ACiQ Heat Pump System

Yes. This system is rated for extreme climates and maintains heating performance even when outdoor temperatures drop as low as -22°F. It includes a built-in base pan heater to prevent ice buildup, ensuring reliable operation during harsh winters.

Unlike wall-mounted mini-splits that sit visibly on your wall, a concealed duct unit is designed to be hidden, typically above a ceiling or in a closet. This provides a cleaner, more discreet look while still delivering precise, room-by-room climate control.

Yes, professional installation is required. Because this system involves handling refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and specific ductwork configurations, it must be installed by a licensed HVAC technician to ensure safety, efficiency, and valid warranty coverage.

Adaptive inverter technology allows the compressor to adjust its speed based on the actual cooling or heating demand, rather than simply turning on and off. This precise modulation prevents energy waste and helps the system achieve its high 20 SEER2 efficiency rating.

The system includes a self-cleaning condenser function that helps reduce routine maintenance needs. Additionally, the Gold Fin coating on the coils provides extra protection against corrosion, which helps extend the lifespan of the unit in challenging environments.

While the condenser is technically capable of supporting up to three air handlers, this specific 18,000 BTU model is optimized for dual-zone setups. If you are planning for three zones, you should consult with your installer to ensure the total BTU capacity of the system matches your home's heating and cooling load requirements.
