YORK launched the YORK YH9. The variable speed, 21 SEER2 heat pump aims to achieves efficiency and precision comfort even in colder climates with operation down to -10 F. The ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps feature variable speed compressors that modulate temperature output that aim to maximize energy efficiency and comfort down to -10 F, and they can maintain up to 100% capacity at 5 F, surpassing the program’s requirements for cold climate performance.

The YH9 heat pumps ship factory-charged for a 15-foot line set to reduce brazing and charging time during installation. Independent panels create quick access to power and control wiring. Diagonal base valves provide open access for low-loss fittings. Full corner access, removable fan guards and screw-on pressure switches aim to help to streamline maintenance. Additionally, contractors can digitally access technical documents and warranty information from a QR code located on the equipment. YORK YH9 heat pumps are further optimized when paired with the SHC510 Smart Home Control communicating thermostat, which also supports zoning. The smart thermostat auto-configures the connected equipment during installation ensuring optimal performance. If service is needed, the system enables remote access for diagnostics without the need for a fee-based subscription.
