TOSOT Unveils Aoraki Light Commercial HVAC Solutions
TOSOT has taken a significant step forward in the HVAC industry with the launch of three innovative indoor unit designs as part of their Aoraki series. Displayed at an event in Las Vegas, these new configurations—Floor/Ceiling, Concealed Ducted, and Ceiling Cassette—are tailored for diverse commercial environments, providing contractors with greater flexibility for installation.
Meeting Diverse Installation Needs
The Aoraki series is a response to the varied requirements of commercial spaces. According to Perry C., a product developer at TOSOT, maximizing adaptability for different spaces is crucial. “Commercial spaces are rarely designed the same way, so the HVAC system needs to work with the space, not against it,” he explained. This new lineup is particularly beneficial for contractors, allowing them to choose the installation method that fits best based on ceiling access, ductwork options, or overall interior design.
Floor/Ceiling Units
The Floor/Ceiling unit offers an innovative installation approach, allowing for two options: it can be installed low on a wall or suspended from the ceiling. This flexibility is invaluable for spaces like retail establishments or showrooms with extensive glass surfaces or limited wall access. Offered in both 18K and 24K BTU configurations, it supports height differences from indoor to outdoor units of up to 82 feet, ensuring comfort in larger spaces.
Concealed Ducted Design
For environments where aesthetics are paramount, the Concealed Ducted system provides a solution that enables it to be installed discreetly above ceilings or within service areas. Available in 18K and 24K BTU models, it features adjustable external static pressure of up to 200 Pa, suitable for various duct layouts and capable of supporting piping lengths of up to 131.2 feet. This makes it ideal for restaurants, offices, and renovation projects that require a clean look.
Ceiling Cassette System
The Ceiling Cassette configuration is designed for broader open spaces, including restaurants and retail settings where even air distribution is essential. Installed within the ceiling, it disperses conditioned air in multiple directions, catering to the unique needs of larger shared areas while preserving valuable wall space. This model is available in BTUs ranging from 9K to 24K, with energy efficiency ratings potentially reaching up to 24 SEER2. A built-in condensate pump also comes standard, aiding in moisture management.
Commitment to Energy Efficiency
Across this new line, TOSOT maintains a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and performance. The entire series is ENERGY STAR® certified, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality and reliable HVAC systems. With features tailored for year-round use, all configurations utilize R32 refrigerant and incorporate advanced technologies like intelligent defrost and anti-freeze protection.
Availability and Future Insights
The Aoraki Light Commercial Series is set to be available on TOSOTDirect.com starting early September 2026. By not adhering to a one-size-fits-all methodology, TOSOT successfully addresses the distinct heating and cooling requirements of various commercial spaces. This launch reflects their broader philosophy of developing HVAC solutions that are not only efficient but also cater to the practical realities of building design and user needs.
TOSOT remains dedicated to inspiring comfort through its innovative HVAC products, paving the way for smarter installations and enhanced satisfaction in the commercial sector. For more information on the Aoraki Light Commercial Series and other offerings, visit
