Peace-Of-Mind Performance Relax, you're covered by one of the best warranties in the industry1--10 Year Conditional Parts when installed as a heat pump only or as part of a system. Energy Savings Just like a vehicle's MPG rating, the higher the SEER2, EER2 and HSPF2 rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio / Energy Efficiency Ratio / Heating Seasonal Performance Factor), the higher the efficiency of your heat pump--resulting in more energy savings. Keep in mind, other factors such as system matching, sizing, ductwork and installation also impact the overall efficiency. By working with a properly trained contractor, you can be confident that you are choosing the best heating and cooling system for your home's comfort--and your finances. Ultimate Comfort Inverter driven, variable speed, twin rotary compressor technology features fully variable cooling and heating operation between 45% and 100% of capacity2 to continuously meet your ever-changing needs. You'll enjoy exact temperature and advanced humidity control that combine to exceed your optimal comfort expectations. Reduced Emissions Households generate 72%3 of greenhouse gas emissions, so switching to a heat pump can make a big difference for the environment--today. Less Environmental Impact The 7mm condenser coil reduces refrigerant requirements up to 15%. This lowers the amount of greenhouse gases emitted while contributing to our sustainability goal of a 50% reduction in our greenhouse gas footprint.4 A win for all of us. Space-Saver Solution Part of our Sound & Space Constraint Solution, the Achiever Plus Series Side-Discharge Heat Pump is the ideal product for when installation locations are cramped. It features a small footprint with size options as low as 31.8" tall and 19.8" wide.
