MODEL: CENTRAL-36-HP-230B00-O 

Powerful 3 Ton Central Comfort. Built for Demanding Seasons.

The MRCOOL® Hyper Heat 36K BTU 3 Ton Central Ducted Heat Pump Split System – 2nd Gen is designed for homeowners who want powerful year-round heating and cooling through a clean, central ducted setup. Instead of using individual wall-mounted units, this system connects to compatible ductwork to help distribute conditioned air more evenly throughout the home.

With up to 17.4 SEER2 efficiency, Hyper Heat performance, and advanced DC inverter variable-speed technology, this system is built to deliver strong comfort while helping reduce unnecessary energy use. The inverter-driven design allows the system to adjust output more intelligently, helping maintain steadier indoor temperatures compared with older single-speed systems.

Built for demanding climates, this 36K system is engineered to provide dependable heating and cooling in outdoor temperatures ranging from -22°F to 122°F. That makes it a strong choice for homes that need powerful winter heating, efficient summer cooling, and consistent comfort across changing seasons.

The complete system includes the MRCOOL® 2nd Gen Hyper Heat 36K condenser, a matching MRCOOL® VersaPro® 36K multi-position air handler, and the MRCOOL® Smart Thermostat, giving homeowners a complete central ducted solution with modern comfort control, flexible installation options, and whole-home performance in one matched package.

Questions, answered

Everything homeowners ask before buying a MRCOOL® system.

Installation

Do I need an HVAC technician to install this?

No. MRCOOL® DIY systems are designed for homeowner installation. The pre-charged Quick Connect® line set means there's no refrigerant handling, no vacuum pump, and no special tools or license required.

How long does installation take?

Most single-zone systems go in within a few hours: mount the indoor air handler, set the outdoor condenser, connect the pre-charged line set, and power it on.

Do I need an electrician?

The system needs a dedicated circuit. Most homeowners have a licensed electrician add the breaker and disconnect — everything else you can do yourself.

Sizing & compatibility

What BTU size do I need?

As a rule of thumb: up to 400 sq ft → 9–12K BTU, 400–600 sq ft → 12–18K, 600–1,000 sq ft → 18–24K. Use the room-size guide above and factor in insulation, ceiling height and sun exposure.

Will it heat in winter?

Yes — these are heat pumps, so they heat and cool. Many MRCOOL® systems keep heating in sub-freezing temperatures; check each model's spec sheet for its low-temperature heating range.

115V or 230V — which do I need?

9K–12K units are usually 115V (standard outlet circuit); 18K and larger are typically 230V. The voltage is shown in the product options and specifications.

Warranty & support

What warranty is included?

MRCOOL® systems carry manufacturer warranty coverage — typically 5–10 years on major components when you register your system after installation.

How do I get help choosing or installing?

Email support@coolheatdirect.com — our U.S. team replies within one business day with sizing, voltage and compatibility help.

Shipping & returns

How fast does it ship?

Most products ship in 3–5 business days with free curbside delivery in the continental U.S. The freight carrier calls to schedule your delivery.

Can I return it?

Returns are accepted within 30 days on new, unopened items in original packaging. A restocking fee may apply to HVAC equipment — we always confirm before issuing a return authorization.
