A slim ducted unit, concealed in the ceiling or at floor level.
The 9,000 and 12,000 BTU/h DLFSDA body is only 7.87 in (200 mm) thick. Pick the model and the mounting: you see the space it takes, its static pressure and its heat at -15 °C.
Where does the ducted unit hide, and how much room does it take?
Tap your model and the mounting. Measurements come from the manufacturer’s catalogue; heat from ENERGY STAR, NEEP or the catalogue, as shown under each result.

Body thickness printed by the manufacturer
The three D5FSDA (R-454B) have no printed dimensions in our documents. Size and location are decided at the visit, with the existing or new ductwork.

The 48,000 and 58,000 DLFLDA are paired with DLCLRA outdoor units: the 2018 catalogue (p. 52) lists them as not ENERGY STAR certified and prints 34,000 and 35,000 BTU/h maximum at -15 °C, SEER 17.4 and 18.0 (older ratings). The 36,000 DLFLDA is paired with the DLCLRBH36AAK, which is in neither catalogue. The four DLFSDA, ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, carry no LogisVert amount on our sheets: amounts to be confirmed.
Three ways the ducted unit adapts to your home.
A secondary drain pan lets the unit stand vertically.
Thanks to its built-in secondary drain pan, the DLFSDA can be mounted upright, concealed at floor or ceiling level depending on the space. So can the DLFLDA, in 36,000 and 48,000.
Catalogue DLS-001-AR-01, 03/2024, pp. 28 and 58A programmable wall controller comes in the box.
With the DLFSDA, the manufacturer supplies the KSACN0701AAA wired wall controller, 7-day programmable, on top of the wireless remote.
Catalogue DLS-001-AR-01, 03/2024, p. 28The return air connects at the rear or from below.
On the DLFSDA, and on the 36,000 and 48,000 DLFLDA, the manufacturer allows both return-air positions: we choose from the duct route.
Catalogue DLS-001-AR-01, 03/2024, pp. 28 and 58What people ask us about ducted units.
Ducted unit or central heat pump?
A ducted unit serves one or a few rooms through short ducts; its maximum static pressure runs from 0.20 to 0.80 in W.C. depending on the size. A central heat pump connects to a full duct system. We look at your ducts and rooms at the visit before choosing.
Is the condensate pump included?
Yes on the DLFSDA and the DLFLDA: a built-in pump lifts the water up to 29.5 in (750 mm) above the unit. For the D5FSDA, our documents do not say: we check before the quote.
Is it quiet?
The manufacturer prints 30 to 38 dB(A) for the 9,000 DLFSDA, from low to high fan speed, and 51 to 57 dB(A) for the 58,000 DLFLDA.
Is Wi-Fi possible?
Yes, with the optional KSAIF0401AAA kit, made for ducted units of every size. A 24 V interface for another brand’s thermostat disables the Wi-Fi module.
What about LogisVert?
It is indicative and taken from our product sheets: $1,152, $1,800 and $2,592 for the 12,000, 18,000 and 24,000 D5FSDA. The DLFSDA amounts are to be confirmed; the DLFLDA carry none. Only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount granted.
How do you choose the size?
At the visit: the rooms to serve, their windows and insulation, then the route and length of the ducts. The unit’s static pressure has to be enough for that duct run.
A hidden unit, ducts checked before the quote.
We find the spot for the unit, the route of the ducts and grilles, then choose the size. You get a quote with the system and its AHRI number.
