Questions about this system?

Answers in seconds — tap a question below

Covers about 1800–2400 sq ft total, split across its indoor units — each head handles its own room, so you put the right capacity where you need it. Rule of thumb: ~20 BTU per sq ft, and 12,000 BTU = 1 ton (this system is 48,000 BTU (4-ton)). Want help splitting the zones? Our team can map it out.
12,000 BTU = 1 ton — "tons" is just the older way of stating capacity. So 24,000 BTU = 2 tons, 36,000 = 3 tons, and so on. This system is 48,000 BTU (4-ton). BTU tells you the capacity; SEER2 tells you the efficiency.
It uses R454B — the newest low-GWP eco refrigerant, so it's future-proof and efficient. The outdoor unit ships pre-charged for a standard line set, so most installs need no extra refrigerant; your licensed, EPA-608-certified installer verifies the charge and tops it off if your line set is longer.
Rated SEER2 24.0 — a strong efficiency number, and the higher it is the lower your energy bills. Its inverter compressor ramps up and down instead of cycling on/off, so it holds the temperature steadily, runs quietly, and uses less power than a standard AC or window unit.
Needs a dedicated 230V circuit, like a large household appliance, so it can deliver full capacity to larger rooms and multi-zone setups. Your licensed HVAC installer or electrician sets up the correct breaker and disconnect to meet local electrical code.
Yes — a big upgrade. It's far more efficient (inverter, SEER2 24.0) and much quieter, since the compressor sits outside instead of in your window or on the floor. It mounts permanently, doesn't block a window, and heats as well as cools year-round. Higher upfront cost, but lower bills and a longer lifespan.
Yes to all three. It's an inverter heat pump — cools in summer, heats in winter (even in the cold), far more efficiently than electric heaters. A Dry mode also pulls out humidity, so rooms feel cooler and less muggy.
Yes. Each indoor unit has its own remote/thermostat — set different temperatures or turn one off, so you only condition the rooms you use and save energy on the ones you're not. One outdoor unit powers them all, keeping install and running costs lower than separate systems per room.
Yes — WiFi is included, so you can set schedules, change the temperature, and even turn it on before you get home, all from the mobile app (and pair it with voice assistants). A standard remote is included too.
Ships as a complete set: CH-R48MES-230VO, CH-RSH18MFC, CH-RSH18MFC, CH-RSH18MFC. Everything arrives together — check the photos and specs for the full kit.
It should be installed by a licensed, EPA-608-certified HVAC professional — we don't recommend DIY installation. Handling refrigerant requires EPA Section 608 certification under U.S. law, and professional installation keeps the system safe, code-compliant, and your manufacturer warranty valid.
Yes — you get full inverter heat-pump technology and the same core features as premium brands without paying for the name, which is how we keep prices low. Shipping is free on U.S. orders over $300, and our team can help with sizing and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rooms can this system heat and cool?

This is a 3-zone system: one CH-R48MES-230VO outdoor unit powers three 18,000 Btu/h Universal Floor/Ceiling zones, each with its own remote so every room sets its own temperature. The outdoor unit connects up to 6 indoor units total.

Will it keep my home warm in winter?

Yes — it's an inverter heat pump that keeps heating in outdoor temperatures as low as -13°F, still producing 36,000 Btu/h of heat at 5°F.

What's included in the box?

The CH-R48MES-230VO outdoor condenser (48,000 BTU), three× 18,000 Btu/h indoor unit (CH-RSH18MFC), and the built-in Wi-Fi Smart Kit. At checkout you add a line-set installation kit (copper line set, communication cable, drain line) for each zone.

What electrical service does it need?

208/230V single-phase power on a dedicated circuit for the outdoor unit — minimum circuit ampacity 34 A, maximum breaker/fuse 40 A. Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel.

How far can the indoor units be from the outdoor unit?

Up to 262.4 ft of line total across all zones, and up to 114.8 ft to any single indoor unit. It ships pre-charged for 150 ft.

What's the warranty?

A 7-year compressor / 5-year parts limited warranty from Cooper & Hunter. Register within 60 days of installation by a licensed HVAC professional to keep it valid.
