7.5 - 12.5 Ton

Designed for licensed contractors and property managers, these light commercial air handlers deliver reliable air distribution for offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-tenant buildings. They integrate cleanly with split-system condensers or rooftop equipment to meet ventilation and comfort needs while keeping projects on budget.

Available in 7.5-ton and 10-ton capacities (approximately 90,000 and 120,000 BTU), with 12.5-ton coverage in this category for larger zones when specified. R-32 refrigerant compatibility supports modern, lower-GWP installations and helps optimize capacity with the properly matched outdoor unit. SEER2 performance is determined by the outdoor condenser and coil match; your installing professional will size and select to meet code and efficiency targets.

Each unit is engineered for steady airflow, service access, and balanced static pressure in ducted applications. Verify electrical service, controls, and accessories for your site before ordering, including voltage/phase, filter sections, and optional electric heat where applicable. Professional installation and commissioning are required to ensure proper charge, airflow, and warranty compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What applications are 7.5 to 12.5 ton commercial air handlers best suited for?

    Mid-size commercial spaces such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, houses of worship, and small warehouses where robust airflow and zoning are required.

  • Are these Daikin air handlers compatible with R-32 systems only?

    They are designed for R-32 compatibility and should be paired with matching R-32 outdoor units. Always follow manufacturer-approved matchups.

  • Can I choose between 7.5-ton and 10-ton capacities in this category?

    Yes. This category includes 7.5-ton (about 90,000 BTU) and 10-ton (about 120,000 BTU) models to fit common light commercial loads.

  • Do these air handlers require professional installation and commissioning?

    Yes. Licensed contractor installation is required to verify airflow, refrigerant charge, controls, and warranty compliance.

  • What equipment do these air handlers typically pair with (condensers/rooftops)?

    They pair with matched split-system condensers or rooftop equipment designed for the same refrigerant and capacity.

  • Are there any voltage or phase requirements I should verify before ordering?

    Confirm nameplate voltage and phase for your project. Many light commercial systems use 208/230V or 460V three-phase power.

  • What are the shipping dimensions and lead times for these commercial air handlers?

    Units ship via freight on a pallet. Dimensions and lead times vary by model and season; your contractor can confirm at time of order.

  • How does R-32 impact efficiency and environmental considerations compared to R-410A?

    R-32 has a lower GWP and can improve system efficiency and capacity potential when properly matched and commissioned.

  • Do these units include electric heat or accessories?

    Some models offer optional electric heat kits, filter sections, and controls. Check model-specific accessories before purchase.

  • How do I size airflow (CFM) for my space?

    Your contractor will perform a load calculation. As a general guideline, many systems target around 400 CFM per ton, adjusted for design conditions.
