Product Description 
The MRCOOL® Signature Series MCAEAWPEF36E21AA is a 36,000 BTU (3-ton) stud-mount air handler engineered for projects where space efficiency, quiet operation, and dependable performance are critical. Designed to install cleanly between standard wall studs, this unit is ideal for remodels, additions, apartments, multi-family properties, and modern builds where traditional air handlers are simply too bulky.
Even with its slim, space-saving design, this air handler delivers strong, consistent airflow at 1,095 CFM, making it a powerful match for MRCOOL® Signature Series top-discharge condensers and heat pumps. Flexible front or bottom return air configurations allow installers to adapt the system to the layout of the space, while the upflow airflow design promotes efficient, balanced air distribution throughout the conditioned area.
At the core of the system is a high-efficiency ECM blower motor (1/2 HP), providing precise airflow control, lower electrical consumption, and quieter operation compared to standard PSC motors. The fully insulated galvanized steel cabinet helps reduce sound levels, minimize condensation, and protect against energy loss, contributing to long-term system reliability and comfort.
Routine maintenance is simplified with the integrated filter rack, allowing quick filter changes without disassembling the unit. For colder climates or supplemental heat needs, the MCAEAWPEF36E21AA supports optional electric heat kits (5kW, 7.5kW, or 10kW). Designed for R-454B refrigerant, this air handler meets modern environmental standards and is built for the future. Backed by a 10-year parts warranty, the MRCOOL® Signature Series 36K Stud Mount Air Handler delivers dependable comfort, smart engineering, and installation flexibility in one compact solution.
