What this specific model is sized for, how it installs, how it performs, and what it costs to run.
Room & Space Coverage — 36,000 BTU
The PRODIRECT Series 3 Ton BTU ECM Air Handler delivers 36,000 BTU of cooling and heating capacity, sized for spaces up to 1,500 sq ft in standard 8-ft ceiling rooms with average insulation. At this capacity the unit is typically used for open-plan main floors, large garages, pole barns, finished basements, and small commercial bays. For homes with vaulted ceilings, heavy sun exposure, or poor insulation, plan on ~20% more BTU per square foot than the nominal coverage.
Power & Electrical Requirements
Power requirement: 208/230V 1-phase 60Hz (standard US residential 240V service). Minimum circuit ampacity is 3.8A with a maximum overcurrent protection of 15A. Wire the outdoor unit with 14 AWG copper on a dedicated 15A double-pole breaker (or single-pole at 120V), with a disconnect within sight of the condenser per NEC 440.14.
Install Difficulty — Professional Install
This is a professionally-installed condenser that requires a licensed HVAC technician with EPA 608 certification. The tech will pull a vacuum on the line set to 500 microns, pressure-test with nitrogen, release the factory charge, and commission per MrCool's startup procedure. Budget 1 full day for install on a single-zone system. Ships with R410a refrigerant. R-410A is a mature, widely-serviced refrigerant; service technicians and parts are available at any HVAC supply house.
