Every yearThe NEWSintroduces the latest air conditioning units available for the upcoming summer season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Cooling Showcase is split into two parts - commercial and residential. The commercial information will be published in the May 2 issue, while this issue focuses on the residential/light commercial side of the air conditioning industry. The coverage features specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.
Included in this coverage is the 2011 Residential Cooling Showcase product grid (see PDF link at the bottom of this article), which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity.
The 2011 Residential Cooling Showcase photo feature below provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and also includes technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in this photo feature.

IAQ equipment supported:Units come with multistage filtration, including ionizer to remove microscopic particles, an active carbon and dust filter, and an air-freshening filter. The active carbon/dust filter and the filter are removed for cleaning to maintain maximum performance.
Thermostat compatibility:Manufacturer did not specify.
Replacement parts compatibility:Some shared parts, some unique.
Additional features:Mix-and-match systems allow cooling/heating of two, three, or four rooms with one outdoor condenser and multiple indoor units. Indoor units in 9,000- and 12,000-Btuh capacities are selected to meet room requirements. Low ambient operation allows cooling from 5°-122°F. Includes multiple modes, random swing, auto restart. Thermostat built into indoor unit.
Warranty information:Six-year compressor, two-year parts with product registration; some limitations apply, see printed warranty on website or packed with unit. AssurancePlus extended service agreements are available: details on website or from a representative.
Special installation requirements:Combined Btuh of indoor units cannot exceed total Btuh capacity of condenser. Maximum line set length is 49.2 feet; 15-foot minimum line set length recommended. Maximum elevation (outdoors) is 32.8 feet. Power comes from the outdoor unit, so no special wiring or outlet is needed for indoor unit.
