ACiQ Gas Furnace and Heat Pump System

It means the furnace is engineered to be installed in upflow, downflow, or horizontal positions. This flexibility is critical if you are replacing an existing unit in a tight space like an attic, crawlspace, or utility closet where the ductwork orientation is already fixed.

Yes, you can. While the system comes configured for natural gas, an optional LP conversion kit is available to adapt the furnace for propane use.

An ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) blower is significantly more energy-efficient than a standard PSC motor. It adjusts its speed to maintain consistent airflow, which helps lower your electricity bills and provides quieter, more stable comfort throughout your home.

Because this is a dual-fuel system—combining a heat pump and a gas furnace—you will need a thermostat capable of managing dual-fuel or hybrid heating. This ensures the system automatically switches between the heat pump and gas furnace based on the outdoor temperature for maximum efficiency.

The on-board self-diagnostics system monitors the furnace's operation and can display error codes if a performance issue arises. This makes troubleshooting much faster and more accurate for your HVAC technician, potentially saving you time and money on service calls.

Yes, the system is designed this way intentionally. Using a slightly larger evaporator coil than the condenser capacity can often improve the system's overall efficiency and dehumidification capabilities, provided it is installed and matched correctly by a professional.
