ACiQ-48-HPD 4 Ton Extreme Series Central Inverter Heat Pump – Key Features
-
Inverter-Driven Performance: Uses inverter technology to convert AC power to DC, allowing the compressor to adjust its speed. This enables the heat pump to dynamically adjust its BTU output, ranging from 12,000–48,000 BTU for cooling and 12,000–50,000 BTU for heating. This self-adjusting system ensures optimal efficiency, regardless of outdoor weather conditions.
-
Smart Learning Condenser: Equipped with cutting-edge sensors, the condenser monitors various conditions, including indoor and outdoor air temperature, refrigerant temperature, duct pressure, and overall system performance. During the initial startup, the unit enters a learning mode that fine-tunes future operations, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and consistent performance.
-
Adaptive Sizing for Custom Comfort: The ACiQ-48-HPD automatically adjusts its size to meet your heating and cooling needs. Traditional heat pumps can result in discomfort when oversized for cooling, but this system adapts to avoid excess humidity and provide ideal cooling performance in the summer months without compromising efficiency.
-
Extreme Heat Technology for Cold Climates: Designed to handle extreme temperatures, the ACiQ-48-HPD can effectively heat spaces down to -22°F without relying heavily on backup electric heat. The heat pump provides 100% heating at 0°F and still offers 80% performance at -22°F, saving up to 75% on winter heating costs compared to traditional systems.
-
Wide Temperature Range: This inverter-driven heat pump offers efficient cooling from -22°F to 122°F and reliable heating from -22°F to 75°F. Whether you're facing intense heat or freezing cold, the ACiQ-48-HPD provides consistent and reliable performance year-round.
-
Sustainable R454B Refrigerant: Incorporates R454B refrigerant, a low global warming potential (GWP) alternative to older refrigerants, making this system an eco-friendly option for environmentally conscious consumers.
-
Gold Fin Condenser Coil Protection: The durable gold fin coating on the condenser coils increases the system's resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability and improved performance, especially in coastal or humid environments.
-
Whisper-Quiet Operation: The ACiQ-48-HPD is engineered for quiet operation, even under heavy workloads. This makes it an excellent choice for homes and businesses where noise reduction is a key consideration.
-
Perfect for Ducted Applications: This system is designed for ducted applications, easily integrating with existing ductwork for seamless installation in both residential and commercial spaces.

Installation and Maintenance
The installation process for the ACiQ Extreme+ central ducted air handler is similar to that of other replacement air handlers. Your technician will handle electrical, refrigerant, thermostat, and communication connections, as well as link the air handler to the return and supply ductwork. This air handler is multi-positional (upflow, downflow, or horizontal) and features a narrower cabinet design, offering greater versatility and easier installation compared to other models. It is compatible with any 24v thermostat that supports two stages of heating. For colder days, supplemental electric heat kits are available as a backup heat source.
If maintenance is needed, the air handler’s intelligent control board will display fault codes to help diagnose any issues with the system.
Important Note: For proper function, the air handler must be installed with a condenser and other required installation equipment, which may incur additional costs if not included in the product bundle. Additionally, an electric heat kit is required for straight electric heating and is also available at an extra cost.
