The Midea Advantage Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24k (D5CMHAH24DAK) is the cold-climate four-zone, built to keep heating strong deep into winter. It runs four heads on one R-454B outdoor unit at a certified nominal SEER2 of 24 with EER2 13 and HSPF2 10, ENERGY STAR certified and AHRI cold-climate designated.

Cooling is rated at 24,000 BTU, with certified 47F/17F/5F heating of 25,000/23,600/25,000 BTU - full rated heating certified at 5F. That is genuine deep-cold performance.

Structured ratings
Certification: ENERGY STAR certified and AHRI cold-climate designated. Refrigerant: current low-GWP R-454B. Minimum heating ambient: -22 F.

Strengths

  • Deep-cold performance - 25,000 BTU certified at 5F, matching the 47F rating.
  • Four zones on one R-454B (current low-GWP) outdoor unit; EER2 13, HSPF2 10.
  • Strong efficiency for a cold-climate four-zone - certified nominal SEER2 24.

Weaknesses

  • Costs a bit more than the standard Advantage 4-zone for the cold-climate tuning.
  • 24,000 BTU cooling across four zones is modest per room - size each head.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install the Midea Advantage Series Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (D5CMHAH24DAK) myself, or do I need a pro?
Midea Advantage Series Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (D5CMHAH24DAK) 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 Midea Advantage Series Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (D5CMHAH24DAK) keep heating in a cold winter?
The AHRI/ENERGY STAR certification lists 25,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -22 F. Certified heating efficiency is 10 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 Midea Advantage Series Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (D5CMHAH24DAK) need?
Published electrical requirements: 230 V voltage and 35 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 from the outdoor unit to one indoor head is 114.8 ft. The combined piping limit across all heads is 262.5 ft. Measure the planned routing before ordering.
What warranty does the Midea Advantage Series Multi-Zone High-Heat 4-Zone 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (D5CMHAH24DAK) carry?
The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Base: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (published limited warranty terms). Score uses Base.. Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
