ACiQ 3 Ton 15.4 SEER2 Extreme Ceiling Mount Heat Pump Split Inverter R454B

ACiQ Extreme Series 3 Ton 17.4 SEER2 High Efficiency Heat Pump Condenser Inverter R454B ACIQ-36-HPD

The ACIQ-36-HPD is a high-efficiency 3-ton heat pump condenser from ACiQ's Extreme Series, engineered to deliver dependable heating and cooling performance even in severe cold-weather climates. Built with advanced inverter technology and a 17.4 SEER2 efficiency rating, this unit varies compressor speed and refrigerant flow to match real-time demand, providing consistent comfort while helping reduce overall energy consumption.

Equipped with Extreme Heat Technology, the ACIQ-36-HPD extends effective heat pump heating down to -22°F outdoor temperatures, well beyond the range of traditional heat pumps, which typically rely on costly backup electric heat below about 30°F outside. The system delivers 100% of rated heating capacity at 0°F and still provides 80% at -22°F, helping save up to 75% on cold-climate heating bills. Advanced sensors and a built-in learning mode continuously monitor indoor/outdoor temperature, duct pressure, and refrigerant conditions to optimize performance over time.

Please note that this condenser cannot operate independently and must be installed with a compatible indoor air handler.

Important Refrigerant Safety Notice

This condenser uses R454B refrigerant, classified as an A2L refrigerant. To comply with safety standards and maintain warranty coverage, the unit must be paired with an R454B-compatible air handler or evaporator coil equipped with a refrigerant leak detection system. Failure to follow these requirements may result in safety hazards and could void the manufacturer warranty.

ACiQ 3 Ton Ducted Air Handler Ceiling Mounted R454B ACIQ-36W-PB
