This is a central HVAC unit with 24,000 BTU of cooling and heating capacity. Considered as one of the most practical sizes for Florida’s smaller homes, condos, apartments, and rental properties, this unit is suitable for delivering year-round comfort through a single system.
Just one efficient system for both cooling and heating year-round.
The cooling mode works by the indoor air handler drawing warm air from inside the house, and the refrigerant absorbs the heat.
The refrigerant carries that heat through the line set to the outdoor unit, and it gets released into the outside air.
The cycle works in a reverse mode in the heating mode. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the air outside the house and transfers it indoors, warming the space efficiently.
You will be purchasing the HVAC components themselves, that is, the outdoor Straight Cool condenser and the indoor air handler, but without installation labor, line sets, communication wire, or accessories.
Equipment-only pricing gives you the flexibility to purchase only the HVAC equipment you need while allowing your preferred installer to supply the remaining installation materials.
Equipment-only purchases are a practical choice for contractors, landlords, property managers, and homeowners who already have an installation plan in place. This approach enables you to purchase the necessary equipment without incurring unnecessary installation costs.

Note: These estimates are generic. Mobile homes and condos with poor insulation, high sun exposure, or older windows may need to be sized up slightly.
