ACD Commodore23: up to 30 m of line, depending on size

The Commodore23 (OCD) is the only ACD wall series offered from 9,000 to 36,000 BTU. Its sheet publishes a maximum line of 15 m on the 9,000 and 30 m on the 30,000 and 36,000, and a 10 m height difference for all six sizes. Enter your run: the checker says which sizes accept it, the margin left and, for information, the refrigerant to add.

Three details on the Commodore23, from its AHRI certificates

22%

The Commodore23 9,000 heats 22% more than it cools, the widest gap in the series

Per its AHRI certificate 201863350, the Commodore23 9,000 gives 11,000 BTU/h of heating at 8.3 °C, 22% more than its 9,000 BTU/h of cooling; on the five other sizes the gap is 10% at most (calculated from their certificates).

33,600

The Commodore23 36,000 cools below the 36,000 in its name

The Commodore23 36,000 is rated at 33,600 BTU/h of cooling, below the 36,000 in its name, and 34,600 BTU/h of heating at 8.3 °C (AHRI certificate 202110510).

The Commodore23’s EER drops as the size grows

Per their AHRI certificates, the Commodore23’s EER at 35 °C goes from 14 (9,000) to 12.5 (12,000 to 24,000), 10.35 (30,000) and 8.2 (36,000). EER measures cooling efficiency at 35 °C outdoors.

04 · Questions

Your questions about the ACD Commodore23

What is the Commodore23’s heating limit?

ACD publishes −25 °C for the Commodore23 from 9,000 to 24,000: English sheet, text of the French sheet and INS515 manual. For the Commodore23 30,000 and 36,000, their manual gives −20 °C, and we use that figure. The table of the French sheet shows −20 °C for all six sizes; it is the only document that says so for 9,000 to 24,000.

Is the Commodore23 on the NEEP and ENERGY STAR lists?

No. None of the six Commodore23 units is on the ENERGY STAR list read on November 5, 2026, nor on the NEEP list, searched by AHRI number and by model. Without an ENERGY STAR record, they cannot be eligible for LogisVert under the Hydro-Québec rule in force since November 26, 2025. The Commodore23 18,000 and 24,000 were on the Hydro-Québec list of May 1, 2025, before that change.

Which AHRI certificates cover the Commodore23?

One per size, issued March 3, 2022 under the AHRI 210/240-2017 standard: 201863350 (9,000), 201863351 (12,000), 201863352 (18,000), 201863353 (24,000), 202110509 (30,000) and 202110510 (36,000). The Commodore23 SEER, HSPF and capacities shown here come from these six certificates.

What electrical circuit does a Commodore23 need?

The ACD sheet gives a 208-230 V, 60 Hz, single-phase supply, and the minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) with the maximum overcurrent protection (MOCP): 9 and 15 A for the Commodore23 9,000 and 12,000, 16 and 25 A for the 18,000, 20 and 30 A for the 24,000 and 30,000, 24 and 40 A for the 36,000. The circuit is confirmed at the visit.

Why a Commodore23 30,000 or 36,000?

They are the only ACD wall units above 24,000 BTU. Per their AHRI certificates, they give 28,400 and 34,600 BTU/h of heating at 8.3 °C; their sheet gives them 30 m of line, and their manual a heating limit of −20 °C. Their outdoor unit is also the loudest in the series: 62 and 65 dB(A) per the sheet.

AHRI certificates 202110509 and 202110510; ACD sheet and manual
Which Commodore23 size should I choose?

The Commodore23 is chosen at the on-site assessment of the room’s heating needs; the run then decides between two neighbouring sizes: at 22 m of line, for example, only the Commodore23 18,000 to 36,000 accept it per the sheet.
