Amana Split System

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. A 96% rating means that 96% of the fuel your furnace consumes is converted into usable heat for your home, with only 4% lost through the exhaust. This high efficiency significantly reduces wasted energy compared to older, standard-efficiency models.

Likely not. This system is designed to be compatible with standard 24V non-communicating thermostats, which are the most common type found in residential homes. You should be able to use your existing thermostat provided it is in good working condition.

Unlike a single-speed blower that is either fully on or off, an ECM blower can adjust its speed based on your home's actual heating or cooling needs. This results in quieter operation, more consistent temperatures throughout your rooms, and better humidity control during the summer months.

Yes, R-32 is a modern, single-component refrigerant that has a lower global warming potential compared to older refrigerants like R-410A. It is currently the industry standard for new, environmentally compliant HVAC systems.

With a noise level of 67 dBA, this unit operates at a volume comparable to a normal conversation or a quiet office environment. While you will hear it running if you are standing right next to the outdoor unit, it is engineered to be unobtrusive for typical residential installations.

The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) acts as a precision regulator for the refrigerant entering your evaporator coil. By automatically adjusting the flow based on temperature and pressure, it ensures the system operates at peak efficiency and prevents liquid refrigerant from damaging the compressor.
