High Efficiency, Room-by-Room Cooling

With SEER ratings up to 20.4 (model dependent), the AC17DK series is significantly more efficient than older ductless and window units. By cooling only the spaces you actually use, and avoiding duct losses, you can enjoy:

• Lower cooling costs compared to older or oversized systems.
• Better comfort in problem rooms like top-floor bedrooms and home offices.
• More consistent temperatures without the hot and cold spots common with central systems.

Each indoor unit is paired with its own outdoor condenser, giving you precise, zoned cooling exactly where you need it.

Quiet Performance – Indoors and Out

AC17DK indoor units are designed for very low sound levels, with published indoor sound pressure ratings starting in the mid-20 dB(A) range on the quietest setting (model dependent). That’s quieter than many household background noises, making this series suitable for:

• Bedrooms and nurseries
• Home offices and studios
• Living rooms and open-concept spaces

The outdoor unit is also engineered for low noise, which is especially important in dense GTA neighbourhoods and condo applications.

Compact Indoor & Outdoor Units

Outdoor units are compact as well, with footprints that work well on patios, balconies or small pads beside the home. This makes the series particularly well-suited for:

• Condos and townhomes
• Older homes without central ductwork
• Finished basements and additions

Perfect for GTA Homes and Light Commercial Spaces

In the Greater Toronto Area, the Direct Air AC17DK wall-mounted ductless air conditioner is ideal for:

• Cooling a single hot room that your central AC never seems to reach.
• Condo and apartment units where central systems are not an option.
• Small offices, salons, studios and treatment rooms that need independent temperature control.

Paired with professional installation, this series offers an excellent mix of efficiency, quiet comfort and feature set at a very competitive price point.

Installation & Warranty

To get the best performance and maintain warranty coverage, the AC17DK ductless system should always be installed and commissioned by a qualified HVAC technician. Proper line sizing, evacuation, charging and electrical work are critical for long-term reliability.

Direct Air backs the series with solid compressor and parts warranty coverage (terms vary by region and program). Your installer can provide the most up-to-date details on warranty and any available rebates or incentives.
