55,000 BTU 18.8 SEER2 ACiQ 3-Zone Concealed Duct Mini Split System w/ Extreme Heat - 9+18+18

Benefits of Concealed Duct Air Handlers for Your Home

Concealed duct air handlers offer a discreet and efficient way to cool or heat your home without visible air handlers on your walls or ceilings. These flexible units are designed to be concealed above the ceiling, below the floor, above a closet ceiling, above a hallway ceiling, or behind a soffit. Here are some of the benefits of concealed duct air handlers:

1. Versatility

Concealed duct air handlers can be installed in various locations, giving you more flexibility with your home's design. They are perfect for small bedrooms or a master suite, as up to 4 flex duct runs can be connected, depending on the unit's capacity.

2. Simple Design

Concealed duct air handlers have a simple design that consists of a rear return air inlet and a front supply air outlet. The almost-silent squirrel cage fan pushes the cooled or heated air out of the unit, making it a quiet and efficient option for your home.

3. Customizable

The concealed duct system allows for a high level of customization, as you can field-fabricate plenums using ductboard or attach a pre-made manifold takeoff. This flexibility allows you to create a unique solution for your home's specific needs.

4. Suitable for New Construction or Additions

Concealed duct air handlers are best used in new construction projects or additions, as the installation requires pre-planning and is similar in scope to a standard home HVAC installation. However, the benefits of a concealed duct system are worth the effort.

5. Features

• 18,000 BTU of heating or cooling
• Dry and fan modes also available (MACIQ-12FM-HH-MB)
• Good for a medium room in most climates
• Wall-mounted thermostat included

Installation Considerations

Concealed duct system installations require additional supplies such as flex ducting, register vents, plenums, and installation supplies, in addition to the equipment components. The concealed duct units have a factory-installed pump to lift the condensation. From there, you will need to use PVC to construct a drain system to a safe wastewater location.

Overall, concealed duct air handlers provide a discreet and customizable option for heating and cooling your home, with minimal impact on your home's design and aesthetic.

55,000 BTU, 22 SEER2

The ACiQ-55Z-HH-M5B is a 55,000 BTU condenser designed to effortlessly support up to 4 air handlers at a maximum of 1.25 times the condenser BTU rating, or 60,000 BTU across all air handlers. This adaptive, inverter condenser is continuously self-adjusting to provide the precise amount of heating or cooling necessary to maintain the desired temperature in each room or zone. With the ability to set different temperatures room by room and turn off heating and cooling in unused areas, combined with a high efficiency rating of 22 SEER2, you can rest assured that you are buying a system intelligently designed to save you money upfront and over the lifetime of the unit.

While the condenser comes pre-charged, it is important to note that this model does not have quick connect line set connectors and is not a self-install unit. Professional assistance is needed to add more refrigerant and vacuum the lines as necessary. Additionally, installation materials like line sets, control wire, drain hose, whip, and disconnect are not included but can be purchased at an additional cost in the Accessories section found to the right of this text. It is important to note that for all multi-zone ACiQ condensers, a minimum of two air handlers is required for the unit to function.
