Switching to new R32 refrigerant? A complete AC system gives you matched components for easy compatibility, including the AC unit, air distribution box, and a thermostat. With heat and cool capability from a heat pump, you're set for comfort across the seasons. New R32 units aren't backwards compatible with old R410A systems, so this all-in-one route is the straightforward upgrade choice.
Check the electrical box and opening sizes; a 6"x6 5/8" box into a 6"x6" opening may need a tilt to fit above the bracket. Dry-fit before final wiring. If the manual is vague, verify thermostat installation steps and routing for the thermostat wire so you're not reworking after mounting.
No, you'll need a complete system. New R32 units aren't backwards compatible with old R410A systems. Choose ducted or ductless, capacity like 13,500 Btu, 15,000 Btu, or 18K Btu, and the control style you want. If you want the wall control to run a furnace too, include a thermostat designed for that; a remote can handle other AC functions.
Pick ducted if you want to feed existing vents, or ductless for a direct ceiling box. Make sure you have 12 volts at the control box; the thermostat gets its power there. Plan wiring: it only needs three wires down to the t/stat, unless you are hooking up your furnace to it then you would need five. You can keep a separate wall thermostat to run a furnace independently.
Yes, a low-profile heat-and-cool system can suit a bedroom. Choose the capacity that matches the space, like 13,500 Btu, 15,000 Btu, or 18K Btu. Consider noise and airflow where you sleep. Heat can help out on cool nights; a heat pump worked well on a 55 degree morning. After install, run both cooling and heat for a few cycles to confirm operation.
Confirm the kit's roof range and parts for thinner roofs. On some installs a long mounting bolt can hit the fan shaft—cut it shorter. The baffle between the two air chambers may need trimming and foil tape to close all gaps. Ask about a different plate for thinner roofs. Identify the EPP Evaporator cover before removal so you can access connection wires without damage.
