Efficient:
This unit operating in its heating cycle gives an annual heating efficiency of 126% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). This efficiency is over 100% due to the fact that it moves the heat from the outdoors to the indoors. With the engine being liquid cooled, the unit captures the heat from the coolant and adds this heat to warm your home. Thus it is able to give 26% more heat than the energy that it consumes.

Since this equipment is a heat pump, it runs during the cooling season to provide you with air conditioning and dehumidification. During the summer months, the unit moves heat from the air inside your home to the outdoors to make you comfortable. While operating in the cooling mode, it operates at a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 15.6. This efficiency equals or surpasses the top of the line electric air conditioners.

Features:
A natural gas heat pump can operate over a very broad range of load requirements since it is a variable speed unit. When your home requires much heat on a cold February day, the unit runs at its higher engine speeds. On an October day, when your heating load is light, the unit can run at its idle speed for the most efficient operation.

Units are available from cooling loads of 3 tons to 5 tons (36,000 BTU/hour to 60,000 BTU/hour). Heating capacities 65,000 BTU/hour to 85,000 BTU/hour are available. In addition to the heat which the unit provides, there is also an auxiliary heater which can provide an additional 80,000 BTU/hr of heat if needed.
