Which Carrier QSM Slim Line Ducted size do I need?
As a rough guide, allow 0.125 to 0.15kW of cooling per square metre for a typical insulated Sydney room: a 20m² bedroom lands around 2.5 to 3kW, a large open-plan space needs 7kW or more. Insulation, ceiling height and afternoon sun all shift the number, so use our capacity calculator or send us photos and measurements for a precise recommendation.
What warranty applies to the Carrier QSM Slim Line Ducted?
Carrier backs it with 7 yr parts & labour (residential ducted), and our installation carries our own workmanship warranty on top.
What stands out about the Carrier QSM Slim Line Ducted?
Compact casing (from 210mm high) designed to fit into most ceiling spaces. Enough pressure for typical apartment and light-commercial duct layouts.
