 Industry-Leading MagicPak® M-Series MGE9 Wins Architectural Products’ 2025 Product Innovation Award (PIA)

West Columbia, SC -- Allied Air Enterprises, a leading HVAC equipment manufacturer, announces that the MagicPak MGE9 All-in-One®  M-Series™ was recognized as a winner of the 2025 Product Innovation Awards (PIAs), published by Architectural Products. The PIA Awards celebrate outstanding innovation in architectural products, systems and materials. Each entry is reviewed by an esteemed panel of practicing architects.

The MGE9 gas heating/electric cooling unit includes the exclusive new FreezeShield™ system for the U.S.  and Canada, delivering 95% AFUE with exceptional reliability across all conditions.

Ideal for multifamily and elderly care developments, the MGE9’s through-the-wall application eliminates bulky outdoor equipment, maximizes usable square footage, and streamlines installation process and workflow. MagicPak® enables greater flexibility in architectural design and faster project completion.

“We’re very proud that the MagicPak® M-Series™ MGE9 has received recognition as an innovative product from a prestigious publication that serves architects and designers,” said Scott MacMurdo, VP of Strategic Growth at Allied Air. “We are also pleased to bring the new M-Series unit to the market, particularly for our northern U.S. and Canadian customers where 95% AFUE is desired.”

The MGE9’s FreezeShield™ system is engineered for reliability in extreme conditions. To prevent ice damage, it features a sealed burner box, patented heated condensate trap and patent-pending telescoping vent pipe. Other benefits include:

  • Through-the-Wall System - installs in half the time and gives architects design freedom, it opens up an extra 5,400 sq. f.t of property space.
  • Saves 500 project hours* and up to $280k* on project installed costs.
  • Eliminates 6,000 linear feet (more than a mile) of line sets*

*versus traditional split systems on average 3-story 150-unit project. Line sets based on an average 40’ line set length per unit.
