Goodman 2 Ton 13 SEER Heat Pump Split System - Smarterway HVAC - Buy Direct and Save
Air Handler Can Be Installed In The Following Configurations:
What is a Heat Pump?A heat pump is basically an air conditioner with a reversible valve that allows it to operate in reverse, removing heat from your house and shunting it outdoors in the summer, and removing heat from outdoor air and shunting it into your house in the winter. Heat pumps produce both cooling and heating. Because heat pumps do not actually create heat—they just move it from one place to another—heat pumps are more efficient than other forms of electric heating. Heat pumps gather heat from either air, water or the ground, so are called respectively air-source, water-source, or ground-source heat pumps. Nearly all heat pumps are air-source heat pumps. If your heat pump has an outdoor compressor unit, which draws in and expels outdoor air during heating, it is an air-source heat pump. What is an Air Handler?The indoor part of a central air conditioning or heat pump system that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. An air handler is usually an electric furnace or a blower coil. What are Supplemental Heat / Electric Heat Strips?Air-source heat pumps contain two separate heating systems: the heat pump itself, and heat strips. Heat strips are electric resistance heating coils located inside the indoor air handler, the portion of the system which circulates the indoor air. They look much like the coils inside a kitchen toaster. The heat pump itself is energy efficient and will heat the home at little expense. The heat strips operate in three different modes: De-icing - Also called defrost cycle. During winter the evaporator coil in the outdoor compressor unit becomes colder than the outside air, so water often condenses on it and freezes. To remove this ice the heat pump automatically switches for several minutes to the air conditioning mode, which raises the temperature of the frozen coil, melting the ice. During de-icing, heat strips operate to keep the system from cooling the home. Auxiliary Heat - When
outdoor temperatures drop below 40 degrees, a properly-sized heat pump
by itself is not able to furnish all the heat the house needs. In the
auxiliary mode, heat strips operate simultaneously with the heat pump
to provide the additional heat needed for the home. The auxiliary heat
mode is activated by a second temperature Determining the heat strip size to order with your new system: Ask your installer what size heat strip kit to order with your new system. If you have an existing system and are replacing with a like size new system you can check your main breaker panel for the fuse/breaker size that is currently running the air handler.
Look for a label in the breaker box for the breakers that handle the current unit. This will normally be labeled "AHU", "Furnace", "Air Handler" or "Heater". The breaker will be a 2-pole 208/230 breaker as shown above. By checking the numbers on the end of the breaker you can compare to the following list for sizing your heat strip kit. If each breaker is labeled 45, that would support a 8 kW heat strip. The amperage is the number on the end of the breaker and not the two added together. If you need assistance, please call us and we will be happy to assist you. 5kW-30 Amps, 8kW-45 Amps, 10kW-60 Amps, 15kW-90 Amps and 20kW-120 Amps Note: Heat strip requirement may increase if you are replacing your system due to adding square footage to your residence or if your original system was undersized.

ARI Rating For This SystemWhat is ARI?
ARI Standards As
one of its most important functions, ARI develops and publishes technical
standards for industry products. ARI standards establish rating criteria
and procedures for measuring and certifying product performance. In this
way, products are rated on a uniform basis, so that buyers and users can
properly make selections for specific applications. Standards are developed
by individual ARI product sections and other interested parties who wish
to participate, then approved by ARI's General Standards Committee. The
more than 60 standards now published are mainly performance-rating standards,
although some are application or terminology standards. Many ARI standards
are accepted as American National Standards. ARI actively participates
in developing international standards and has established a policy of
adopting international standards for use in the United States, when practical
and feasible. ARI is cooperating with the Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) and other groups to establish joint ARI/CSA rating standards and
common U.S./Canadian safety standards. Performance Certification In its certification programs, ARI
verifies manufacturers' certified performance ratings of industry products
in continuous and extensive laboratory testing. Each product section,
with the support of the ARI engineering staff, may develop certification
programs for its eligible products. Participation in the programs is voluntary
and is open to non-members of ARI on an equal basis. ARI annually selects
a significant portion of each manufacturer's production models to be tested
by an independent laboratory under contract to ARI. Units, randomly selected,
are tested using procedures stipulated in the corresponding ARI standards,
to verify that they meet the manufacturers' certified published performance
ratings. Smarterway, Inc. provides
this information to allow homeowners and contractors to compare systems
based on independent results from non-bias organizations.
