NEW MODEL: Ice Air's iCool XC Type C, which has an outdoor air option, is a packaged, air-source heat pump engineered to deliver reliable heating performance when outdoor temperatures fall below 0°F.


July 10, 2026

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. — HVAC manufacturer Ice Air has launched the iCool XC Type C, a new model within the company’s iCool XC line of packaged, wall-mounted, air-source heat pumps. The iCool XC Type C is designed to help electrify heating and cooling without sacrificing performance in colder climates, a press release from Ice Air said.

The iCool XC Type C, which has an outdoor air option, is engineered to deliver reliable heating performance when outdoor temperatures fall below 0°F, the press release said. This new model expands the flexibility of the iCool XC platform with a configuration optimized for projects with space, design, and installation constraints.

As building owners, architects, and engineers face increasing pressure to reduce emissions, eliminate fossil fuel dependence, and comply with evolving energy regulations, the need for cold-climate heat pump solutions that work in real-world conditions has become increasingly critical. The iCool XC Type C was developed specifically to address those challenges.

“The iCool XC Type C gives the market another option within the iCool XC family for projects that require high-performance heating in extreme winter conditions,” said Ric Nadel, CEO of Ice Air. “By expanding the product line with an additional form factor, we’re giving design teams more flexibility to electrify buildings without compromising comfort, reliability, or usable space.”

Key benefits of the iCool XC Type C, according to the company, include:

• Reliable heating performance in sub-zero outdoor temperatures;

• Flexibility for retrofit and new construction applications;

• High-efficiency electric heating and cooling in a compact footprint;

• Reduced reliance on centralized boiler infrastructure;

• Support for building electrification and decarbonization initiatives

The introduction of the iCool XC Type C continues Ice Air’s strategy of delivering practical electrification solutions for buildings facing real-world mechanical, architectural, and regulatory constraints, the company said.
