How It Works

Use the DIY Hybrid™ Ducted Air Handler as a central zone in your home’s duct system, then add MRCOOL® wall or ceiling air handlers to the same outdoor condenser for a multi-zone setup.

Sizing Example:
Add the BTUs of the ducted air handler and all additional indoor units to select your outdoor condenser size — just like sizing a multi-zone mini split.

Coverage varies with insulation, climate, and building layout.
