14 SEER, 95% AFUE Gas/Electric Packaged Systems

Engineered for Quality

Westinghouse has raised the bar on energy efﬁciency with the

14 SEER/95% AFUE packaged gas/electric system. Most other

packaged systems achieve only 80% AFUE or a little higher. Our

Westinghouse system reaches an unprecedented efﬁciency level

of 95% AFUE, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars on your

gas bill every winter.

AFUE measures the amount of heat actually delivered to your

house compared to the amount of fuel that you must supply.

Thus, a gas/electric packaged system that has an 80% AFUE

rating converts 80% of the fuel that you supply to heat – the other

20% is lost out of the chimney. The higher the number, the more

efﬁciently your system operates.

For example, the 95% AFUE rating, which means that the gas/

electric packaged system functions at or above 95% efﬁciency, is

the highest rating available on packaged systems today.

More than just better indoor comfort, we want you to feel

comfortable investing in a product that will perform when you

need it most. Each Westinghouse packaged product is checked

approximately 78 times during the manufacturing process then

run-tested to check operation performance. In the ﬁnal analysis,

computer-automated testing is performed to capture operation

data for future reference should your contractor ever need it.

Westinghouse packaged systems are built with proven components

to provide safe, clean and reliable comfort year-round. All packaged

systems feature Anteater® or Anteater MC® Micro-Channel evaporator

coils for increased resistance to formicary corrosion, the number

one cause of coil leaks.

Westinghouse offers you the perfect choice for

consistent home comfort. Let cold winds blow outside,

because your Westinghouse packaged system will

provide a consistent temperature while improving

comfort. The two-stage heating technology works at

a higher capacity on colder days or lower capacity

on mild days to improve air circulation and minimize

indoor temperature variations.

The SmartLite® control board learns the igniter’s heat-

up characteristics. It then adapts the ignition time

to the packaged systems characteristics, resulting in

extending the life of the igniter. The SmartLite control

board contains a program that varies the igniter heat-

up time interval. It learns the heat-up characteristics

of the igniter in the packaged systems by searching

for the threshold of ignition failure. It then adjusts the

heat-up interval on the next trial accordingly. This is

accomplished by microchip software programming.

The cabinet is finished with a Silicone-protective

polyurethane coating that passed a 950 hour salt

spray test for harsher climates. It protects your unit

from corrosion 50% more than standard outdoor

finishes. Its wire guard coated with earth-friendly

epoxy and hail guard protect coil against flying debris.

Fan blade design combined with custom condenser

fan orifice delivers quiet operation.

Westinghouse two-stage, variable-speed gas/electric

products are energy-efficient, environmentally

responsible products.

WARRANTY

PLEDGE

QUALITY

When a packaged system is truly

built to exacting standards of quality

and durability, the manufacturer’s

confidence shows in its warranty.

Westinghouse products offer a 10-year limited

warranty on all parts, and a 10-year Quality Pledge

at no extra cost (when product is registered).

With our 10-year Quality Pledge, we will replace

the entire unit should the compressor or heat

exchanger fail within the first 10 years, registration

required.

To learn more about our product warranties, ask

your Westinghouse contractor, or visit us on the

web at www.westinghousehvac.com for details.

ENERGY STAR® certification is awarded to products designed to reduce

energy consumption and utility costs. To qualify, gas/electric, iHybrid,

packaged air conditioner and heat pump systems must have a Seasonal

Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 14.0 or higher and an Energy

Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 11.0 or higher. Packaged heat pumps must also

have a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of 8.0 or higher.
