Long Product Description

MRCOOL® VersaPro® 1.5 Ton Dual Fuel Central Ducted HVAC System

Get the flexibility of an electric heat pump and the powerful heating performance of a high-efficiency gas furnace in one central ducted system.

This MRCOOL® VersaPro® dual fuel bundle combines an 18,000 BTU variable-speed heat pump condenser, an 80,000 BTU input two-stage 96% AFUE gas furnace, and a 1.5–2 ton pre-charged R-454B indoor coil.

The result is a versatile heating and cooling solution designed to provide efficient comfort throughout the year while utilizing your home’s existing ductwork.

18,000 BTU Variable-Speed Heat Pump

At the heart of the system is the MVP-18-HP-C-230A00-O VersaPro Central Ducted Heat Pump Condenser.

With a rated cooling and heating capacity of 18,000 BTU, this 1.5-ton condenser uses DC inverter technology to adjust operation based on changing heating and cooling demand rather than relying solely on traditional fixed-speed operation.

Performance ratings include:

18.8 SEER2
11 EER2
9.1 HSPF2 Region IV
7 HSPF2 Region V

The side-discharge condenser also operates at a rated sound level of 55 dBA, providing powerful performance from a compact outdoor unit.

Dual Fuel Heating

This system combines two different sources of heat.

During suitable outdoor conditions, the VersaPro heat pump can provide efficient electric heating. The system also includes the MGM96EE080B3NB gas furnace, providing powerful gas heating when called for by the system’s controls.

This dual fuel configuration gives homeowners the benefit of heat-pump efficiency along with the heating capability of a high-efficiency gas furnace.

80,000 BTU 96% AFUE Two-Stage Gas Furnace

The included VersaPro gas furnace provides:

80,000 BTU input
76,000 BTU output
96% AFUE
Two-stage operation
ECM blower motor
3/4 HP blower motor

Its two-stage design allows the furnace to better match heating demand, while the ECM blower provides efficient air movement throughout the home’s duct system.

The furnace is configured for up-flow or horizontal installation and supports left- or right-side gas and electrical connections.

Natural gas operation is standard, with conversion to propane available using the appropriate optional LP conversion kit. That is included. 

Pre-Charged R-454B Indoor Coil

The included MCMP1824BOTB is a 1.5–2 ton, 17.5-inch cased indoor coil pre-charged with R-454B refrigerant.

It supports:

Upflow installation
Downflow installation
Horizontal installation

The coil features a TXV metering device, dual front drain connections, a built-in side drain pan for horizontal applications, and CoolGuard® corrosion-resistant aluminum coil technology.

An integrated A2L refrigerant leak detection sensor adds another important component for use with the system’s R-454B refrigerant.

R-454B Refrigerant

The VersaPro condenser and indoor coil utilize R-454B refrigerant, an A2L refrigerant developed as a lower-GWP alternative to older refrigerants used in residential HVAC systems.

The condenser is factory charged with 51.15 oz. of R-454B, while the indoor coil is also supplied pre-charged.

Flexible Line Set Options

The system uses:

Liquid line: 3/8”
Suction line: 3/4”

NV15-3834-O-A

NV25-3834-O-A

NV35-3834-O-A

NV50-3834-O-A

 

Depending on the installation configuration, compatible MRCOOL® No-Vac® Quick Connect® or appropriate standard HVAC line-set connections may be used.

Installation requirements vary by configuration. Always follow the applicable MRCOOL installation manuals and local codes.

Electrical Requirements

Heat Pump Condenser

208–230V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz
Minimum Circuit Ampacity: 16A
Maximum Fuse/Breaker: 20A

Gas Furnace

115V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz
Minimum Circuit Ampacity: 8A
Maximum Fuse/Breaker: 15A

The outdoor condenser and furnace have separate electrical requirements and should be installed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical codes.

Compact Side-Discharge Condenser

Unlike a traditional top-discharge outdoor condenser, the VersaPro uses a compact side-discharge design.

Condenser dimensions:

31.69” W × 21.81” H × 12.99” D

Net weight: 77 lbs

This compact footprint can make the system particularly attractive where outdoor installation space is limited.

Furnace Dimensions

17.52” W × 33.74” H × 28.74” D

Net weight: 139.5 lbs

Indoor Coil Dimensions

17.5” W × 18” H × 21” D

Net weight: 42 lbs

The 17.5-inch coil and 17.52-inch furnace cabinet create a properly coordinated cabinet-width combination for this bundle.
