Shipping Policy

Once you place an order on AC units for less, we will promptly reach out to express our gratitude for your purchase and address any inquiries you may have. Our team will also review your order with you to ensure that you have selected the right equipment for your specific needs.

Order Process

Our order process includes a handling or production time in addition to the transit time. Delivery time = handling time + transit time.

Handling Time

All the products undergo a production process, so there will be a handling time of 2–3 business days from Monday to Friday. If your order is placed and payment is received after 2 p.m., then we will process the order the next business day.

Transit Time

Our shipping providers take 3-4 business days to deliver the order. It's an estimate, so there might be a delay.

Shipping Providers

We primarily use UPS or FEDEX for our deliveries. However, we reserve the right to use other carrier services as required to ensure efficient delivery. After an order ships, the shipping carrier will contact customers to coordinate the delivery schedule. 

Once an order has been processed and shipped, it's important to note that the shipping address cannot be altered. Items designated for pickup at the terminal will only be released to the individual listed on the shipping label. A valid driver's license and a signature will be required for the release of the shipment. We adhere strictly to this policy, with no exceptions.

Shipping Rates

We offer free shipping on all orders except for Flat Bed Shipping or Oversized items. Flat Bed Freight Shipping applies to units larger than 7.5 tons.

IMPORTANT: HVAC and Water Heater parts and accessories should only be installed by qualified technicians. Failure to understand and follow the manufacturer’s installation and use instructions may result in fire or explosion, electric shock, property damage, injury or loss of life. It is your responsibility to seek professional advice when installing and using these parts and accessories.

The Daikin FDMA12AVJU9 is a 1-ton (12,000 BTU) concealed ducted air handler from Daikin's Aurora FDMA series, built for single-zone ductless installations where reliable high-efficiency climate control must be delivered entirely through the building structure with no visible indoor equipment. Rated up to 18.3 SEER2, 9.2 HSPF2, and 11.8 EER2, the FDMA12AVJU9 represents the mid-point of the Aurora FDMA lineup — available in 7K, 9K, 12K, 15K, 18K, and 24K capacities — and is well matched to residential bedrooms, open living areas, home offices, boutique hotel rooms, and light commercial spaces in the 400–600 square foot range requiring concealed delivery, extreme climate performance, and integration with Daikin's building management platform.

Extreme Climate Heating and Cooling Performance

The FDMA12AVJU9 is rated for full-capacity operation in outdoor conditions that push conventional equipment to its limits. Cooling capacity holds at 100% up to 104°F (40°C) ambient, with operational capability extending to 115°F (46°C) for reliable performance in hot Southern, desert Southwest, and high-heat commercial environments. Heating capacity remains at 100% down to 5°F (-15°C) ambient, with continued efficient operation to -13°F (-25°C) and extended heating operation achievable to -4°F (-20°C) through facility settings and air adjustment grille configuration. The redesigned outdoor unit PCB is engineered to withstand these extreme temperature swings without the control board failures that can affect conventional electronics in harsh climates.

Concealed Ducted Installation with 0.6" Static Capability

Installing above ceilings, within attic chases, or inside wall cavities, the FDMA12AVJU9 delivers conditioned air through short duct runs to ceiling or wall supply registers — keeping all mechanical equipment completely out of the occupied space. At 1-ton capacity with support for external static pressures up to 0.6 inches WG (150 Pa), this unit handles duct systems with multiple registers, longer distribution runs, or higher-resistance layouts that would exceed the limits of lower-rated concealed air handlers. The integral lift mechanism simplifies installation and repositioning in overhead ceiling cavities, while the dedicated drain pan inspection port allows routine condensate system checks without requiring full unit removal.

Quiet Indoor Operation

Indoor sound pressure levels reach as low as 32 dB(A), making the FDMA12AVJU9 one of the quieter options available at this capacity for concealed ducted applications. This sound level is appropriate for master bedrooms, home theaters, executive offices, patient care rooms, and hospitality spaces where mechanical noise would compromise the environment. Outdoor sound pressure levels reach as low as 50 dB(A).

Inverter Technology and Comfort Features

The swing inverter compressor delivers continuous variable-speed modulation, adjusting system output in real time to match the actual heating or cooling demand of the space. At 1-ton capacity, this precision matters — undersized fixed-speed systems short-cycle while oversized ones fail to dehumidify adequately. The inverter compressor resolves both issues by operating at the exact capacity needed to maintain target temperature and humidity simultaneously. Auto Fan Speed control (with wired controller) adjusts airflow automatically, eliminating manual fan adjustments throughout changing daily conditions.

Quick Warming Function delivers accelerated temperature recovery at startup during cold weather. Hot Start Function holds the indoor fan until the heat exchanger is warm, preventing the uncomfortable blast of cool air common during heating startup on conventional equipment. Automatic Defrosting manages outdoor coil frost accumulation without interrupting comfort delivery. Program Dry Function reduces indoor humidity independently of aggressive cooling — particularly valuable during mild but humid shoulder seasons. Auto Changeover switches between heating and cooling modes automatically as conditions change, and Anti-Corrosion Heat Exchanger Treatment protects coil integrity in humid, coastal, and high-particulate environments. Auto Restart After Power Failure restores previous settings automatically following any outage.

Controls and Building Integration

The FDMA12AVJU9 requires the BRC1NRV71 wired remote controller for all operation — infrared remotes and third-party thermostats are not compatible. The controller's self-diagnostics with digital display provide fault code readout during service calls, reducing diagnostic time. Native DIII-NET connectivity requires no optional adapter for integration into Daikin's centralized building management systems, and DKN Cloud Wi-Fi Adaptor compatibility enables remote monitoring and control via smartphone or web interface. Compatibility with the Daikin Zoning Kit (DZK) supports multi-zone scheduling across larger properties managing multiple FDMA units from a single platform — making this unit a strong fit for multi-unit residential, hospitality, medical, and light commercial building applications.

Compatible Accessories:

  • Wired Remote Controller (required): BRC1NRV71
  • Centralized Management Controller: DCS302C71
  • Schedule Timer Controller: DST301BA61
  • Remote Sensor: KRCS01-6B
  • Wiring Adaptor: KRP1C76

Warranty: 12-year limited parts warranty. Online registration must be completed within 60 days of installation to qualify.
