WESTINGHOUSE - iQ Drive 24.5 SEER Ultra High Efficiency Air Conditioner

Description

The Westinghouse iQ Drive® Air Conditioning System is rated at up to 24.5 Seer. It features a fully variable speed compressor with both indoor and outdoor variable speed motors. The system will provide variable cooling capacity, when called upon, modulating over a 5 degree F° temperature range.

The system operates near the high end rated capacity at the thermostat set point and modulates capacity as the temperature difference between thermostat set point and the room temperature changes.

The system is capable of running at an elevated capacity (18%) to provide rapid cooling.

The Westinghouse iQ system also has built-in humidity control that will control your humidifier. Blower output will be reduced if indoor relative humidity is greater than set point.

Quote from the manufacturer:

"The Westinghouse iQ Drive Comfort System, like all central standard air conditioning systems, has three major components. The outdoor component (the iQ Drive air conditioner or heat pump) works with the indoor component (the iQ Drive air handler or iQ Drive furnace/coil) to circulate cool air throughout the home.

The third component, the iQ Drive temperature controller, allows you to manage total indoor comfort. This entire system is designed to deliver better efficiency, improved air quality and more reliable comfort for years to come."
