Description
Product Summary
The Daikin SkyAir RZA36AAVJU-FTA36AAVJUA is a matched 36,000 BTU (3 ton) single-zone heat pump system. It pairs the RZA36AAVJU inverter outdoor unit with the FTA36AAVJUA multi-position air handler, runs on 208/230V 1-Phase power and uses R-32 refrigerant.
As a matched set it carries AHRI Reference No. 217175217 and is rated at 16.8 SEER2 and 10 EER2, with 9 HSPF2 in heating. It keeps heating down to -4°F outdoors.
The multi-position air handler installs upflow, downflow or horizontal and connects to standard ductwork, so it can replace a conventional air handler in a closet, attic or basement.
