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.
