System SEER, EER and HSPF ratings under AHRI 210/240, heating rated at 8.3 °C (47 °F), as printed by YORK. Dimensions in inches: indoor unit width × depth × height; outdoor unit width × height × depth; net weights. The min. to max. ranges are those of the R Series outdoor unit in the 2020 catalogue. YORK’s per-form documents can give slightly different ranges: we confirm the system’s range in the quote. YORK requires separate power for the indoor and outdoor units.

AirGreen × YORK
YORK designs the ducted unit; AirGreen lays out the ducts.
AirGreen measures the duct route and grille resistance, checks that the duct system stays within YORK’s static pressure range, then installs everything.
What YORK brings
- Medium static pressure0.12 to 0.5 in. W.G. depending on size (later edition).
- DWCR wall controlSupplied with the unit.
- Built-in condensate pumpTo a 1 in. drain, according to YORK.
What AirGreen brings
- Sold and installed by AirGreenIn Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore and the North Shore.
- Free visitWe measure the installation space, the electrical service, and the route for the refrigerant lines and the drain.

03 · Static pressure
How far the ducted unit can push air through the ducts.
Available static pressure says how much duct and grille resistance the fan can overcome. YORK published it twice, with different values.

- YORK describes the R Series ducted unit as medium static pressure (“Medium static pressure capability”).
- The two YORK catalogue editions do not give the same range: we use the later, more conservative one, and design the ducts accordingly.
- We measure the duct route and grille resistance at the visit, before choosing the size.
04 · Features
What YORK builds into the ducted unit.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about the YORK ducted unit.
Can the R Series ducted unit replace an electric ducted furnace?
Not always: it delivers air through ducts, but YORK rates it at medium static pressure: 0.12 to 0.5 in. W.G. depending on size in the later edition. For an existing duct system, we measure its resistance before proposing anything. If the furnace burns gas or oil, its removal is handled by a partner holding the required RBQ licence.
What efficiency does the ducted unit have?
16 SEER at all six sizes, with an HSPF of 9 to 10. The R Series’ “up to 20 SEER” comes from the cassette, at 24,000 and 30,000 BTU/h.
How is it controlled?
With the DWCR wired wall control, supplied; the DWCR2 is offered as an option.
Does the ducted unit heat alone all winter?
No: its heating range stops at −18 °C (0 °F), like the whole R Series. We keep the existing backup heat or plan one in the quote, depending on the house.
Does the R Series ducted unit qualify for LogisVert?
No: none of the 6 AHRI numbers on our listings is on
