265V Units are Not Made for Residential Applications. This Unit is for Commercial Use Only.
The GE Zoneline Vertical Packaged Terminal Heat Pump, also referred to as VTAC, 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. The AZ91H18E5E features a COP of 3.3 and an EER of 11.
Similar to central heating systems, the GE Zoneline VTAC 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, helping to provide owners with a cost efficient method of heating. Additionally, the outdoor coils include a corrosion treatment for added protection from the elements.
Because the unit is concealed in a closet, with an outside wall rather than out in the open, a GE Vertical Air Conditioner (VTAC or Vertical PTAC) helps you to optimize the floor space you are trying to heat and cool. 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 VTAC is still a through-the-wall installation, its footprint is only about 24" x 24" and it is 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 VTAC 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. The AZ91 units install as Front Installation Only and are hardwire only. The AZ91H09 and AZ91H12 have a recommended platform height that is ¾” below the plenum opening. The AZ91H18 has a recommended platform height that is 1 ½” below the plenum opening. Platform height will need to be lowered, the amount depends on which Heat Pump VTAC BTU size you will order.

This GE AZ91H18E5E Zoneline Vertical Air Conditioner or ZVAC is a 30 amp unit that includes a 5.0 kW electric heater and features a heat pump. It is specifically for commercial use only and uses 265V electrical connection. It offers 18000 BTUs for cooling and 16500 BTUs heat pump capacity. It is also equipped with 3 fan speeds. 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.

New installations of the AZ91H18 require a drain kit.
This item replaces with AZ91H18E5C. Date is yet to be determined.
RAVTRANS kit is required when replacing an AZ75/AZ85 series vertical air conditioner with a new AZ91 series vertical air conditioner. Differences in chassis designs between the AZ75/AZ85 series and AZ91 series require careful installation planning. Changes in drain exit locations and drain routing, electrical connections, platform height, conditioned air duct location and additional space requirements for installation of RAVTRANS kit are all items that need to be considered when replacing a AZ75/AZ85 series unit with an AZ91 series unit. The AZ91 units are FRONT INSTALLATION ONLY. If your existing unit is installed in a SIDE INSTALLATION, it will need to be changed.
