ACiQ 2 Ton Ceiling Mounted Ducted Air Handler Variable-Speed 230V R454B

The ACiQ 2 Ton Ceiling Mounted Ducted Air Handler, often called the "pancake" air handler for its low-profile shape, is engineered for R454B refrigerant systems and connects directly to standard ductwork. Its slim, ceiling-mounted design makes it a great fit for drop ceilings, attics, and other tight spaces where a traditional upright air handler won't fit, making it especially popular for multi-family and space-constrained installations. Paired with an ACiQ High Efficiency inverter condenser, this unit delivers quiet, efficient variable-speed comfort backed by durable galvanized-steel construction and easy service access.
