This brand is made in Mexico by Carrier and the heat pumps can be purchased online through hvacdirect but the guarantee on the brand is not as good as some of the other brands. The units use R410a refrigerant which is not as earth friendly as brands that use R32. The PHD4 model has a 14,5 SEER cooling efficiency with an 8HSPF heating efficiency but they are relatively noisy with a sound rating of 73 decibels. They use a wire mesh screen to protect the condenser coil which does not provide very much protection to the fins from the effects of hail. They can be easily field converted for slab mounting. The brand does not offer models that qualify for the HvacRepairGuy premium and ultimate categories.
This is a brand from Allied Air Enterprises which is a part of Lennox International. All of the units feature their MHT technology which includes rifled tubing to enhance refrigerant flow and lanced fins for more surface contact between the coil and the air which maximizes the heat transfer to maintain a compact unit at higher efficiencies. They use louvered panel construction which provides superior protection of the condenser coil from hail and other mechanical damage. The units are only sold through authorized dealers in the USA and only have an average guarantee that does not include total unit replacement in case of compressor failure which has pretty much become the industry standard. They are field convertible between horizontal and down flow and have a drain pan float switch that shuts off the unit if the condensate drain gets clogged. This prevents damage to interior spaces from condensate dripping down from the roof. The brand offers an optional electric heat kit in sizes from 5-20 kw and have an insulated anti-microbial drain pan to inhibit mold growth. They use R410a refrigerant which is not as good for the planet as brands with R32 refrigerant. The units use quiet shift technology where the compressor is turned off prior to entering or exiting the defrost mode which lowers the pressures and makes for quieter operation as well as minimizing the wear and tear on the reversing valve. The PRPHP14 models are basic heat pumps with a 6.7 HSPF2 efficiency and a 78 decibel sound rating which is roughly equivalent to an alarm clock. The PRPHP16 premium heat pumps are quieter due to their two stage scroll compressors and compressor blankets. They also have a variable speed blower motor for quieter and more efficient operation.

They feature louvered panel construction which does a superior job of protecting the condenser coil from mechanical damage but they have a 78 decibel noise rating which is about the same as an alarm clock. They offer optional electric heat kits in sizes from 5 to 15kw to provide supplemental heating but their warranty is only average when compared to other brands. The units use R410a refrigerant which is not as good for the planet as R32 but they have durable scroll compressors and a factory installed filter/drier to protect the refrigerant system from the effects of moisture. The units are shipped for down flow (roof mounting) but are easily field converted to side discharge (slab mounting). The brand does not offer models that qualify for the HvacRepairGuy premium and ultimate categories.
This brand is sold by factory authorized dealers in the USA and Canada. The XR13.4c basic heat pumps use full louvered metal panel construction to protect the condenser coil from mechanical damage. They have a durable appliance-grade finish as well as rust-resistant screws to keep the units looking good for many years. The units use all aluminum spine fin coils that are efficient at transferring heat and highly resistant to corrosion but they are harder to keep clean which can lower overall system performance. The guarantee on the units is pretty good but it does not include unit replacement in case of compressor failure. The XR13.4h model uses a wire grille to protect the condenser coil which is cheaper but it does not do much to protect the coil from damage due to hail. The XL15c models are premium heat pumps with a two stage compressor, variable speed blower motor, and a 15.2 SEER2 cooling efficiency with a 7.5 HSPH2 heating efficiency. They use a plastic grille to protect the condenser coil which is cheaper and looks stylish but it is not as good for protecting the coil as louvered panels. The brand does not offer a model that qualifies for the HvacRepairGuy ultimate category.
This brand is made in Mexico by Carrier Corporation and the units are available through distributors in the USA. The units use R410a refrigerant which is not as environmentally friendly as brands that use R32 and they are relatively loud with noise ratings roughly equivalent to a washing machine. They use all aluminum coils that resist corrosion and have a 13.4 SEER2 cooling efficiency with a 6.7 HSPF2 heating efficiency. The PH4Z units are basic heat pumps that are designed to be ground mounted and are designed for lots that are narrow. They have louvered panels for coil protection which is more effective than brands that use wire grilles. The guarantee on the units is only average and does not include unit replacement in the event of compressor failure. The brand does not offer models that qualify for the HvacRepairGuy premium and ultimate categories.
This brand is made in America and sold through a factory authorized dealer network in the USA & Canada. The units use stamped slotted panel construction which is cheaper but does not protect the condenser coil as well as units with louvered panels. They have durable powder coat paint and are field convertible from slab mount (side discharge) to roof mount (down discharge). All of the units have variable speed blower motors for quieter and more efficient operation and they offer optional electric heat kits in sizes from 5 to 25 kilowatts. The PHE4 heat pumps are basic single stage units with a 13.4 SEER2 cooling efficiency and a 7 HSPF2 heating efficiency. They have a 69 decibel noise rating which is about the same as a standard washing machine and the guarantee on the units is only average without a unit replacement guarantee in case of compressor failure. All of the units use R410a refrigerant which is not as earth friendly as brands that use R32. The brand does not offer models that qualify for the HvacRepairGuy premium and ultimate categories.
