Model code 53QCDT48DN-508 explained
The code is not random; reading it lets you make sure you are comparing the same model at any seller (per the brand's Egyptian models):
- 53 = the Carrier Egypt model prefix
- Q = cool & heat (heat pump)
- 48 = cooling capacity in thousands of BTU (48,000 BTU/hr ≈ 6 HP)
- DN = DC inverter compressor
How much space does 6 HP cover?
Using our approved heat-load method (length × width × height × a factor of 300 / 350 / 400 BTU/m³ depending on exposure), this capacity covers 43 to 57 m² at a 2.8 m ceiling. A commercial capacity for shops, showrooms, restaurants, halls and warehouses. Commercial spaces add lighting, equipment and frequently opened doors, all of which push the real load above the geometric estimate. Large glazing, a kitchen and the number of occupants raise the load, so confirm with a real calculation: how engineers pick the right AC capacity · what HP and BTU mean · the AC calculator.
Operating mode and compressor
Besides cooling, this model heats in winter (heat pump): one unit for both seasons instead of buying a separate heater, and at much lower consumption than a heater.
With an inverter compressor the unit does not keep cutting out and restarting; it holds a low speed that keeps the temperature stable. That narrows the gap between the temperature you set and the one you feel, and keeps it quieter at night.
The Carrier DÉCOR Inverter series
DÉCOR Inverter is Carrier's cassette: mounted in the middle of the false ceiling with 4-way air distribution. R410A, cool & heat, available from us in 5 and 6 HP. Our range has 2 models in this series from 5 to 6 HP, and this model is the largest capacity in the series. All models are in the DÉCOR Inverter category · all Carrier prices.
Who is this model for?
This model makes sense if the unit will run long hours every day (a bedroom all night or an office all day), and the space is roughly square with a false ceiling, and 4-way distribution serves it better than a wall unit. If your situation is different, the comparison table below shows the closest alternative with its exact price difference.

Cost per 1,000 BTU
A simple measure that compares prices fairly: divide the unit price by its rated capacity. 53QCDT48DN-508 costs EGP 130,940 for 48,000 BTU, which means 2,728 EGP per 1,000 BTU.
| This model | EGP 2,728 per 1,000 BTU |
| Average across our ceiling cassette range (2 models) | EGP 3,018 |
| Cheapest model of the same type | EGP 2,728 |
| Most expensive model of the same type | EGP 3,308 |
This model is among the better value in its type with us: its cost per unit of cooling is 10% below average, ranking 1 of 2 from cheapest to most expensive per BTU.
Installation and execution with El Shora
The cassette body hangs inside the false ceiling with only the face visible, so the ceiling void must take the unit and its drain pump. The centre of the space is the right position so all four directions reach every corner.
What decides a unit's life is not the brand alone, it is the installation: copper at the right diameter with no extra joints, full insulation on both lines, a dry-nitrogen test and a micron vacuum before the refrigerant is released, and a correct drain slope. Every step is photographed and logged on our system under the project name. Details in AC installation · AC maintenance.
The unit price includes delivery only within our service areas; installation, commissioning, warranty activation and after-sales service are a separate paid service, written clearly in the quotation together with any extra pipe length, preparation, chasing or scaffolding the site needs.

FAQ about the Carrier DÉCOR Inverter 6 HP Cool & Heat Cassette AC
How big a room does the Carrier DÉCOR Inverter 6 HP Cool & Heat Cassette AC cover?
This capacity (6 HP ≈ 48,000 BTU) covers 43 to 57 m² at a 2.8 m ceiling, based on 300 to 400 BTU per cubic metre. On a top floor or a sunny façade treat it as the minimum, and you can check with the AC calculator.
What is the price of the Carrier DÉCOR Inverter 6 HP Cool & Heat Cassette AC today?
EGP 130,940 for the unit including delivery only within our service areas (updated 12 September 2026). Installation, commissioning, warranty activation and after-sales are a separate paid service, written clearly in the quotation before any work.
Does this unit need a special power supply?
Yes. This capacity runs on a 3-phase / 380 V supply, so we check the feed and distribution board on site before delivery. If the site has no 3-phase supply we tell you before you buy.
Can I buy the unit and have someone else install it?
Of course; the price covers the unit and delivery only. Keep in mind that installation quality is what actually decides the compressor's life: the nitrogen pressure test, micron vacuum and full insulation are not cosmetic details, and warranty activation happens at commissioning.
Where do you deliver and how fast?
Delivery is included within our service areas in Cairo, Giza, the new cities and the coast. Because the warehouse is in 6th of October, deliveries to October, Zayed and nearby areas are scheduled faster, and in every case we confirm the appointment before dispatch.
What is the maximum distance between the indoor and outdoor units?
Per the manufacturer catalogue for this model: a maximum pipe run of 50 m and a maximum height difference of 30 m, with gas 5/8" and liquid 3/8" lines. Exceeding these reduces cooling and loads the compressor. The full table is at the pipe size page.
Where we deliver and install
Supply, installation and maintenance run from our base in 6th of October, with appointments confirmed before the visit and photo documentation. Among the areas we serve: AC in Madinaty · AC in New Alamein · AC in New Zayed · AC in Heliopolis · all service areas.
