Some bundles have fewer air handlers than available ports on the condenser, so it is based on the capacity of the air handler.

You only need to have a minimum of ⅔ load – i.e. if it’s a 3 zone and you buy 3 9K air handlers for it – you can connect it with just 2 to start

The important factors to consider are:

• The Size of the Area to Heat / Cool (Square Feet)
• Your Local Climate (is it extremely hot or cold for extended periods of time?)
• Insulation (an uninsulated area with drafts will have vastly different requirements than a well insulated area)
• Basic Sizing based on Square Footage alone:
• 12k BTU = up to 500 square feet
• 18k BTU = 450 to 750 square feet
• 24k BTU = 700 to 1000 square feet
• 36k BTU = 950 to 1500 square feet

No, it is not. The Advantage must be installed by a certified HVAC technician.

The max length depends on the unit that is being installed.

• DIY Single Zone: 75ft
• DIY 18k-48k Multi Zone Condensers w/ One Air Handler: 75ft
• DIY Multi Zone Combined Total:
• 2-Zone: 123ft
• 3-Zone: 172ft
• 4-Zone: 221ft
• 5-Zone: 221ft

Because of the extra filter density required to meet the HEPA specification, HEPA filters only work well at low airflow levels. It is not practical to fit a HEPA filter to a residential split-system air conditioner, as they deliver much greater airflow volumes than dedicated air purifiers. Air flow restriction from a HEPA filter, could cause under-performance or failure in a mini-split or other residential split-system air conditioner.

On the Multi-Zone:

• Indoors – at the thermostat – on Multi-Zone units the temperature range for cooling can be from 62F to 90F and heating from 32F to 86F.
• However, the 3rd Gen Multi-Zone 27k and 36k condensers operational range for heating is -13F to 86F (outside temperature), cooling is -13F to 122F (outside temperature).

On the Single-Zone:

• Indoors – at the thermostat – on all Single Zone units the temperature range for cooling can be from 62.2F to 89.6F and heating from 32F to 86F.
• However, the 3rd Gen Single Zone 12K condenser operational range for heating is -13F to 86F (outside temperature), cooling is 5F to 109.4F; The 18k, 24k, 36k condensers operational ranges for heating are -4F to 86F (outside temperature), cooling is 5F to 122F.
