Enjoy the ultimate in comfort and efficiency with the VCD-Series cold-climate
air source heat pump. With an inverter-driven compressor, the VCD-system fully
modulates to use the least amount of energy possible to maintain temperature,
while at
the same time optimizing sound levels and comfort. Hyper heat performance down
to -22°F (-30°C) means the heat pump has world-class operating parameters in
all weather conditions-and the optional electric auxiliary heat kits provide
further peace of mind.
