{"product_id":"everwell-cac-15-r454b-heat-pump","title":"Everwell CAC-15 R-454B Heat Pump (14.3 SEER2)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHeats and cools, with a ten-year warranty behind it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne outdoor unit for both seasons, and no furnace, gas line or flue anywhere in the system. The warranty is what makes this worth considering against a better-known badge: ten years on compressor and parts, five on the coil, with registration. A heat pump runs far more hours a year than an air conditioner does, so warranty length matters more here than it does on a cooling-only unit. Register it at commissioning — there is a deadline, and our warranty page sets out the terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the heating floor before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated for heating down to 17°F ambient, and cooling from 61°F to 118°F. In Florida and the Gulf South, 17°F is below anything you will see in a normal winter, and the air handler's electric strip heat covers the rare night that approaches it. Further north it is a real constraint, and you would want a cold-climate heat pump instead. We would rather say that plainly than sell you a unit that underperforms every January.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn LG scroll compressor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-stage, from a manufacturer whose compressors appear throughout the industry. On a heat pump the compressor and reversing valve work year round, so this is not a detail to skim — it is the main reason this unit is a different proposition from the cheapest condenser available online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGoldFin coated copper coil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll-copper with a corrosion-resistant coating. Copper transfers heat well and, importantly, \u003cstrong\u003ecan be repaired in place with a torch by any technician\u003c\/strong\u003e, where an aluminium coil leak usually means coil replacement. The coating is what protects it from salt air and sustained humidity. Top-discharge cabinet, around 65 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe heat kit decision that has to be made now\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplemental heat lives in the air handler, not out here, and on Everwell the handler choice constrains it: the \u003cstrong\u003eAHC standard-return handler takes strip heat up to 20 kW, while the FAHC front-return handler stops at 10 kW\u003c\/strong\u003e. If your house needs 15 or 20 kW of backup heat, you must choose the AHC handler — the front-return cabinet cannot be upgraded to it later. Decide the heat kit size before you pick the handler, not after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching it correctly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified with the Everwell AHC and FAHC air handlers at 14.3 SEER2. The rating belongs to the pair, and we publish the AHRI certificate on every size of the complete systems so you can check the number yourself rather than take ours. Line runs to 148 feet with up to 66 feet of rise; 3\/8 inch liquid and 3\/4 inch gas to 3.5 ton, 7\/8 inch at 4 and 5 ton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everwell","offers":[{"title":"1.5 Ton","offer_id":49310250828035,"sku":"CAC1814HA15","price":1519.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Ton","offer_id":49310250860803,"sku":"CAC2414HA15","price":1529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 Ton","offer_id":49310250893571,"sku":"CAC3014HA15","price":1659.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Ton","offer_id":49310250926339,"sku":"CAC3614HA15","price":1759.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 Ton","offer_id":49310250959107,"sku":"CAC4214HA15","price":1919.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Ton","offer_id":49310250991875,"sku":"CAC4814HA15","price":2149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Ton","offer_id":49310251024643,"sku":"CAC6014HA15","price":2179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3278\/5667\/files\/everwell-central.png?v=1784771689","url":"https:\/\/hvacsupplypro.com\/products\/everwell-cac-15-r454b-heat-pump","provider":"HVAC Supply Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
