Johnson Controls Adds 14.5 SEER Air Conditioners to the York® LX and Latitude™ Series. 
 
14.5 SEER units can achieve efficiency levels that qualify for the ENERGY STAR® designation for a federal tax credit.

Johnson Controls Adds 14.5 SEER Air Conditioners to the York® LX and Latitude™ Series. Johnson Controls has expanded its York® LX and Latitude™ Series of mid-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps with the addition of 14.5 SEER condensing units. The new 1.5-ton models feature the same compact footprint and height as 2-ton models in the series. When used with York’s variable-speed indoor products, the air conditioners can achieve efficiency levels that qualify them for the ENERGY STAR® designation for a federal tax credit.

Both models use environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant and a coil constructed of aluminum MicroChannel tubing and enhanced aluminum fins for increased efficiency and corrosion protection. Coils are further protected from damage by a polymer mesh applied between the coil face and a coated steel coil guard, while high-pressure relief valves and temperature sensors protect the compressors in the two units.

Upward airflow carries the normal operating noise of the models away from the living area and a rigid top panel reduces any motor sound in the units. In addition, isolated compressor mounts minimize compressor-operating sounds and, in the case of the LX model, a louvered steel coil guard, swept-wing fan blade and compressor blanket ensure quiet operation.

Installation time and costs are reduced by simple power and control wiring connections. Fully exposed refrigerant connections and a single panel covering the electrical controls enable easy access to both units for service and maintenance. Also, permanently lubricated motor bearings require no annual servicing.
