FRIGIDAIRE LAUNCHES 22-SEER iQ DRIVE HEAT PUMP The Industry’s most efficient air-source heat pump.
St. Louis, May 28, 2009 — Frigidaire is pleased to announce the introduction of the industry’s most efficient air-source heat pump. The iQ Drive heat pump achieves up to 22 SEER, 10 HSPF and 14.6 EER.
The Frigidaire iQ Drive heat pump is an evolution of the Frigidaire 24.5 SEER iQ Drive air conditioner and uses the same inverter-driven rotary technology to achieve high efficiency levels. The unit can modulate anywhere from 40 to 118 percent of capacity, instantly adjusting to exactly offset the demands on the home.
“This is an absolutely amazing product,” says Matt Lattanzi, iQ Drive product manager for NORDYNE. “It operates completely differently from a traditional air-source heat pump in that it runs almost constantly at a low level. This makes a huge difference in comfort and sound levels, especially at night.”
The Frigidaire iQ Drive is also the industry’s quietest heat pump, operating as low as 59 decibels. Its near-continuous operation also means it provides outstanding dehumidification. “The homeowner can set their desired humidity level, and the iQ Drive heat pump will maintain it within 5 percent of set point,” adds Lattanzi.
When paired with the Frigidaire iQ Drive fully modulating gas furnace rated at 97% AFUE and higher, the iQ Drive heat pump also creates the industry’s most efficient dual-fuel system.
