“We are excited to be recognized by Good Housekeeping,” said David Budzinski, president of the global residential and light commercial division at Johnson Controls. “Their expertise and consumer insights further emphasize homeowners’ desires to reduce utility costs and enhance indoor air quality. The YH2F heat pump accomplishes both criteria within a flexible, compact design while allowing homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint through a sustainable electric system.”

The YH2F heat pumps, available in capacities ranging from 1.5 tons to 5 tons, meet several energy efficiency standards, including Energy Star/Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tier 1 requirements, reaching efficiency ratings of up to 16 SEER2 and up to 8.1 HSPF2. They offer homeowners the ability to save up to 50% on utility costs compared to older, less efficient systems while also reducing their carbon footprint.

YH2F heat pumps can be matched with a York residential gas furnace to create a dual-fuel system that automatically switches between heat sources based on energy costs or heating capacity in extremely cold weather.
