The Cooper & Hunter 36,000 BTU HS-Slim Ducted system is a high-static ducted mini split built for attics, crawl spaces, and closets where standard ductwork isn't available. This R454B hyper heat package (CH-RHP36LCU-230VO outdoor / CH-RS36LCDT-HS indoor) carries an ENERGY STAR rating, a 17.7 SEER2 efficiency score, and can heat at outdoor temperatures down to -22°F. It covers up to 1,800 sq ft in a single zone without the complexity of a full-size ducted system.
The hi-static design means this unit can push air through short duct runs — ideal when you want the aesthetics of a ducted system with the efficiency of an inverter mini split. Included items: built-in condensate pump, freon sensor, remote control, and wired WiFi thermostat. The CH-RS36LCDT-HS also supports vertical installation in 24K, 36K, and 48K configurations. Gold-coated coils, DC inverter compressor, and a 7-year compressor warranty make this a long-term investment in comfort.

What makes this a "hi-static" slim duct unit?
Hi-static refers to the unit's ability to overcome resistance in short duct runs. Standard mini split air handlers are low-static and can't push air through ducts effectively. The CH-RS36LCDT-HS is engineered to work with typical residential ductwork connections to distribute air through registers.
Does the condensate pump come pre-installed?
Yes, the condensate pump is built into the indoor unit. This eliminates the need to install a separate pump or plan for a gravity drain, which is particularly useful in attic or closet installations where drain access is limited.
Is vertical installation supported?
Yes. The HS-Slim Ducted series supports vertical installation for 24K, 36K, and 48K models. Horizontal installation is also an option. Refer to the installation manual for clearance and mounting requirements.
Can the wired thermostat be installed at the wall while the indoor unit is in the attic?
Yes, that is the intended configuration. The wired controller mounts on the wall in the conditioned space while the indoor unit is hidden in the attic or closet. The built-in WiFi on the thermostat allows app control in addition to the physical wall unit.
