Heat Pump
Heat Pump
These commercial heat pump outdoor condensers deliver reliable heating and cooling for small to mid-size offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-tenant spaces. Designed for replacement or new installs on rooftops or ground pads, they offer budget-friendly performance with pro-grade components at prices typically ranging from $2,760 to $6,249. Installation by a licensed contractor is required for safety, compliance, and warranty.
Available capacities span 3, 4, 5, 7.5, and 10 tons, covering approximately 36,000-120,000 BTU/h. Models use R-410A refrigerant and feature SEER2-rated efficiency (ratings vary by model). Choose the right tonnage to match the building’s load calculation and distribution system for optimal comfort and energy control. These condensers pair with compatible heat pump air handlers or indoor coils to create a complete split system.
Select from two subcategories to streamline your project: 3-5 Ton units for small commercial suites and light retrofit needs, or 7.5-10 Ton units for larger open areas and higher occupant loads. Larger frames often require different electrical service and airflow considerations, while all sizes are engineered for straightforward rooftop or ground-mounted replacement with proper clearances and vibration isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What tonnage should I choose for my commercial space?
Have a licensed contractor run a load calculation. Options span 3-10 tons (≈36,000-120,000 BTU/h) to match building size, usage, and climate.
-
Are these Daikin commercial heat pump condensers compatible with my existing air handler?
They must be properly matched (AHRI-rated) for refrigerant type, coil size/metering, and controls. Your contractor will confirm a compatible pairing.
-
Do these R-410A commercial condensers require a licensed contractor for installation?
Yes. Professional installation is required for code compliance, warranty, correct charging/evacuation, and commissioning.
-
What are the power and electrical requirements for 7.5-10 ton models?
Electrical specs vary by unit and are often three-phase. Verify nameplate MCA/MOP and provide a dedicated disconnect and correctly sized wiring.
-
Are these units suitable for both heating and cooling in light commercial applications?
Yes. As reversible heat pumps, they provide heating and cooling when paired with a compatible indoor unit.
-
What is the difference between 3-5 ton and 7.5-10 ton categories?
Capacity, cabinet size, airflow, and electrical service differ. Smaller units fit light suites; larger units serve bigger zones and higher loads.
-
Do these units meet current refrigerant regulations for R-410A?
Yes. They operate on R-410A and meet current requirements; follow local codes and upcoming transition timelines as applicable.
-
What additional accessories or controls are needed to complete the system?
A matched air handler/coil, thermostat or BAS interface, line set, filter-drier, pad/curb, disconnect, and proper fittings are typically required.
-
Can these units be roof- or ground-mounted?
Yes. They are suitable for rooftop or ground installations with proper support, clearances, and vibration isolation.
-
What maintenance keeps performance and warranty on track?
Quarterly filter and coil checks, coil cleaning as needed, and annual charge/electrical inspections by a licensed technician.
