Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest cooling equipment available for the upcoming summer season in order 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 Cooling Showcase is split into two parts — commercial and residential. The commercial information will be published in the May 2 issue while this issue focuses on the residential/light commercial side of the air conditioning industry. The coverage features specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.

Click here to view and download the product grid, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. This article below provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and includes technical support information from each 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.

Built-in water circulation components (pump or modulating valve) eliminate the need for an external flow center. An extended-range refrigerant circuit is capable of ground-loop, ground-water, and boiler/tower installations.

Warranty information: Twelve-year limited express compressor and parts warranties are available. A five-year labor-allowance warranty is available from the date of purchase when the unit is properly commissioned and a geothermal startup certification form is submitted by the installing contractor. Some limitations apply; see the warranty information online for additional details.

Special installation requirements: If the unit is connected to existing ductwork, a previous check should have been made to ensure the ductwork has the capacity to handle the airflow required for the unit. To minimize vibration transmission to the building structure, the HZD should be mounted on an isolation pad. It’s the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply with all applicable codes and regulations.

Footprint (in inches): 47 indoor/37 outdoor (length) by 10 indoor/17 outdoor (width) by 13 indoor/ 32 outdoor (height)

Serviceability features: The system monitors itself for abnormal operation and turns off automatically or continues to run in safety mode, when necessary. The unit may recover a fault on its own or display an error code to help troubleshoot the problem for a quick solution. On outdoor units, service ports are easily accessible, which helps speed up service.

Technical support: Experienced technical advisors are available to answer questions about installation, operation, and service from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, weekdays, at 517-787-2100. Sales representatives throughout the U.S. and Canada can also provide assistance. Contact information for sales reps can be found online under the Where to Buy tab.

Technical support materials: Wiring diagrams; installation, operation, and maintenance manuals; a parts list; a troubleshooting guide; specification sheets; an owner’s manual; and a service manual are available.

Noise-reduction features: This unit’s mini-split design keeps compressor sound outside, and it operates exceptionally quiet because the dc compressor runs mostly at low speed, which reduces any vibration and associated noise. Also, a high-tech indoor fan unit delivers balanced airflow that is so quiet a homeowner may not realize it’s operating.

IAQ equipment supported: Three air filters provide filtration for large air volumes the unit handles. Filters are washable and should be cleaned every two weeks during periods of constant use.

Thermostat compatibility: Manufacturer did not specify.

Replacement parts compatibility: The equipment features some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: A Follow function senses the conditions where the occupant is in the room and adjusts the temperature accordingly. The unit cools and heats when ambient temperature is as low as to 5°F. Refrigerant leak detection prevents the unit from freezing due to low charge and a defrost control automatically removes frost accumulation on the coil. Additionally, the unit’s auto swing louvers create a gentle breeze-like effect.

Warranty information: A limited express warranty covers the compressor for six years and other parts for two years from date of purchase by the original owner. Some limitations apply; see the printed warranty online for more information.

Special installation requirements: The outdoor location should be as close to indoor unit as possible, and the indoor unit should be mounted as high on exterior wall as possible, allowing 6 inches between the top of the unit and the ceiling. Installation directions are clearly spelled out in the installation, operation, and maintenance manual.
