CHICAGO - LG Electronics held a press conference Tuesday morning at the AHR Expo to showcase the future of connected buildings from its building management solutions and controls to residential IoT products.
CHICAGO - Carrier used the AHR Expo in Chicago to introduce their new 9,000 BTU single-zone ductless system rated at 42 SEER.
“This is the most efficient air conditioner you will see in the market. That is a pretty bold statement,” Meredith Emmerich, Carrier Ductless and Variable Refrigerant Flow Marketing Director.
The efficiency will help Carrier deliver greater flexibility to customers in colder climates, for example the 9,000 BTUh, 42 SEER, and 15 HSPF single-zone system can provide 100 percent cooling capacity down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 percent heating capacity down to -5 degrees Fahrenheit.
