General Electric AZ85H09DAC GE Zoneline 9500 BTU Vertical Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner, Heat Pump, Backup Electric Heat, 208/230 Volts. The GE Zoneline Vertical Packaged Terminal Heat Pump has excellent COP (Coefficient of Performance) ratings. This is the measurement of the efficiency of the heat pump output compared to electric resistance heat. In addition to comparing heat pump output versus electric heat, this number also allows a direct comparison to other heat pumps with the same range capacity.
Similar to central heating systems, the GE Zoneline Vertical Heat Pump incorporates the use of a reverse cycle defrost system. This allows the heat pump to operate at lower outdoor temperatures without frost accumulation on the outdoor coil. This helps provide owners with a cost efficient method of heating.
This GE Vertical PTAC features a heat pump and offers 9500 BTUs for cooling and 8400 BTUs when operated as a Heat Pump. It is also equipped with 3 fan speeds. Featured on this unit is the Quick Heat Recovery System. The heat pump incorporates a two stage heat/one stage cooling thermostat that utilizes the resistance heat to bring the room temperature to within 2 degrees of the thermostat set point before initiating the heat pump operation. This helps bring the room up to temperature quickly and allowing for warmer air to be discharged when the heat pump kicks in.
A GE Vertical Air Conditioner (ZVAC or Vertical PTAC) helps you optimize floor space because the unit is concealed in a closet with an outside wall rather than out in the open. With hidden installation, the room becomes more aesthetically appealing, giving it more of an at-home appearance, with no limitations on furniture placement or window treatment installation.
Although the Vertical PTAC is still a through-the-wall installation, its footprint is only about 24" x 24" and hidden inside an enclosure which looks like a closet, versus a standard PTAC unit which is installed in the room taking up over 42" of floor space. The ZVAC uses a wall mounted thermostat and has a top air discharge that can be ducted into one or more rooms - perfect for suite set-ups.
With your choice of power connection kits, you choose the amount of heat resistance needed for your application. A power connection kit is required for this unit and they are available in 3 sizes - 15, 20 and 30 amps.
