What this specific model is sized for, how it installs, how it performs, and what it costs to run.
Room & Space Coverage — 18,000 BTU
The 1.5 Ton MRCOOL® VersaPro® Central Ducted Heat Pump Condenser delivers 18,000 BTU of cooling and heating capacity (1.5-ton class), sized for spaces up to 900 sq ft in standard 8-ft ceiling rooms with average insulation. At this capacity the unit handles medium primary rooms, master suites with attached bath, converted garages, and workshops. If your space includes a sunny west-facing wall or a finished bonus room above it, lean toward the upper end of the coverage range.
Efficiency & Operating Cost
This unit is rated at 18.8 SEER2 and 11 EER2 at full load. SEER2 measures seasonal cooling efficiency — higher is better — and 18.8 meets modern federal minimum standards with headroom for utility rebates in most states. Running the unit 8 hours a day at full load draws roughly 230 kWh/month — about $37/month at the US average $0.16/kWh residential rate. Real-world draw is usually 30–50% lower because inverter compressors modulate down most of the time.
Power & Electrical Requirements
Power requirement: 208-230V 1-phase 60Hz (standard US residential 240V service). Minimum circuit ampacity is 16A with a maximum overcurrent protection of 20A. Wire the outdoor unit with 12 AWG copper on a dedicated 20A 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 R454B refrigerant. R-454B is the EPA 2025-compliant low-GWP replacement for R-410A, required for new-manufacture equipment — lower global-warming footprint without an efficiency penalty.
Sound Level & Comfort Features
Rated sound output is 55 dB(A) at full operation.
Warranty & Certifications
Manufacturer warranty: 10 Years on parts, 10 Years on the compressor. AHRI certified — required for most utility rebate and tax credit programs.
What's in the Box & Compatibility
Ships as a Split System Heat Pump Condenser.
