That reads like a detail until you are standing in a hallway closet with no route to bring a return in from below — common in older Florida houses, and in any retrofit where the mechanical space was sized for equipment nobody makes any more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt is also physically smaller.\u003c\/b\u003e The 1.5–2 ton crates at 23.2 × 17.7 × 39.4 in against the standard-return AHC's 22.83 × 25.6 × 47.63 — roughly eight inches shorter and eight inches narrower.
