Description
The MRCOOL CENTRAL-36-HP-C-230B00-O is the 3-ton outdoor heat pump unit of the Hyper Heat Central Ducted 2nd Gen line. Matched with the MVP-36-HP-MUAH-230A00-O air handler it is AHRI certified (Reference No. 216032532) at 17.4 SEER2, 11.7 EER2 and 10.3 HSPF2, with 36,000 BTU/h of rated cooling and 37,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F on R-454B refrigerant.
The outdoor unit pairs an enhanced-heating DC inverter compressor with Gold Fin corrosion-resistant coil coating and a side-discharge cabinet. Because the compressor modulates rather than cycling at full power, the house sees steadier temperatures, quieter operation and lower energy use through most of the season.
This is MRCOOL's cold-climate central system. MRCOOL rates the Hyper Heat line for up to 100% heating output at -5°F and full cooling output at 109°F, so it can carry a home through northern winters without leaning on backup heat the way a standard heat pump does.
Electrical and piping
The unit runs on 208/230V single phase with a 29.0 A minimum circuit ampacity and 30.0 A maximum overcurrent protection. It uses a 3/8 in liquid line and 3/4 in suction line, ships charged for 24.6 ft of line set, and supports runs up to 246 ft (75 m) with 98.4 ft (30 m) of lift. It measures 38.58 x 16.34 x 38.39 in and weighs 204.15 lbs.
Replacing just the outdoor unit
The ratings above apply only when this condenser is paired with the MVP-36-HP-MUAH-230A00-O. If you are replacing a failed outdoor unit on an existing Hyper Heat Central Ducted system, match the model to your air handler before ordering. MRCOOL backs Hyper Heat with 10 years on the compressor, 10 years on parts and 10 years of labor coverage.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
Which air handler does this condenser match?
The MVP-36-HP-MUAH-230A00-O. That pair is the AHRI-certified combination (No. 216032532).
What size breaker does it need?
MRCOOL lists 29.0 A minimum circuit ampacity and 30.0 A maximum overcurrent protection on a 208/230V single-phase circuit.
What line set does it use?
3/8 in liquid and 3/4 in suction, charged for 24.6 ft. Add 0.7 oz of R-454B per additional foot, up to 246 ft (75 m).
Does it need a professional installer?
Yes. It must be piped, evacuated and charged by a licensed HVAC contractor. Local codes and efficiency requirements vary, so have your installer confirm the unit for your area.
