Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment that is available for the upcoming winter season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.

Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial products will be featured in the Oct. 5 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.

The showcase features a product grid, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. To view and download the product grid, click here.

The accompanying photo feature provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and includes technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided below.

Serviceability features: The inverter heat pump comes with four accessible refrigerant ports.

Technical support: Support is available 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time at 800-527-0896.

Technical support materials: Wiring diagrams; installation, operation, and maintenance manuals; a parts list; a troubleshooting guide; specification sheets; and startup instructions are available.

Noise-reduction features: Inverter technology makes this outdoor unit inherently quiet with sound output at 47 dB. The air handler is also designed to isolate noise and vibration. Each module, including the blower and coil, is insulated with closed-cell, sound-deadening insulation, which ensures the unit remains quiet. The supply tubing is designed to minimize sound to the equivalent of a soft whisper. This is due to the nylon inner core and the insulation, which absorb the sound.

Thermostat compatibility: The heat pump is compatible with most thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: The system does not share replacement parts with other models.

Additional features: This new small-capacity (1-1.5 ton) unit further expands the existing line of outdoor inverter units ranging in size up to 3 ton. A unique feature is the unit’s ability to combine multiple indoor units, both ducted and non-ducted, to one outdoor unit and have them run simultaneously with high SEER ratings. The unit also operates at an incredibly broad range of outdoor temperatures, from minus 25°F to 122°.

Warranty information: One-year parts warranty is available from the date of installation. Five year warranties are also available for dealers certified through field or online training.
