MRCOOL® Signature 5 Ton 60K BTU Split System Multi-Position Air Handler, MCAEAMPEF60E21AA

Product Description 

MRCOOL® Signature Series 60K Multi-Position Air Handler (230V)

The MRCOOL® Signature Series 60K Multi-Position Air Handler is built for homeowners and installers who need maximum airflow, quiet operation, and installation flexibility in a full 5-ton residential HVAC system. Designed to pair seamlessly with MRCOOL® Signature Series top-discharge air conditioners and heat pump condensers, this unit supports upflow, downflow, and horizontal installations, making it an excellent fit for new construction, system replacements, and space-restricted retrofits.

At the core of the system is a high-efficiency ECM blower motor, delivering steady airflow while reducing electrical consumption compared to traditional PSC motors. When matched with a compatible condenser or heat pump, the system provides consistent heating and cooling, improved humidity control, and quieter performance across the home.

The cabinet is constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel to resist corrosion, dents, and long-term wear. Inside, copper “A” coils with aluminum fins maximize heat transfer and moisture removal, helping maintain even temperatures and indoor comfort. Internal thermal insulation reduces condensation and dampens sound, keeping operation quiet at just 57 dBA, even under higher load conditions.

Installation is straightforward thanks to an installer-friendly layout that reduces labor time and simplifies service access. A built-in filter rack allows for quick maintenance, while support for optional electric heat kits adds supplemental heating capability in colder climates. The system is also compatible with most third-party smart thermostats, giving homeowners full control without proprietary restrictions.

Backed by a 10-year limited parts warranty, the MRCOOL® Signature Series 60K Multi-Position Air Handler delivers powerful performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability for large residential HVAC systems.
