Heat Pump Technology
A heat pump is a central air conditioning and highly efficient heating system that will “extract” heat from the air in the wintertime for cost effective heating comfort in all but the most severe winter climates.
The system actually “reverse-cycles” in the heating mode and captures heat from outside and “pumps” it into your home. More...
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 Grandaire 13 SEER heat pump package unit with Earth Friendly R-410a refrigerant offers an outstanding combination of low cost and superior operating performance for residential and light commercial applications. This package unit will provide numerous options for contractors and homeowners looking for an all-in-one unit with hassle-free installation. Ask us if a package type unit is right for you.
The Importance Of 13 SEER
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is the unit by which air conditioning efficiency is measured. In the world of air conditioning, the higher the SEER, the better the efficiency, and the lower your energy costs.
Minimum efficency established by the Department of Energy. Potential energy savings may vary depending on your personal lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, actual construction and installation of equipment and duct system.
The Heart Of The System
The same parent company that manufactures quality brands such as Westinghouse, Maytag, and Frigidaire also makes Grandaire on the same assembly lines with the same commitment to quality.
The Grandaire name is not promoted as heavily so the marketing costs savings are passed along to you. Same quality, lower price.
For example, the Copeland Scroll compressor (the hardest working component) is absolutely the smoothest, quietest, most efficient compressor ever created. And because it has fewer moving parts, there is very little to wear out. In fact, over time this compressor will “wear in” becoming more efficient with time. More...
The Copeland Scroll Story:
Once in a while, a new technology is developed that gains widespread acceptance through superior function and design.
The Copeland Scroll Compressor has gained this respect and industry-wide acceptance through time-tested field use and not from laboratory theory.
The Copeland Scroll Compressor has proven itself to be the quietest and most dependable ever created.
Here is why:
The Copeland Scroll technology is based on the concept of compliance. Two scroll members interact to simultaneously achieve high efficiency and durability.
This efficient "twisting" motion greatly reduces the numbers of parts that can fail while eliminating the inefficient up and down piston motion of ordinary compressors.
- Continuous flank contact, maintained by centrifugal force, minimizes gas leakage and maximizes efficiency.
- Radial compliance allows the scroll members to separate the presence of liquid refrigerant or debris, thereby substantially improving durability and reliability.
- Axial compliance allows the scroll to remain in continuous contact in all normal operating conditions, ensuring minimal leakage without the use of tip seals.
- Both radial and axial compliance allow the scroll members to actually "wear in" rather than wear out.
Selecting The Proper System Is Easier Than Ever
Up to now selecting the proper size heat pump system has been difficult for both dealers and homeowners. AC 4 Life has made it possible, for the first time for you to properly select the right capacity for your home with our online sizing calculator .
You can select from a simple calculator for a general idea to our optimized software program that allows you to input the required information about your home and lifestyle for the most accurate and economical way to ensure comfort and efficiency. The small fee for this software is refundable with any complete system purchase.
If the software program is not for you we offer an exclusive service where an experienced sizing professional will do the work for you. The small fee for this convenient service is also refundable with any complete system purchase.
You can also obtain the model of the outdoor unit from a small nomenclature plate on the exterior of the unit. Simply call us and we will tell you what size (tonnage) system that you have now.
You can always call us toll-free at 1-866-862-8922 and our experienced system designers will happily assist you in the selection process.
No more missed appointments or intrusive high pressure salespeople in your home. Work right from your computer in the comfort of your home. Once you have selected the correct size simply browse the choices offered on this site and place your order on the web or call us.
Engineered For Quality
In addition to providing you with better indoor comfort, we want you to feel comfortable investing in a product that will perform when you need it most.
That's why each Grandaire air conditioner and heat pump package system is checked approximately 78 times during the manufacturing process, then run-tested to check for operation performance.
When it comes to compressor reliability, Grandaire products continue to be recognized for outlasting other manufacturers who use the same compressor.
In fact, the compressor manufacturer reported that Grandaire performed 35% better than the industry standard.
In the final analysis, computer-automated testing is performed to capture operational data for future reference should we ever need it for service. Grandaire products are built with proven components to provide safe, clean and reliable comfort year-round.
Grandaire package heat pumps meet the Energy Star guidelines for efficient performance. The bottom line to you is savings in your utility costs.
Best-in-the-Business Warranties
When a complete heating and cooling system is truly built to exacting standards of quality and durability, the manufacturer's confidence shows in its warranty.
Grandaire and AC 4 Life provide a:
Supreme Durability
A protective guard protects the heat pump coil from damage by weather and flying debris. The exterior is finished with a silicone protective polyurethane coating that undergoes a 950-hour salt spray test for harsher climates. That's up to 90% better protection than standard outdoor finishes.
R-410a Refrigerant - Environmentally Friendly
Your new Grandaire 13 SEER central heating and air conditioning system is not only easy on your wallet, but is also easy on our environment.
Since this refrigerant does not contain Chlorine, it is more environmentally friendly than R-22 refrigerant, the refrigerant currently used in most air conditioning systems.
Introduced as the alternative to R-22, R-410a has helped increase the durability and reliability of air conditioning compressors.
