  • EarthWise Dual-Fuel Split Heating SystemEarthWise Dual-Fuel Split Heating System
  • REMODELING Magazine (3/30/2009)
  • The EarthWise dual-fuel split system lets homeowners use electric or gas heating, depending on annual energy trends and fuel prices. The heat pump is Energy Star qualified, and the furnace exceeds minimum government efficiency ratings by almost 20%, the maker says, adding that the EarthWise split system can save up to 40% on energy bills. 800.235.2152.
  • Hallowell Acadia All-Electric Heat PumpAcadia All-Electric Heat Pump
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/10/2008)
  • The Acadia all-electric heat pump is a single system designed to comfortably and efficiently heat and cool homes regardless of weather; the unit's Opti-Cycle booster allows for efficient operation in temperatures as cold as -30 degrees F, according to the firm. The unit, which is 300 percent efficient, offers a SEER rating of 16 following recent upgrades. Details include an acoustically isolated compressor compartment and self-diagnostic control features.
  • Luxaire Acclimate HL8B Series Split-System Heat PumpAcclimate HL8B Series Split-System Heat Pump
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/10/2008)
  • The Luxaire Acclimate HL8B series 18-SEER, 10-HSPF split-system heat pump features a two-stage compressor that operates at two levels to provide maximum efficiency. The compressor is isolated from the rest of the components and protected by a composite bulkhead, reducing sound and vibration. A high-pressure relief valve and temperature sensors protect the compressor against adverse operating conditions. The unit uses R410A refrigerant.

  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/10/2008)
  • The York Affinity YZH series 18-SEER, 10-HSPF split-system heat pump utilizes a microprocessor with a demand defrost-control system that allows defrosting cycles only when necessary for increased comfort and efficiency. An anti-short-cycle timer helps extend the compressor's life and improve efficiency by preventing short-cycling. The system's hot heat pump technology reduces the feeling of "cold blow." It uses R410A refrigerant.
  • Luxaire Acclimate HL8B Series Split-System Heat PumpTools & Equipment Review
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (4/8/2008)
  • Heating and cooling systems account for nearly 50 percent of a house's energy consumption, so choice of equipment and the way it is installed are keys to success for any green builder. And as the focus on energy efficiency has led to improved building shell performance (including high-performance insulation packages and passive solar heating), selecting HVAC components that match the projected energy requirements will ensure that you optimize the system and meet the occupants' comfort needs and expectations.
  • Acadia Heating and Cooling Combo
  • REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (2/24/2008)
  • Outperforming conventional heating systems by 200 percent, the maker says, the all-electric Acadia combined heating and cooling system is touted as a "next-generation heat pump." Acadia does not require supplemental heat and can use its efficient refrigeration cycle to continue heating even when outdoor temperatures fall below freezing. Opti-Cycle technology uses a second compressor to boost the system's performance. Early adopters have seen utility bills drop as much as 70 percent. 877.322.2342.
  • Mr. Slim Outdoor Heat Pump
  • REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR Magazine (2/24/2008)
  • The Mr. Slim H2i P-Series outdoor heat pump offers a 36,000 BTU/h cooling and 38,000 BTU/h heating capacity and the maker's new Hyper-heating Inverter (H2i) technology, which incorporates higher compressor speeds at low temperatures and re-collects heat energy normally wasted in the flash process at the outdoor coil. As a result, the unit is highly efficient, operating at 100% of rated heating capacity at 5°F, 87% at -4°F, and 70% at -13°F, the maker says. 800.433.4822.
  • ClimateMasterTranquility 27 Heat Pumps
  • CUSTOM HOME Magazine (9/7/2007)
  • Tranquility 27 6-ton geothermal and water-source heat pumps use a zero-ozone-depletion refrigerant. Units include a variable-speed motor and double-isolated compressor mounting. 405-745-6000.
  • 2007 ENERGY STAR Partner of the YearLennox Honored By 2007 ENERGY STAR Program for Fourth Year; Unprecedented in HVAC Industry
  • ebuild (7/20/2007)
  • For the fourth time in five years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) have selected Lennox Industries Inc., a subsidiary of Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII), as an ENERGY STAR Manufacturing Partner of the Year for its outstanding contributions to developing, manufacturing, and promoting energy-efficient products; consumer education; and industry outreach efforts. Lennox is the only heating, ventilation, and air conditioning manufacturer ever to be chosen for the EPA award.
  • 14 SEER Line of Dual Fuel Heat Pumps and Air Conditioners
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (5/14/2007)
  • Comfortmaker. The 14 SEER line includes dual-fuel, gas-electric heat pump and air conditioner units that offer quiet performance and Energy Star efficiency. It comes in four models and uses a two-stage compressor that ramps up or down to condition the air. Two-stage gas heating eliminates uncomfortable temperature swings, and variable-speed fan motors reduce sound, the maker says. 800-458-6650.
