Heat Pump Technology Unlike a furnace it doesn't burn fuel to make heat. It simply uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. In the cooling mode, an air conditioner or heat pump simply capture heat from inside your home and transfer it outside. In heating, a heat pump actually reverse-cycles and captures heat from outside and moves it inside. This process is more efficient than electric heat as it is much less expensive to transfer existing heat than to actually generate it. There is usable heat in the air down to about 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It feels cold to us because our skin temperature is 98.6 degrees.
A heat pump's heating capacity is rated at 47 degrees ambient (outside) temperature. As the outside temperature drops the heat pumps capacity drops in a linear fashion relative to the outdoor temperature. Most heat pumps will produce about half of their rated capacity at 12 degrees ambient. An electric heating element provides supplemental heat to assist the heat pump as it's capacity declines. The heat pump monitors both the outdoor temperature and inside supply air temperature and energizes the assist as needed, automatically. The newest SSZ series 16 seer Goodman heat pump condensers represent the latest generation design, packed with high technology features -- Like the Copeland Scroll compressor, absolutely the smoothest, quietest, most durable compressor ever developed. Because it has fewer moving parts, there is very little to wear out. In fact, over time this compressor actually "wears in" and becomes more efficient. Details Energy Efficiency Is The Key To Reduced Energy CostsSeasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER, is the measurement of an air conditioner's cooling energy efficiency. This rating system was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy to allow comparison between various models. The newest SSZ series Goodman air conditioner exceeds the federal 13 seer minimum by 23%, ensuring maximum energy savings. The higher the SEER number, the greater the efficiency... and the lower your operating costs will be. HSPF provides an efficiency rating for the heating capacity of a heat pump. HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. This is a comparison of the heating efficiency and with ratings of up to 9.75, the Goodman SSZ series heat pump systems far exceed the federal minimum. The SSZ series 16 seer Goodman air conditioning system can lower your energy costs by 50% or more when compared to an 8 seer/5.6 HSPF system. R-410a Refrigerant - Environmentally Friendly

The Goodman variable speed air handler is your ticket to superior heating and cooling performance. For quiet performance, improved humidity control and greater comfort in both heating and cooling this air handler simply can't be beat. A variable speed air handler is dramatically different from a standard air handler in that it features the high efficiency Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) by General Electric.
The Goodman AEPF (MBE2000 on 4 and 5 ton systems) series variable speed air handler provides whisper-quiet air delivery thanks to the General Electric variable speed DC motor.
By "ramping up" slowly at startup, this motor completely eliminates the harsh "impact" noises created by full speed startup in ordinary air handlers.
This "soft start" significantly reduces fan and motor noise so you can rest easy. You simply can't buy a quieter air handler.
Best of all, this air handler functions automatically - No adjustments or controls to fiddle with. Just set your thermostat and walk away.
The air handler senses the optimum operating parameters while you and your family enjoy the performance that only variable speed technology can provide.
The ECM Motor enhances performance because full air delivery is only needed a small portion of the time. During lower demand times this motor reduces its speed, providing up to 4 times better humidity control, better air distribution throughout your home, and greatly reduced operating costs.
Better air distribution will provide a marked improvement in those areas of your home where air delivery has been a problem, such as the rooms farthest from the air handler.
Another important feature of the Goodman variable speed air handler is the reduction of what is referred to as "cold blow," or the cold blast of air upon heating startup.
"Cold blow" results from cold air that develops in the duct system while the heat is in an off-cycle. When the air handler heater fan cycles on, this cold air is moved very quickly into your home resulting in an uncomfortable draft.

This Goodman variable speed air handler virtually eliminates cold blow with a "soft start," or a gradual increase in fan speed over the initial 3 to 4 minutes of the on-cycle.
This cold air is combined with preheated air from the air handler blower and is delivered at a slower velocity until it reaches full operating temperature.
The result? Improved heating comfort and a dramatic reduction of the uncomfortable drafts associated with non-variable speed air handlers.
The included Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) for your new heat pump system will result in superior performance across a wide range of operating conditions, as well as energy and cost savings.
A TXV meters the flow of refrigerant to the indoor evaporator coil of your air conditioning system. Much as our eyes automatically adjust to varying light conditions, a TXV automatically adjusts to changing cooling requirements.
When conditions call for maximum cooling, the TXV increases the flow of refrigerant to the indoor coil. When the cooling demand is lower, the TXV automatically restricts the flow of refrigerant, increasing the system efficiency and reducing energy costs.
A TXV can help your system adjust and respond to continuously changing cooling requirements, providing superior comfort levels and saving you money.
Standard variable speed air handler features include a fully insulated cabinet for quiet operation, an adjustable multi-speed motor, copper tube and aluminum fin coils, and a transformer and blower time delay for maximum efficiency.
This variable speed air handler also includes a supplemental heating element up to 15KW for increased heating capacity.

The Goodman variable speed air handler is versatile and can be installed as an upflow (ductwork above the air handler), downflow (ductwork under the air handler), and horizontally (air handler in an attic, crawlspace, or basement). If you are capable, you can do most of the installation yourself and then set up a service call for a professional to come and open the refrigeration system and check the charge.
