This is a single-zone ductless mini split heat pump for cooling and heating one room without ductwork. It's built for homeowners adding comfort to a bedroom, addition, or garage that central air doesn't reach.
The Air-Con Blizzard Series pairs a wall-mounted indoor head (ABZEM4H4S12) with a matched outdoor condenser (ABZCI4H4S12) as an AHRI-certified system, rated 12,000 BTU/h at 25 SEER. This unit is Energy Star qualified per manufacturer documentation. Note: If you would like to review the manufacturer Product Specifications, Warranty, Brochure, etc., for this system, please refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
System Components
- Outdoor condenser unit: Air-Con Blizzard ABZCI4H4S12 (12,000 BTU/h, 25 SEER, 208-230V, inverter-driven heat pump)
- Indoor unit: Air-Con Blizzard ABZEM4H4S12 (wall-mounted, EM series)
- Included accessories: wireless remote control, 15-foot copper lineset, 15-foot signal and power electrical cables
Installation Requirements & Accessories
- Voltage: 208-230V — this system is NOT compatible with 115V-only circuits
- Lineset: 15-foot copper lineset is included in this kit (not sold separately for this configuration)
- Electrical: 15-foot signal and power cabling included; final circuit wiring and disconnect must meet local electrical code
- Professional installation required — this is not a pre-charged, no-vacuum DIY system
- Wall mounting bracket/plate inclusion is not explicitly confirmed in manufacturer data — [NEEDS VERIFICATION], refer to Resources tab
- Not a listed match for other Air-Con series indoor/outdoor model families (e.g., Blue Hyper, SD Premium, Sky Pro, Multi Split Series) — use only the matched ABZCI4H4S12 / ABZEM4H4S12 pair
Pro-Installer Tip
Flare connections on the 15-foot lineset are the most common source of slow refrigerant leaks and eventual "E1"-style communication or low-charge fault codes if they're under- or over-torqued. Use a digital torque wrench set to the fitting's rated spec rather than "feel," and confirm the joint holds a deep vacuum below 500 microns with a micron gauge before opening the service valves. This is not optional field practice — EPA Section 608 requires certified technicians to verify evacuation and prevent refrigerant venting, and a properly torqued, vacuum-verified joint is what keeps this system's rated 25 SEER efficiency intact over its service life.
Key Benefits
- Inverter-driven compressor for variable speed comfort and steadier temperatures than single-stage systems
- Heat pump operation — heats and cools from one outdoor unit
- Low-ambient rated: functional cooling down to 5° F and heating down to -4° F outdoor ambient
- Dehumidifying function that manages moisture removal at low power draw
- Energy Star qualified per manufacturer documentation
- Installation-ready kit reduces separate lineset/wiring purchases for a 15-foot run

FAQ
What breaker size do I need for this system?
[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — Breaker size is not published in the source specifications for this model. Confirm the required breaker/amperage against the unit's nameplate or the manufacturer's installation manual before wiring.
Is professional installation required to keep the warranty valid, or is this a true DIY kit?
This is not a pre-charged DIY (no-vac) kit. It ships as an installation-ready kit with a 15-foot copper lineset and 15-foot signal/power cabling, but the system still requires brazed or flared refrigerant connections, evacuation, and charge verification by a licensed HVAC professional with EPA Section 608 certification.
Is the line set included, and if not, what size do I need to buy?
Yes. This kit includes a 15-foot copper lineset and 15-foot signal and power electrical cables along with the indoor unit, outdoor unit, and remote control. Additional lineset length is not included if your run exceeds 15 feet.
Will the ceiling cassette fit between standard 16-inch on-center joists?
This configuration is a wall-mounted indoor unit (model ABZEM4H4S12), not a ceiling cassette, so joist spacing does not apply. It mounts to a wall using the manufacturer's mounting plate.
Does this system work in cold climates (low-ambient heating)?
Yes. The Blizzard Series is rated for low-ambient operation down to 5° F for cooling and -4° F for heating, per manufacturer specifications.
Compliance & Warranty
Installation by a licensed HVAC professional is required to maintain warranty. Refrigerant line evacuation, flare torquing, and charge verification must be performed by a technician holding valid EPA Section 608 certification. For full warranty terms, coverage periods, and registration requirements, refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above on this page.
