* Air conditioners/heat pumps have sound ratings established per AHRI’s test standard: AHRI 270-08 (August 2014). The SL18XC1 has the lowest sound rating of any single-stage air conditioner of any major U.S. brand of air conditioner equipment. Efficiency claim based on comparison of single-stage air conditioner products’ SEER as published in AHRI in June 2015. The SL18XC1 has a maximum rated efficiency of 18.50 SEER. **Savings chart shows the 5-year savings you can expect from an 18.50 SEER heat pump vs. existing equipment with a 10.00 SEER rating. The regions used to calculate household fuel and utility costs reflect a cross-section of cities in the U.S. In addition to geography, cooling costs are based on 3-ton capacity specifications, with 1,800 cooling hours per year and 12.29 cents per KWh (Source: EIA National average residential electric rate, August 2014 YTD). Your actual costs may vary depending on the weather, local fuel rates, system settings and your personal lifestyle.
***iComfort® thermostat must be installed with an iComfort-enabled indoor unit for maximum performance.
†Consult your tax expert before claiming energy efficiency solar tax credits.
