Features
- 18 SEER2 inverter efficiency. The compressor ramps up and down instead of cycling on and off, which is what keeps power bills down.
- Barely a whisper indoors. Runs as low as 27.5 dBA on its lowest fan speed.
- Control from anywhere. Included remote, SmartHVAC app on your phone, or just ask Alexa or Google Assistant.
- Follow Me comfort. The remote senses the temperature where you're sitting, not at the wall, so the room feels the way you set it.
- Built to last outside. Gold Fin coating on the condenser resists corrosion from rain, salt air, and the elements.
- Washable filter plus Dry, Quiet, Sleep, and Fan Only modes for year-round comfort with no recurring filter cost.
