IMPORTANT: This is only one part of the system. To complete your setup, you must also purchase a compatible indoor or outdoor unit that uses the same refrigerant type (R454B, R32 or R410A). Additionally do not mix and match brands (Ex Cooper&Hunter, Bravo, or OLMO).

⚠️ Do not mix R454B, R32 and R410A units—they are not compatible with each other.

Summary

The ACiQ Concealed Duct air handler provides all the advantages of a mini split system without any visible indoor units. This powerful 18,000 BTU (1.5 ton) solution can be hidden above ceilings, below floors, in closets, or behind soffits, with conditioned air delivered through standard ductwork to registers in your desired locations. Perfect for new construction or additions, this system offers whisper-quiet operation and efficient heating/cooling capacity for medium-sized rooms.

The simple design features return air intake at the rear and conditioned air supply at the front via a nearly silent squirrel cage fan. With support for up to 4 flex duct runs, this unit is ideal for distributing air to multiple rooms while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance.
