It also features automatic emergency heat, freeze/frost and overheat protection, self-diagnostics, SmartFan cycle, and auto power recovery for reliability. The slide-in chassis, hidden manual vent control, rotary compressor, and constant fan button ensure optimal performance, while its heat pump with resistance backup provides consistent warmth. With a sleek white design, electronic controls, and remote thermostat compatibility (accessory kit required), this 97-lb unit is built for durability, efficiency, and ease of use.
Features:
- Dual Fan Speeds for Heating & Cooling: Two-speed settings for both heating and cooling, allowing users to choose between high airflow for quick temperature adjustments or low speed for quieter operation. Ensures effective air circulation to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
- 2-Position Discharge Grille: Adjustable grille directs airflow for improved coverage, reducing hot or cold spots in the room. Provides flexibility in controlling air distribution for optimal comfort.
- SmartFan Cycle for Automatic Fan Control: Fan operation intelligently adjusts based on cooling or heating needs. Enhances energy efficiency by minimizing unnecessary fan operation.
- Constant Fan Feature for Continuous Air Circulation: Allows users to run the fan continuously for improved air quality and consistent airflow. Helps prevent stagnant air and improves temperature consistency across the room.
- Outdoor Ventilation Control: A hidden manual vent allows fresh outdoor air intake when needed, reducing stale indoor air. Can be adjusted to limit external air intake based on user preference.
- Rotary Compressor for Efficient Cooling & Heating: Ensures smooth and quiet airflow with efficient power consumption. Provides stable temperature control with minimal fluctuations.
- Slinger Ring Condensate Removal System: Uses condensation water to cool the condenser coils, increasing energy efficiency. Reduces the need for external drainage, simplifying maintenance.
- Operating Voltage Range: 208V - 230V ensures compatibility with most standard electrical systems.
- Maximum Voltage: It works on 230V and provides higher power efficiency and reliability.
- Maximum Cooling BTUs: 14,700 BTU (230V) / 14,500 BTU (208V) delivers powerful cooling for medium-to-large spaces.
- Cooling EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio): 9.7 EER ensures efficient cooling with balanced power consumption.
- Heat Pump BTUs: 13,700 BTU (230V) / 13,500 BTU (208V) is effective heating performance for year-round comfort.
- COP (Coefficient of Performance): 3.0 – reflects the unit’s energy efficiency during heating operation.
- Cooling Power Consumption and Amperage: 1,515W at 230V / 1,490W at 208V and 7.2A at 230V / 6.7A at 208V maintains a strong balance between cooling performance and energy efficiency.
- Heat Pump Power Consumption and Amperage: 1,335W at 230V / 1,315W at 208V and 7.5A at 230V / 8.1A at 208V designed for efficient heating with a 3.0 COP (Coefficient of Performance) for optimal energy use.
- Automatic Emergency Heat Backup: Switches to electric resistance heat automatically if the heat pump is unable to maintain the desired temperature in extreme cold conditions. Ensures uninterrupted heating performance.
- Auto Power Recovery Feature: Restores previous settings after a power outage, preventing the need for manual reconfiguration. Particularly useful for commercial installations like hotels and apartments.
- Refrigerant Type: Uses R32 refrigerant, which is more environmentally friendly and improves energy efficiency compared to older refrigerants.
- Power Cord (LCDI) Included: Leakage Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) technology enhances safety by preventing electrical hazards.
- Weight and Dimensions: has a compact yet durable design, measuring 42 inches in width, 16 inches in height, and 21 inches in depth. With a net weight of 97 lbs, it is sturdy enough for reliable performance while remaining manageable for professional installation.
