A new 14.5 SEER heat pump is the latest addition to the Luxaire® LX and Climasure™ Series of residential air conditioners and heat pumps. The new unit improves year-round heating and cooling efficiencies, with a heating season performance factor (HSPF) as high as 9.0; and a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of 14.5. A demand defrost system reduces energy costs by cycling the unit into defrost mode only when it is needed. The heat pump uses environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant in a system protected from moisture, dirt, and other contaminants by a filter drier. The solid core filter dryer, in combination with high-pressure and low-pressure relief valves, also extends the life of the compressor. www.joinluxaire.com
