Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: This unit is built around the Copeland UltraTech II two-stage compressor, which is the heart of the refrigeration system. Great cost savings is achieved with this unit because it runs most of the time in first stage, saving the homeowner money while keeping the home comfortable. The contractor will love the all-aluminum coils, as they are lighter weight and contain less refrigerant. No copper transfer tubes means a more durable coil.

Special installation requirements: None.
