DIRECT AIR × AirGreen · 18 SEER

18 SEER: the simple wall unit, for cooling and backup heating.

It comes in 4 sizes from 9,000 to 24,000 BTU/h. Its 2022 brochure states heating down to −20 °C, a remote that doubles as a thermostat and an electric base-pan heater. What it does not have: no ENERGY STAR or NEEP listing, so no published cold-weather figure and no LogisVert. Here is who it makes sense for.

What it is, what it is not

A good air conditioner that also heats. Not a deep-cold heat pump.

What it is
  • A variable-speed wall unit from 9,000 to 24,000 BTU/h, SEER 17.6 to 19.3 per the brochure (former SEER standard)
  • Published moisture removal: 0.9 to 2.4 L/h depending on size
  • A remote with a thermostat function, a 7-speed indoor fan and a silent mode (26 dB(A) at 12,000)
  • An electric base-pan heater and smart compressor preheating, for winter
What it is not
  • ENERGY STAR certified or NEEP listed: its four AHRI numbers appear with neither
  • Eligible for LogisVert: the program requires ENERGY STAR certification
  • Rated in deep cold: the brochure gives a rated heating capacity with no test temperature

Who is it for?

Four questions to know whether the 18 SEER is the right one.

If even one box applies, another DIRECT AIR series will serve you better. Otherwise the 18 SEER remains a sensible choice.

The brochure sheet

The 18 SEER figures, size by size, as Direct Air printed them.

These figures are listed with neither ENERGY STAR nor NEEP. The SEER follows the former standard, which is not comparable to the other series’ SEER2.

Questions

What people ask us, and what the sources say.

Is the 18 SEER ENERGY STAR certified?

No. As of October 26, 2026, its four AHRI numbers (203490394, 203490395, 10306422 and 10306423) are listed with neither ENERGY STAR nor NEEP.

Does it qualify for LogisVert?

No. LogisVert requires an ENERGY STAR certified unit; the 18 SEER is not on the October 14, 2026 list. For LogisVert, see the DA25 (12,000 to 24,000 BTU/h).

Is there a 115 V 18 SEER?

The 2022 brochure lists 115 V for the 9,000 and 208–230 V for the other sizes. The model on our product page carries the “-230” suffix: we confirm its voltage with Direct Air before quoting.

What is the 18 SEER warranty?

The brochure states 5 years on the compressor and 5 years on parts. It does not mention labour.

Down to what temperature does it heat?

The brochure says “heating capacity up to −20 °C”. It does not give the heat produced at that temperature, and no certified data is published for that point.
