ACiQ 2.5 Ton 17 SEER2 High Efficiency Central Heat Pump | Inverter - R454B

Overview
Inverter - The ACiQ-30-EHPD 2.5 ton central inverter heat pump utilizes inverter technology to convert AC power to DC, allowing the compressor to adjust its speed. This enables the condenser to modify its BTU output based on the current demand, providing efficient and adaptable performance throughout varying weather conditions.
Learning Condenser - Equipped with advanced sensors, this condenser monitors indoor and outdoor air temperature, duct pressure, refrigerant temperature, and overall performance. During the initial startup, it enters a learning mode, optimizing future operations for maximum efficiency by collecting and storing data.
Adaptive Sizing - With its self-adjusting inverter design, the ACiQ-30-EHPD can be sized based on your heating needs. Standard heat pumps may cause discomfort during summer when sized for heat, but this unit automatically adjusts to function like a smaller unit, ensuring ideal cooling performance without excess humidity.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation is very similar to installing any replacement air handler. Your technician will make electrical, refrigerant, thermostat, and communication connections. Plus, they will connect the air handler to your return and supply ductwork. The ACiQ central ducted air handler is multi-positional (upflow, downflow or horizontal), making it a very versatile air handler. Any 24v thermostat with 2 stages of heating can control the system. Supplemental electric heat kits are available as a backup heat source for the coldest days of the year. If any maintenance is required, the intelligent control board in the air handler displays fault codes in case any part of the system experiences issues.
Please note - in order to function, this air handler must be installed with a condenser and other installation equipment, available at an additional cost if not already included in this product bundle. To use straight electric heating, an electric heat kit is necessary and is also available at an additional cost.
