Three Recessed 9.5K Cassettes, One Outdoor Unit — Hidden 3 Zone Comfort You Install Yourself

This 3 zone ceiling cassette mini split conditions three separate rooms — up to 1,425 square feet total, about 475 sq ft per zone — with nothing on the walls. Each 9,500 BTU Airframe cassette recesses flush into the ceiling and washes air in four directions at once, covering each room evenly from the center instead of blowing from one wall. Every zone has its own thermostat, remote, and WiFi control.

Three pre-charged R454B linesets ship in the box, so the refrigerant circuit never opens — no vacuum pump, no gauges, and no EPA Section 608 license. The 27,000 BTU multi-zone condenser is rated 24 SEER2 with heating down to -13°F, and one outdoor unit means one set of penetrations, one circuit, and one condenser on the pad for all three recessed cassettes.

Why You'll Love It

  • Three Rooms, Zero Wall BoxesThree flush ceiling cassettes disappear into the architecture — only a slim grille shows in each room, leaving every wall free for art, shelving, and furniture.
  • Even 4-Way AirflowCentered in each ceiling, every cassette distributes air in all four directions for balanced temperatures with no hot or cold corners.
  • Right-Sized 9.5K ZonesEach 9,500 BTU cassette covers up to 475 sq ft — ideal for bedrooms, offices, and finished rooms where a 12K head would be oversized.
  • True DIY, Even for CassettesThree pre-charged, quick-connect linesets take the refrigerant work off your plate. With the included mounting frames and basic tools, the recessed install is a homeowner job.
  • 5-Year Warranty ProtectionZone Air backs all three cassettes and the condenser with 5-year parts and 7-year compressor coverage, plus 30-day returns on uninstalled systems.

What Makes It Different

Most ceiling cassettes are sold strictly as pro-install equipment because they assume you will hire an HVAC tech to vacuum and charge three line runs. The Airframe pairs genuine recessed cassettes with pre-charged, quick-connect linesets so the hidden ceiling look no longer requires a contractor.

  • Three Pre-Charged LinesetsEvery line run arrives factory-sealed with R454B inside. Hand-connect the quick-connect fittings on each cassette, torque to spec, and the circuit is ready — no vacuum pump, no gauges, no HVAC license.
  • Closely Matched CapacityThree 9,500 BTU cassettes connect 28,500 BTU/h of indoor capacity to a 27,000 BTU/h rated condenser — a standard multi-zone ratio that works because three rooms rarely peak at once. Both numbers are in the spec table below.
  • One Circuit, Not ThreeA single 230V circuit on a 30A double-pole breaker powers all three cassettes, instead of three separate circuits for three single-zone units.

How It Works

  1. Frame and MountOpen access above each room through a drop-ceiling tile or joist bay, secure each cassette into the ceiling opening with the included frame, and set the outdoor unit on a pad or bracket. Route the three pre-charged linesets and connect the quick-connect fittings, testing every joint with soapy water before startup.
  2. Power and ConfigureWire the condenser to a dedicated 208–230V circuit (a licensed electrician is recommended for the disconnect box), then configure each cassette in the WiFi app for room-by-room control.
  3. Even, Hidden ComfortEach cassette heats or cools its room with balanced 4-way airflow — zoned, ductless comfort with the equipment tucked into the ceiling and no wasted energy on ductwork.

Who It's For

This 3 zone cassette system is for:

  • Finished homes and offices where three rooms should stay wall-box-free with a clean, architectural look
  • DIYers who want hidden ceiling cassettes without a $4,000-plus multi-zone install bill
  • Bedrooms, offices, and living spaces around 350–475 sq ft each
  • Cold climate homeowners who need dependable heat in every zone down to -13°F

Have larger rooms? The 3 zone 36K (12K×3) cassette system steps each zone up to 600 sq ft.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does each 9,500 BTU cassette cover?
Each Airframe cassette heats and cools up to 475 sq ft with even 4-way airflow, so three zones cover up to 1,425 sq ft total — ideal for three bedrooms, offices, or finished rooms.
How much ceiling depth do the cassettes need?
Each Airframe cassette is a 24" × 24" unit designed to recess into a drop-ceiling grid or between joists with adequate plenum depth. Confirm your ceiling cavity against the spec sheet before ordering.
How can a 27,000 BTU condenser support three 9,500 BTU cassettes?
Multi-zone systems use a connection ratio: the outdoor unit is rated 27,000 BTU/h while 28,500 BTU/h of indoor capacity is connected. Three zones rarely demand full output at once, so the inverter compressor shifts capacity to the zones calling for it.
Is this really a DIY install?
The refrigerant side is — all three linesets are pre-charged R454B with hand-tight quick-connect fittings, so no vacuum pump or EPA license is needed. Each cassette recesses into the ceiling with the included frame; plan for ceiling access, a helper for lifting, and a licensed electrician for the 230V disconnect.
