The Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35k runs five heads off one 208/230V outdoor unit at a certified nominal SEER2 21.5, EER2 12.2, HSPF2 11.3 on current R-454B refrigerant. From the Hyper Heat line, its rated heating rises in the cold: 36,000 BTU at 47F climbing to 38,500 BTU at 17F and 37,000 BTU at 5F.

The HSPF2 of 11.3 is strong, and that is genuine low-temperature heating that gains output as it gets colder, though the system is not ENERGY STAR certified. It is a value-focused pick that sits below the top premium brands on brand and dealer support.

Professional installation required; dealer-quoted.

Sizing note: do not just add up the rooms. Multi-zone condensers have a maximum total connected capacity, and connecting more head capacity than the unit is rated for is a common installer mistake that hurts efficiency and comfort. Match total head capacity to the condenser's rating.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install the Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (KMHR536-H224-4) myself, or do I need a pro?
Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (KMHR536-H224-4) is built for professional installation: the line set must be flared, evacuated, and charged, which requires EPA-certified refrigerant handling. Installing it outside the manufacturer's requirements can void the warranty, so budget for a qualified HVAC installer.
Will the Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (KMHR536-H224-4) keep heating in a cold winter?
The manufacturer publishes 37,000 BTU/h of heating output at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -22 F. Certified heating efficiency is 11.3 HSPF2. Match those numbers against your climate's design temperature - in cold regions, output at 5F matters far more than the nameplate capacity measured at 47F.
What electrical circuit does the Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (KMHR536-H224-4) need?
Published electrical requirements: 230 V voltage, 37 A minimum circuit ampacity, and 40 A maximum breaker or fuse sizing. Confirm the final circuit against the unit nameplate and local code with a licensed electrician.
How far can the outdoor unit be from the indoor head?
The published maximum line-set length is 262.4 ft. Longer runs than the included set allows typically mean added refrigerant and a pro visit, so measure the planned routing before ordering.
What warranty does the Klimaire KMHR Hyper Heat Series 5-Zone 35,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (KMHR536-H224-4) carry?
The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Best case: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (registration/installation terms). Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
