Heritage 18 Heat Pump

Key Benefits:

• Significantly surpasses government efficiency standards, helping you save up to 56% on your energy bills while reducing greenhouse gas emissions*
• Contains two compressors that provide two-stage heating and cooling, running at an energy-saving 50% capacity most of the time, which may help lower your heating and cooling bills*
• Runs quietly and keeps temperature even from room to room with its variable speed fan motor
• Removes unwanted humidity from the air, leaving you feeling cooler and more comfortable
• Provides more efficient and reliable heating and cooling, thanks to durable woven Spine Fin™ coil and dual Duration™ compressors
• Rust-resistant coating, screws and basepan protect system from the elements

*Potential energy savings may vary depending on your lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, home construction and installation of equipment and duct system.

Energy Star^®

A program developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to reduce the nation's energy consumption. Energy Star^® qualified heating equipment can be up to 15 percent more efficient than standard models. Energy Star-qualified cooling equipment can be up to 7 percent more efficient than minimum-standard equipment.

SEER

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, a rating that measures the cooling efficiency of a heat pump or air conditioner. The higher the number, the more efficient the unit.

HSPF

Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. Refers to the efficiency of the heating mode of heat pumps over an entire heating season. The higher the number, the more efficient the unit.

Variable Speed Motor(s)

The fan motor inside higher efficiency indoor and outdoor units is designed to change its speed based on your home's heating and air conditioning requirements. Working in conjunction with your thermostat, it keeps the appropriate-temperature air (e.g., warm air on cold days) circulating throughout your home, reducing temperature variances. The variable speed motor also increases dehumidification and is quiet because it runs at a lower speed most of the time. Plus, the consistent air circulation eliminates noisy startups and shutdowns.

Two-Stage Cooling/Heating

Two-stage heating and cooling is considered to be more efficient, because it operates at a low, energy-saving speed most of the time. However, on days when more heating or cooling is required, it switches to the next stage for maximum comfort.

Spine Fin

A revolutionary technology that makes stronger, more efficient cooling coils. Spine Fin™ consists of thousands of tiny spines bonded to continuous aluminum refrigerant tubing. The tiny spines create a greater surface area, helping it to transfer more heat from your home, more efficiently. American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning features Spine Fin™ coils in our Allegiance^® and Heritage^® products.
