces hold the cabinet rigid in horizontal
applications, so these air handlers won’t twist, buckle or bend
when the doors are off.
EASE OF INSTALLATION
Thanks to a compact cabinet size, the BCE3 compact air
handlers can fit in more applications, even when space is at a
premium. The A-coil with a fixed orifice, internal cabinet brace
and pre-bent duct flanges all help make your job easier.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Built with the highest-quality materials, the BCE3 combines
advanced MHT™ Technology and constant torque blower
motors to deliver superior performance homeowners can rely on
for many years to come.
