Daikin Entra 12,000 BTU Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump 230V

The Daikin Entra Series 12,000 BTU Ductless Mini-Split effectively heats and cools up to 550 square feet of medium-sized spaces. The Daikin mini-split air conditioner features eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, inverter technology, and intuitive operating modes.

It is ideal for primary living areas like bedrooms, living rooms, and offices and spaces that a ducted HVAC doesn’t traditionally cover, like basements, attics, garages, and home additions.

• Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Uses the earth-friendly and efficient R-32 refrigerant. 
• Large Operating Range: Heats and cools even when outdoor temperatures are as low as 5 degrees F or as high as 115 degrees F. 
• Quiet Performance: It features whisper-quiet operation with an indoor noise level as low as 23 dB (similar to the sound of rustling leaves). 
• Anti-Corrosion Treatment: An anti-corrosion treatment on the heat exchanger extends the outdoor unit’s lifetime.
• Titanium Apatite Photocatalytic Filter: This filter breaks down irritating odors, removes pollutants, and fights the spread of some pathogens. 

Note: This air conditioning system requires a 1/4 x 3/8″ line set and must be installed by a licensed technician.
