Goodman 1.5 Ton 15 SEER Heat Pump Split System - R-410A Variable SpeedSystem Includes 14 SEER Heat Pump Condenser and Variable Speed Air Handler - System SEER Rating: 15.0
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. This System Uses Variable Speed Technology to Improve Comfort and Indoor Air Quality.A variable speed motor moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of air throughout your home. Better airflow control means a better balance of comfort.When the variable speed motor increases speed, it does so smoothly and gradually. During summer months, this allows your air conditioner to remove moisture from the air for improved comfort and better air quality.
The variable speed motor uses about two-thirds less electricity than a standard motor. During cooling operation, this typically results in an efficiency gain of 1 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which can add to your energy savings. Unlike a conventional blower motor, which is designed to operate at one speed, the GE ECM variable-speed motor can run in a wide range of speeds. That's important because blowers need to adjust speed to deliver the airflow needed by the system. During heating or cooling cycles, the GE ECM motor uses far less electricity than a conventional blower motor. As a result, a variable-speed system saves you money in 2 ways: 1.) A furnace equipped with a GE ECM motor can save you approximately $125* a year in electricity costs. 2.) Running your GE ECM blower motor continuously to circulate the air can save you another $289* annually.
(*NOTE: the above figures are based on the average energy savings (@ 8¢/kWh) of a GE ECM motor when compared to a conventional blower motor. Your actual savings will vary depending on your climate, ductwork, insulation, thermostat setting, and energy costs.)
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-40 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. Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P.We’ve become the second-largest unit manufacturer of residential air conditioning and heating products by focusing on just one thing—building the most reliable and cost-effective cooling and heating products in the market. Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Global, Inc. (NYSE:GGL), is the second-largest unit manufacturer of residential air conditioning and heating systems in North America. The company’s Goodman® brand products are built on the principals of founder Harold Goodman, a former air conditioning contractor. Harold’s goal was to manufacture air conditioning and heating equipment that:
Building our products to Harold’s standards, and protecting those products with some of the best warranties in the industry, has helped to make the Goodman brand the second largest domestic manufacturer in the residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry today.  “We will revolutionize the Heating and Air Conditioning Industry with the highest-quality equipment, manufactured by the best-producing workforce and sold at the lowest prices in the market.” - Harold Goodman, 1982In 1954, Harold V. Goodman, founder of Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P., became an air conditioning contractor in the rapidly growing city of Houston,Texas. As the steamy Gulf Coast city grew, so did Harold’s business, and by the late 1960s, he was one of the most successful HVAC contractors in the United States. In 1975, Harold entered HVAC manufacturing with the formation of Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P. The company began as a maker of flexible air duct and plastic blade registers. As this business grew successfully, however, Harold turned his sights to building HVAC equipment, recognizing the industry’s need for a high-quality, low-cost producer of central air conditioning systems. As luck would have it, Harold learned that another HVAC manufacturer was closing its doors and selling off its manufacturing equipment. He quickly stepped in to purchase the shuttering company’s machinery, transported it to a large warehouse in Houston, and in 1982, Goodman entered the market as a manufacturer of central air conditioners and heat pumps. From the beginning, Harold was dedicated to building HVAC equipment that performed reliably, lasted a long time and solved many of the problems contractors encountered in the design of other companies’ equipment. The philosophies he used to guide his company were simple:
Join the ranks of other homeowners that have taken advantage of the affordable comfort and added value of a Goodman central cooling and heating system. These same principals guide Goodman today. We remain focused on providing high-quality products at an affordable price, and protecting them with some of the best warranties in the industry. This clear focus has led to Goodman’s being the No. 2 unit manufacturer of residential heating and air conditioning products in North America. We’ve become
the second-largest unit manufacturer of residential air conditioning and
heating products by focusing on just one thing—building the most
reliable and cost-effective cooling and heating products in the market.
Goodman Manufacturing Company, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman
Global, Inc. (NYSE:GGL), is the second-largest unit manufacturer of residential
air conditioning and heating systems in North America. Today Goodman is the value leader in HVAC products--all due to Harold Goodman's vision. In the words of the Goodman brand's tagline, "Thank Goodness for Goodman." |
