Efficiency Rating Efficiency Rating
Up to 16.5 SEER2 cooling / up to 14.5 EER2 cooling

SEER2

SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and applies to cooling efficiency for central air conditioners and heat pumps. The higher the SEER2, the greater the energy economy.


EER2

The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER2) that calculates the energy the unit uses to function. It can be found by dividing a unit’s BTU output by its wattage, and the high EER2 rating means a more efficient air conditioner, so the higher the better.

Sound level
As low as 67 decibels

Sound Level

A decibel is a unit used to measure sound or power level of an electrical signal by comparing it with a given level on a logarithmic scale.

Communicating Capability
Wi-Fi® enabled remote access with the Ion™ Black System Control

Communicating capability

The ability of the HVAC system's components to exchange information and work together seamlessly. This allows for more precise control, better energy efficiency, and the ability to adjust settings remotely or automatically based on the system's performance, environmental conditions, or user preferences.

No Hassle Replacement™ Limited Warranty
5-Year No Hassle Replacement™ Limited Warranty+

No Hassle Warranty

If compressor, coil or heat exchanger fails due to defect during the applicable No Hassle Replacement limited warranty time period, a one-time replacement with a comparable unit will be provided.

Parts Warranty

Energy Star® Qualified
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency voluntary program that helps protect climate through energy efficiency
Fan Motor
Single-speed operation

Fan Motor

The fan motor drives the fan blades to circulate air through the HVAC system, maintaining proper airflow, ensuring efficient heating and cooling, and preventing system overheating.

Compressor
Single-stage compressor operation

Compressor

The compressor pumps and compresses refrigerant, enabling heat transfer to condition the air efficiently.

Cooling capacity
1.5–5 tons

Cooling capacity

The cooling capacity of an air conditioner or heat pump indicates the amount of heat it can remove per hour. It is measured in tons, with one ton equaling 12,000 BTUs.

Refrigerant
Lower global warming potential R-454B refrigerant

Refrigerant

Refrigerant absorbs heat from indoor air in the evaporator coil and releases it outside through the condenser coil, enabling the cooling process.
