As the U.S. market’s first single-phase Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) 5-ton heat recovery system, LG’s compact Multi V S provides excellent energy efficiency and the versatility of simultaneous heating and cooling. Capable of supporting up to 12 indoor units, Multi V S redistributes rejected heat to areas that need it, effectively managing energy demands across the entire system.

Life in the “Big City” just got less expensive, quieter and greener—at least where heat pumps are concerned. The Trane XV19 Variable Speed Low Profile Heat Pump is designed for markets in larger metropolitan areas with strict noise ordinances, such as in the northwest, where many large cities have maximum sound levels of 55 dB(A) during the daytime and 45 dB(A) at night. XV19’s operating sound levels are 43 to 57 dB(A), which makes them perfect for keeping things quiet when the unit is located in close proximity to living spaces.

Recognizing the need for a cleaner, greener and more energy-efficient solution to home cooling and heating, Ice Energy has developed the Ice Bear 20, a home-optimized HVAC system that utilizes an ultra-high efficiency compressor along with an ice tank with heat exchanger.
