The split-system 12 Series heat pumps are available in capacities from 1-1/2 to 5 tons. The heating mode efficiencies range up to 7.5 HSPF and the cooling mode efficiencies can achieve over 12 SEER when matched with particular equipment. Features include external refrigerant connections, service valves with 3-1/2-inch stubs, a coated inlet grille, prepainted condenser fins, and louvered tops. A special triple-step paint process provides weather resistance, the company says. Constructed with a new, thicker-fin coil, the condensers have added protection against accidental damage in transporting and handling that could result in reduced efficiency and performance, says the manufacturer. The heat pumps feature a 10-year compressor limited warranty and a five-year parts limited warranty.
