Description
The Bard W12AF-A00 is a WA Series wall-mount, single-stage packaged air conditioner designed for commercial-duty cooling where space is tight and the exterior wall-mount format keeps the building layout clean. It’s a strong fit for smaller-load applications like modular buildings, guard houses, small offices, telecom and equipment rooms, classrooms, site trailers, and support spaces where you need dependable cooling without dedicating interior floor space to HVAC equipment.
W12AF-A00 is backed by certified performance values so you can spec it with confidence instead of guessing. Capacity is certified to ANSI/ARI 390-2021, and the W12AF model is rated at 13,000 BTUH cooling capacity with 11.2 EER (ratings based on no outside air introduction). These are the core performance numbers customers and pros typically look for when selecting a wall-mount packaged cooling model by exact SKU.
The WA Series is built around practical commercial design choices: multi-speed ECM indoor motor technology to support airflow control, an enclosed outdoor fan motor with ball bearings for durability, and copper/aluminum finned coils. The refrigerant platform is R-454B (A2L) and includes a filter drier for system protection, while the evaporator coil includes green fin coil protection for added durability.
When a project calls for more than basic cooling, the WA Series supports common add-ons and options. That includes ventilation paths such as economizers or energy recovery ventilators, filtration upgrades up to MERV13, IAQ accessories like UVC-LED and NPBI devices, and optional electric heater options from 2 kW up to 15 kW depending on the configuration.
