ACiQ Extreme Series 3 Ton 17.4 SEER2 High Efficiency Heat Pump Condenser Inverter R454B ACIQ-36-HPD
The ACIQ-36-HPD is a high-efficiency 3-ton heat pump condenser from ACiQ's Extreme Series, engineered to deliver dependable heating and cooling performance even in severe cold-weather climates. Built with advanced inverter technology and a 17.4 SEER2 efficiency rating, this unit varies compressor speed and refrigerant flow to match real-time demand, providing consistent comfort while helping reduce overall energy consumption.
Equipped with Extreme Heat Technology, the ACIQ-36-HPD extends effective heat pump heating down to -22°F outdoor temperatures, well beyond the range of traditional heat pumps, which typically rely on costly backup electric heat below about 30°F outside. The system delivers 100% of rated heating capacity at 0°F and still provides 80% at -22°F, helping save up to 75% on cold-climate heating bills. Advanced sensors and a built-in learning mode continuously monitor indoor/outdoor temperature, duct pressure, and refrigerant conditions to optimize performance over time.
