A line of 14 SEER straight-match heat pumps (FT4BE Series) and air conditioners (FS4BE Series) reaches Energy Star standards of 14 SEER and 11.5 EER, without variable-speed or two-stage compressors. The products also achieve 15 SEER with the addition of variable speed. Depending on the specific unit, they have capacities that range from 1-1/2 - 5 tons. The systems ensure quieter operation with a swept-wing fan blade. They have a heavy-duty permanently lubricated PSC motor that is completely protected from rain and snow. The full port brass ball valve provides low pressure drop and ease of service. The valve is actuated by one-quarter turn full open to full close. Additional features include single-speed scroll compressors, galvanized steel construction with a polyester urethane finish coat, and environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant.
