Three things to know before you pick your console.
The 12,000 blows from the top and the bottom.
On the 12,000 DLFSFA, air leaves from the top and the bottom of the console; a top-only outlet is also possible. The 18,000 and 24,000 do not have this double outlet.
Catalogue 328-32-0499-00, 05/2018, p. 29There is no Wi-Fi kit for the 12,000 console.
The manufacturer offers the KSAIF0401AAA kit for consoles of 18,000 and up only. For the 12,000 you stay with the wireless remote, supplied, or an optional wall controller.
Catalogues 328-32-0499-00, p. 29, and DLS-001-AR-01, p. 69The same 18,000 or 24,000 console mounts on the ceiling.
The manufacturer allows both mountings for these sizes: on the floor under a window, or on the ceiling when the floor must stay clear.
Catalogue DLS-001-AR-01, 03/2024, p. 34What people ask us about floor consoles.
Why a console rather than a wall head?
It sits low, often where the electric baseboard was, and heats the room from the floor up. It helps under a window or when the upper wall is not free. We compare both at the visit.
Will it fit under my window?
The DLFSFA is 23.62 in (600 mm) tall in 12,000 and 26.57 in (675 mm) in 18,000 and 24,000. We measure the height under the window and the space around it at the visit.
Why does the 16,000 D5FSFA have an 18,000 outdoor unit?
It is the pairing certified by ENERGY STAR (3556060) and listed by NEEP (391048): D5FSFAH16XAK console and D5CSHAH18AAK outdoor unit. The heat and the amount shown here are those of this system.
Is it loud?
The manufacturer prints 34 to 45 dB(A) for the 12,000 DLFSFA, from low to high fan speed, and 46 to 52 dB(A) for the 24,000.
What about LogisVert?
It is indicative and taken from our product sheets: for example $1,152 for the 12,000 DLFSFA and $1,704 for the 16,000 D5FSFA. The amount for the 9,000 D5FSFA is to be confirmed. Only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount granted.
How do you choose the size?
At the visit: floor area, windows, insulation and how the room is used. Then we choose the console’s spot so the air covers the room.
A console in the right spot, under the right window.
We look at the wall, the window and the line-set route, then choose the size and the mounting. You get a quote with the system and its AHRI number.
