High capacity, high efficiency
The ACIQ-48ZPL-HP230B Condenser, when matched with the a wall mounted, ceiling cassette, concealed duct or floor mount air handler, has enough capacity for large rooms. The dual rotary compressor and variable inverter technology give this system exceptionally high efficiency ratings.
Please note that this model of equipment does not have quick connect line set connectors and is not a DIY unit. Installation materials such as line sets, control wire, drain hose, whip and disconnect are not included, but are available at additional cost in the Accessories section on this page. You will need a professional to add more refrigerant and vacuum the lines as needed. The automated cleaning function will clean your system, but it is recommended to periodically clean the unit's filters manually.
Extreme Heat Base Pan Heater Technology
Each ACiQ condenser has integrated Extreme Heat technology to maximize heat performance in extreme cold weather. Extended heat pump performance (HyperHeat) harnesses the power of inverter condenser with outdoor temp sensing, variable refrigerant flow and variable condenser fan speed to maximize heat extraction all the way down to -22°F. Plus, every Extreme Heat ACiQ condenser includes a base pan heater to keep ice from collecting on the condenser coil during heat pump operation.


Quality Construction
State-of-the-Art manufacturing is behind every ACiQ product, resulting in quiet, effective operation over a long service life. Most models have low ambient heating and cooling.
Highest Efficiency
ACiQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Every ACiQ condenser features a variable inverter twin rotary compressor, lowering wear and increasing performance. Compare specs against other brands in the same price category, and you will agree, ACiQ is the best value.


Longer life, longer warranty
Intelligent design goes into every element of ACiQ’s manufacturing ensuring flawless performance for years. Low friction, variable inverter twin rotary compressors give bulletproof reliability. Register equipment at ACiQ.com to extend warranty protection to 7 years parts, 12 years compressor.
Self Cleaning Condenser
ACiQ condensers stay clean and efficient with self-cleaning technology built right in. At the end of each cycle, the fan reverses direction and blows air out the back of the unit — helping remove leaves, dirt, and debris before buildup can begin.
Ceiling Cassette Grille (24K-48K MC Models)
Designed for seamless integration with HH-MC series ceiling cassette air handlers (24,000–48,000 BTU), this grille delivers efficient airflow and a clean, low-profile finish. Ideal for residential or light commercial spaces, it ensures quiet operation and optimal air distribution.
48,000 BTU ACIQ Platinum Single Zone Ceiling Cassette Mini Split Air Handler - R454B | 230V
Mini Split systems are great, but what if you don't want the air handler on your wall? ACIQ offers the ACIQ-24CC-HH-MB ceiling cassette air handler for customers who want a more hidden appearance and more centralized air distribution. Ceiling Cassette air handlers provide the same high-efficiency heating and cooling of a regular wall-mounted unit, and come with an included hand-held remote control. Once the ceiling cassette is mounted in the ceiling, only the grille is visible for the most understated appearance.
Installation Considerations
Ceiling Cassettes are flush-mounted, which requires removal of enough ceiling material to create a cavity for the unit. The 24k Ceiling cassette is large format (see specs below) and will require modifications to ceiling framing in most cases. Additionally, Ceiling Cassettes have factory-installed, onboard pumps to lift the condensation produced by the unit during cooling. The pump can lift the condensation up to 14. From there, it will be necessary to construct a PVC drain system to route the condensation to a safe wastewater location. Refrigerant and wiring connections are the same as the wall mounted units.
FEATURES
- 24,000 btu of Heating or Cooling
- Dry and Fan modes also available
- Good for a medium room in most climates
- 4 Way Air Supply for consistent room coverage
- Handheld remote included
- Decorative Grille included

Ceiling Cassette
Flush-mounted Ceiling Cassettes offer the most understated appearance of any ductless air handler type. They can be centrally located in the room, and deliver conditioned air in all four directions, with return air being brought in through the center. Ceiling Cassettes include a factory installed condensation pump.

Quiet Comfort
Every ACiQ system is precision engineered to quickly achieve set temperature and hold it there, no matter what the weather is outside. With whisper quiet indoor and outdoor units, ACiQ never intrudes on your peace and quiet.
