ACiQ-36-HPD 3 Ton Extreme Series Central Inverter Heat Pump – Key Features
-
Inverter-Driven Efficiency: Converts AC to DC power for precise variable-speed compressor control, providing 12,000–36,000 BTU cooling and up to 37,000 BTU heating. The system adapts in real-time to changing weather for consistent indoor comfort and energy savings.
-
Smart Learning Condenser: Equipped with advanced sensors that monitor indoor and outdoor temperatures, duct pressure, and refrigerant conditions. During initial startup, the system “learns” your home’s needs, optimizing future operations automatically.
-
Adaptive Sizing for Seasonal Comfort: The inverter adjusts system output based on load demands, preventing overcooling in summer when the system is sized for winter heating ideal for year-round balance and efficient humidity control.
-
Extreme Heat Technology for Cold Climates: Unlike traditional heat pumps that struggle below 30°F, the ACiQ-36-HPD delivers full heating capacity at 0°F and maintains 80% output at -22°F reducing reliance on electric backup heat and lowering winter energy bills by up to 75%.
-
Year-Round Performance in Any Weather: Operates efficiently from -22°F to 122°F in cooling mode and from -22°F to 75°F in heating mode—engineered to handle extreme temperatures with ease.
-
Environmentally Friendly R454B Refrigerant: Uses R454B refrigerant, which has a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP) than older refrigerants—great for homes looking to future-proof their HVAC system.
-
Gold Fin Condenser Coil Protection: Features corrosion-resistant gold fin coil coating that improves durability and extends the system’s service life, even in coastal or high-humidity areas.
-
Ultra-Quiet Operation: Designed for whisper-quiet performance, even under heavy load, making it a great choice for both residential and light commercial spaces.
-
Ducted HVAC Compatibility: Built for easy integration into existing ducted systems, making it a smart and seamless upgrade from older central HVAC units.

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.
