Capacity

HVAC capacity refers to the heating or cooling output of a unit, measured in tons or BTUs, indicating the unit’s ability to regulate indoor temperature.

Clean Air Delivery Rate

Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) indicates the volume of filtered air an air purification system delivers per minute. A higher CADR means the system is producing more clean air, enhancing indoor air quality.

Cold Climate Heat Pump

Cold Climate Heat Pumps (CCHP) certified by ENERGY STAR® meet stricter standards for efficient operation in low temperatures, offering enhanced performance in colder climates.

Combined Annual Efficiency (CAE)

CAE (Coefficient of Annual Efficiency) measures the heat output of a unit relative to the cost of fuel used. It helps assess the cost-effectiveness of heating systems.

Compressor

The compressor in your air conditioner circulates and pressurizes refrigerant, allowing it to absorb heat from indoors and release it outdoors, ensuring efficient cooling.

Condenser Coil

The condenser coil is a crucial part of your cooling system, working alongside the evaporator coil to complete the heat exchange process. Located outside the home, the condenser coil releases the heat absorbed by the refrigerant from inside, allowing the cooling cycle to continue effectively.

Connected Control

Connected controls enable remote management of home appliances. Using a phone, computer, or tablet, you can control lighting, adjust temperatures, monitor security cameras, and more, making home automation convenient and accessible.

COP

The Coefficient of Performance (COP) measures how efficiently a heat pump transfers heat compared to the energy it consumes. A COP above 1.75 at 5°F indicates effective heating performance, making it ideal for colder climates. Higher COP values mean better energy efficiency, reducing electricity costs and improving overall heat pump performance.

Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM)

CFM in HVAC stands for Cubic Feet per Minute, measuring the airflow volume moving through your HVAC system. It impacts air circulation, ventilation, and overall comfort.
