Eco-Friendly
The industry’s leading solar-assisted central heat pump combines solar energy and electricity to noticeably decrease home electric usage. Chlorine-free R410A refrigerant provides outstanding comfort without encountering a costly environmental toll.
ENERGY STAR¨ Qualified
The system meets or exceeds U.S. EPA guidelines for energy efficiency. This air conditioning and heating system also qualifies for a federal tax credit to reduce your expense; visit the ENERGY STAR website to learn more. Remember to also check on any state or local municipality incentives that may save you more money for being eco-friendly.
Unbelievable Comfort & Energy Efficiency
Efficiency ratings of up to 18.20 SEER and 9.70 HSPF can save hundreds of dollars a year compared to a standard heat pump. A single solar panel facilitates freely available climate-friendly energy to counterweight the electric usage of the heating and cooling system. A two-stage scroll compressor runs at low speed the majority of the time, which means it’s less expense to operate and results in more consistent comfort. In addition, it’s specifically built to work with a Humiditrol¨ whole-home dehumidification system for enhanced comfort control.
Quiet Operation
The SilentComfort™ fan grille incorporates patent-pending, vortex-suppression technology that minimizes the noise of airflow leaving the unit, providing a quieter environment. A fully insulated compressor compartment uses vibration-isolating mounts to muffle operating sound, thereby exhibiting low sound pollution.
Reliable Performance
Manufactured with heavy-gauge, pre-painted steel and examined in the most intense environments to offer maximum durability, the system also comes with the industry-leading onboard cooling system diagnostic tool, the Lennox¨ System Operations Monitor, which constantly monitors system performance and promises steadfast operation and fast troubleshooting. A 10-Year Limited Warranty on compressor and all remaining covered components (the solar panel itself is not included).
