High-Efficiency Heating, A/C & Water Heater Systems

The Echelon Series HC8B models are the outdoor part of a versatile heat pump system. They are designed to be custom matched with one of our complete line of evaporator sections, each designed to serve a specific function. Matching air handlers are available for upflow, downflow, and horizontal left or right applications to provide a complete system. Alternately, add-on coils are available for use with modular air handlers or upflow, downflow, and horizontal furnaces. Electric heaters and field installed accessories are also available as needed. All heat pump models are Hybrid Heat compatible.

• Superior Coil Protection - A stamped, decorative metal coil guard protects the tube-in-fin coil from debris and other damaging material.
• Protected Compressor - The compressor is safeguarded against abnormal pressures and temperatures by an internal pressure relief valve, an internal temperature sensor, and factory high and low pressure system controls. A factory installed liquid line filter-drier further protects the compressor against moisture and debris.
• Environmentally Friendly Refrigerant - The next generation refrigerant R-410A delivers environmentally friendly performance with zero ozone depletion.
• Durable Finish - An automotive quality finish provides the ultimate protection from harmful UV rays and rust creep, ensuring a long-lasting, high quality appearance.
• Hot Heat Pump - An optional mode that slows the indoor fan for higher register air temperatures and premium comfort.
• WhisperDrive System - Features combination of swept-wing fan, composite base pan, isolated compressor compartment, and two-stage compressor to reduce overall sound to a mere whisper.
• Low RPM ECM Fan Motor - Helps to reduce airflow noise.
• Swept Wing Fan - A fan design boasting technology adapted from aeronautic and defense engineering provides for whisper-quiet operation by allowing air to flow smoothly and efficiently across the fan tips.
• Composite Base Pan - The strong and durable composite base pan provides added strength while resisting rust and corrosion, as well as reducing sound and vibration.
• Isolated Compressor Compartment - A molded composite bulkhead isolates the refrigeration components and the compressor from the rest of the unit, reducing sound and vibration.
• Factory Installed Filter-Drier - A factory installed, solid core liquid line filter-drier removes harmful debris and moisture from the system
• Communications Capable - Requiring only a simple 4-wire installation, the communicating capability enables the use of the Touch Screen Communicating Control, allowing real time visibility of system operation and the use of diagnostic features, while still maintaining the ability to function with a traditional thermostat.
• Complete System Control - These heat pumps utilize a unique microprocessor defrost control system to provide optimal comfort as well as monitor the overall system for reliable operation. In the event improper operating conditions occur (high temperature and/or high pressure), the system will automatically shut the system down to extend the life of the heat pump. The defrost control features an internal memory to aid the technician in troubleshooting, reducing service time and cost.
