The Ruud Ultra Series® UASL can achieve efficiency ratings of 18 SEER. It has a two-stage Copeland compressor. The air conditioner is PrOzone™ certified, which means it exceeds world environmental standards and features R-410A, which contains no gas or compounds that might harm the ozone layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the company says. The unit has Comfort Alert™ diagnostics, which monitors and analyzes system performance. According to the manufacturer, a three-blade outdoor fan powered by a GE ECM two-speed motor on select condensing unit models significantly reduces energy bills by operating at low speed for temperatures below 85 degrees F and high speed for temperatures above 85 degrees. The patented Neutra Green finish blends quietly into yard landscapes, states the company.
