3.5 to 4 Ton 16 SEER ACiQ Variable Speed Heat Pump and Air Conditioner Split System w/ Extreme Heat

OVERVIEW

Inverter condenser - Inverter technology changes AC power to DC, allowing the compressor inside your condenser to speed up and slow down. This allows the system to self-adjust BTU output based on demand. As the weather changes, so will your system output.

Learning system - This system is packed with sensors and controls air temperature inside and outside, system performance, duct pressure, refrigerant temperature. The first time you start your system it enters a learning mode keeping air moving across the sensors and storing information so future startups and run cycles will be at max efficiency.

Size for heat - The self-adjusting inverter design allows you to size your system based on heat demand. With standard heat pumps, sizing for heat can mean a muggy house during summer. The ACiQ Next Gen 4-ton heat pump system automatically adjusts to run like a 3-ton, 2-ton or a 1.5-ton to keep you cool and dry

Extreme Heat Technology - Extreme Heat means extended temperature range heating all the way down to -22°F. Traditional heat pumps don't make significant heat below about 30°F outside temperature, below that, they rely on expensive backup electric heat. The ACiQ Next Gen with Extreme Heat uses the inverter to vary the refrigerant flow, allowing for maximum heat extraction during extreme cold temperatures. The backup electric heat supplements the heat pump, and only takes over below -22°F. The heat pump gives 100% at 0°F, and still gives 80% at -22°F, saving you up to 75% on cold weather heating bills.

48,000 BTU, 15.6 SEER2

With an efficiency rating of 16 SEER2, the variable output ACiQ-48-HPB will keep you comfortable across a wide range of conditions. Use our handy size calculator Here to determine the demand for your home. For cooling, this system can operate anywhere from 12,000 BTU to 48,000 BTU without short cycling. For heating, this system is capable of 38,400 BTU at -22°F all the way up to 63,744 BTU at 50°F. This increased range means it fits more possible applications.

Please note that this condenser requires an ACiQ unitary ducted air handler to function, if not already included in the bundle on this page, along with line sets and other installation accessories available at an additional cost in the Accessories section of this page. It is recommended to have a professional install this system because it is not compatible with pre-charged line sets or other DIY equipment.

Extreme Heat Base Pan Heater Technology

Each ACiQ condenser has integrated Extreme Heat technology to maximize heat performance in extreme cold weather. Extended heat pump performance (HyperHeat) harnesses the power of inverter condenser with outdoor temp sensing, variable refrigerant flow and variable condenser fan speed to maximize heat extraction all the way down to -22. Plus, every Extreme Heat ACiQ condenser includes a base pan heater to keep ice from collecting on the condenser coil during heat pump operation. The best news of all? ACiQ includes these technologies with every multizone condenser – the competition makes you pay for it.

Longer life, longer warranty

Intelligent design goes into every element of ACiQ’s manufacturing ensuring flawless performance for years. Low friction, variable inverter twin rotary compressors give bulletproof reliability. Register equipment at ACiQ.com to extend warranty protection to 7 years parts, 12 years compressor.

Enhanced Comfort at Maximum Efficiency

The ACiQ-48-AHB air handler features a variable DC blower and communicating technology to maximize comfort and efficiency at the same time. The included smart thermostat communicates with the inverter condenser outside, and the variable air handler inside, allowing the system to self-adjust BTU output to maximize efficiency while providing ideal comfort. The air handler efficiently distributes heated and cooled air throughout your home by attaching to your existing ductwork.

• 48,000 BTU, 4 ton central ducted air handler
• Wired smart thermostat included
• Or – use your preferred 24v thermostat
• Variable DC blower
• Upflow, dowflow, horizontal left or right
• Manufactured Home and mobile home approved

Installation and Maintenance

Installation is very similar to installing any replacement air handler. Your technician will make electrical, refrigerant, thermostat and communication connections, plus, connect to your return and supply ductwork. The ACiQ Next Gen Air Handler is multi-positional (upflow, downflow or horizontal) and mobile-home approved. Any 24V thermostat with 2 stages of heating can control the system, although the supplied thermostat is recommended. You can add electric strip heat as a backup system for the coldest days of the year. The intelligent control board in the air handler displays fault codes in case part of the system requires maintenance.

Please note - in order to function as a heat pump, 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 heater coil is necessary and is also available at an additional cost.

The Ecobee is more than a smart thermostat. Most thermostats only read the temperature in one place (usually the hallway) which can make other rooms uncomfortable. Ecobee5 comes with a room sensor to help manage hot or cold spots. When you place sensors in your favorite rooms, ecobee5 can read the temperature and detect occupancy. That's how it ensures comfort in the rooms that matter.

With Amazon Alexa Voice Service built inside, ecobee5 can perform the many 'skills' that come with Alexa. All you have to do is ask, and watch the blue light pipe on top of the thermostat blink in response. For total hands-free control, it can even hear you from across the room. Imagine you’re throwing a last-minute dinner party. Simply ask your ecobee5 to walk you through each step out loud – from finding the right recipes to the ideal music playlist. ecobee5 has embedded microphones with far-field voice recognition and a speaker engineered for clear voice and full sound. It’s the smart thermostat that looks at home on your wall – that you can hear and speak to from across the room.
