Can the air handler be installed close to the floor?

Thank you for your question. The particular indoor air handler should be installed at least 5.9 inches away from the ceiling. It should have a 4.75 inch clearance on each side and it should be at least 90.55 inches above the floor. We, however, do have floor mounted units available if you are looking for something that is not mounted on your walls.
