Description
This MRCOOL Signature Series 4-ton heat pump split system pairs the MCAESHS4T4821AA R-454B heat pump condenser with the MCAEAMPEF48E21AA multi-position air handler (ECM blower). The combination is AHRI certified (AHRI #217513233) at 14.3 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2 with 7.5 HSPF2 heating, delivering 45,000 BTU/h of rated cooling. It is a straightforward, efficient replacement for an older R-410A split system and provides year-round heating and cooling.
