    Most Efficient Air-Source Heat Pump Available

    Maytag iQ Drive® heat pump system achieves 22 SEER.

    Rated at up to 22 SEER and 10 HSPF, the Maytag iQ Drive heat pump is the country's most efficient air-source heat pump. It's 70 percent more efficient than a standard heat pump system and so quiet, it's hard to tell if it's running. The Maytag iQ Drive heat pump uses inverter-driven rotary technology to achieve high efficiency levels. It can modulate anywhere from 40 to 118 percent of capacity, instantly adjusting to exactly offset the demands on the home.

    While traditional air-source heat pumps cycles on and off, the iQ Drive runs almost constantly at a low level. This makes a huge difference in comfort and sound levels, especially at night. Visit www.maytaghvac.com or www.iqdrive.net/maytag.html.

    SUPCO

    Providing the greatest torque increase in an easy 2-wire installation, SUPCO'S Ultrastart hard start kit solves the most difficult compressor starting dilemmas. Along with their starting benefits, Ultrastarts offer other reasons for incorporating their use in an air-conditioning system. By reducing start time by as much as 50%, the “in-rush” current period during startup is minimized, thereby saving energy costs and reducing stress on the compressor. Reduced stress leads to longer compressor life. Also, the introduction of a start capacitor increases the power factor during startup by as much as 65%, thereby providing additional stress relief for the compressor. Finally, by reducing startup time, nuisance flicker, noticeable by dimming of lights, is less apparent or eliminated.

    EAGLE X Combustion Analyzer

    Imagine, no more oxygen sensor replacement. The Eagle X now makes that a reality by taking an entirely new approach to combustion testing by replacing the typical electro-chemical oxygen sensor with the new EOS Technology CO2 sensor. In an electro-chemical sensor, the gas measured passes into the sensor producing a chemical reaction generating a current. This process eventually wears down the sensor causing accuracy to drift and eventually losing all current output altogether. With the EOS Technology sensor, the gas flows between an Infrared transmitter and a receiver, meaning there are no parts to wear down and no physical cause for accuracy drifting. It has a 5-year limited warranty and an unmatched industry-leading life expectancy of 10 years. www.ueitest.com.

    UNICO

    The ability to precisely manage airflow in a variety of operating modes is key to maximizing comfort. The new Unico System Green Series air handlers, combined with the new S.M.A.R.T.

    Westinghouse 24.5 SEER iQ Drive® Air Conditioner

    Quiet, comfort, convenience.

    Rated at up to 24.5 SEER, the Westinghouse iQ Drive® air conditioner uses inverter-driven rotary technology, which is different from traditional air conditioners in that it is almost always running. The unit can modulate anywhere from 40 to 118 percent of capacity, instantly adjusting to offset cooling demands on the home. Because the iQ Drive unit doesn't cycle on and off like a traditional system, it saves energy and considerably reduces sound levels while providing exceptional humidity control. The Westinghouse iQ Drive air conditioner can also be zoned with the new iQ Zone system. For more information on the Westinghouse iQ Drive air conditioner, please visit www.westinghousehvac.com or www.iqdrive.net/westinghouse.html.
