Important

The outdoor unit is factory pre-charged with R454B (pre-charged) refrigerant, accommodating refrigerant line lengths of up to 25 ft. per circuit. If using a lineset that exceeds this length, additional refrigerant will need to be charged into the system during installation. This model can only be purchased with the 25 ft. lineset option. If needing a different length, please purchase additional linesets here.

Whole-Home Comfort in Three Rooms — One Outdoor Unit, Zero Contractors

This 3 zone mini split system heats and cools three separate rooms — up to 1,800 square feet total — from a single outdoor condenser. Each 12,000 BTU wall mount head runs independently with its own thermostat, remote, and WiFi app control, so the bedroom can sit at 68°F while the living room holds 72°F and the office stays off entirely. Three pre-charged R454B linesets ship in the box, which means no vacuum pump, no manifold gauges, and no EPA Section 608 license — the same DIY install as every Zone Air system, three times over.

The 27,000 BTU multi-zone outdoor unit is rated at 24 SEER2 with heating output down to -13°F, and it modulates across a 4,500-33,000 BTU/h heating range so it sips power when only one zone calls for comfort. One outdoor unit also means one set of penetrations, one electrical circuit, and one condenser on the pad instead of three.

Why You'll Love It

  • Three Rooms, One SystemCondition three bedrooms, a living room and two offices, or any three-room combination up to 600 sq ft per zone — all from one outdoor unit with independent control in every room.
  • True DIY InstallationThree pre-charged linesets with hand-tight quick-connect fittings. No refrigerant handling, no vacuum pump, no HVAC license. Installing three zones yourself saves thousands versus a contracted multi-zone install.
  • 24 SEER2 EfficiencyThe inverter-driven 27K condenser is rated 24 SEER2 and 10.5 HSPF2, and it throttles down when fewer zones are running instead of cycling on and off.
  • Cold Climate HeatingRated heating operation down to -13°F, so all three zones stay warm through real winters.
  • 5-Year Warranty ProtectionZone Air backs the whole system — all three heads and the condenser — with a 5-year parts and 7-year compressor warranty, plus 30-day returns on uninstalled systems.

What Makes It Different

Most multi-zone mini splits still require a technician to flare fittings, pull a vacuum on three line runs, and weigh in refrigerant. That multiplies install cost by the zone count.

  • Three Pre-Charged LinesetsEvery line run arrives factory-sealed with R454B already inside. Connect each head with hand tools, torque to spec, and check the joints with soapy water — the refrigerant circuit never opens.
  • Honest Capacity NumbersThe three heads connect 36,000 BTU/h of indoor capacity to a 27,000 BTU/h rated condenser — a standard multi-zone connection ratio that works because three rooms almost never demand full capacity at the same moment. Both numbers are printed in the spec table below.
  • One Circuit, Not ThreeA single 230V circuit on a 30A double-pole breaker powers the whole system, instead of three separate circuits for three single-zone units.

How It Works

  1. Mount Three HeadsInstall each wall mount indoor unit in its room and run the three pre-charged linesets through small wall penetrations back to the outdoor unit location.
  2. Connect and CheckHand-thread the quick-connect couplings on each of the three circuits, torque to spec, and test every joint with soapy water before startup.
  3. Power and PairWire the outdoor unit to a dedicated 230V circuit (a licensed electrician is recommended for the disconnect box), then pair each head to the WiFi app for room-by-room control.

Who It's For

This 3 zone system is for:

  • Homes with three rooms to condition — bedrooms, offices, living areas — that want one outdoor unit instead of three
  • DIYers comfortable with a weekend project who want to skip a $3,000-plus multi-zone installation bill
  • Additions, upstairs floors, and ranch layouts where three rooms share one side of the house
  • Cold climate homeowners who need dependable heat in every zone down to -13°F

Only conditioning two rooms? A Zone Air dual-zone system is the cleaner fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a 27,000 BTU condenser support 36,000 BTU of indoor units?
Multi-zone systems are designed with a connection ratio: the outdoor unit is rated 27,000 BTU/h while up to 39,000 BTU/h of indoor heads may be connected, per the manufacturer spec sheet. Three rooms almost never call for maximum capacity at the same time, so the inverter compressor shares output where it is needed. If all three zones do run flat out on a design-day, output tops out at the condenser rating.
Can each room run a different temperature?
Yes. Each 12K head has its own thermostat, remote, and WiFi app control. Zones heat or cool independently, and unused zones can be switched off entirely.
What electrical circuit does the 3 zone system need?
One dedicated 208-230V circuit on a 30A double-pole breaker powers the outdoor unit, which feeds all three indoor heads. No separate circuits per room are required.
Do I need an HVAC technician to install it?
No. All three linesets ship pre-charged with R454B refrigerant and use hand-tight quick-connect fittings, so no vacuum pump, gauges, or EPA license is required. A licensed electrician is recommended for the 230V disconnect wiring.
