ACiQ Heat Pump System

Unlike traditional systems that cycle fully on or off, the inverter technology in the ACiQ Extreme+ modulates its output. This allows the unit to run at lower, more efficient speeds to maintain a precise temperature, rather than constantly starting and stopping, which saves energy and reduces wear on the system.

Yes, the Extreme+ series is specifically engineered for reliable performance in cold climates. It is designed to provide consistent heating even when outdoor temperatures drop, making it a viable primary heating source without needing fossil fuel backup.

This system is highly versatile and supports upflow, downflow, and horizontal installation orientations. This flexibility allows it to fit into a wide variety of home layouts and existing HVAC closet or attic spaces.

The system operates on standard 230V power, which is typical for most residential central heat pump installations. However, you should always have a licensed HVAC technician verify your existing electrical panel capacity and wiring before installation.

R454B is a modern, environmentally conscious refrigerant choice that aligns with current regulatory standards for lower global warming potential. It is the industry-standard replacement for older refrigerants, ensuring your system remains compliant and future-proof.

Capacity requirements depend entirely on your home's square footage, insulation quality, and local climate. A 2.5-ton unit with 30,000 BTU/hr heating capacity is typically suited for mid-sized homes, but you must have a professional perform a Manual J load calculation to ensure it is correctly sized for your specific space.
