New Tempstar®
Small Package Products Offer Easy Installation, Dealer-Friendly Features
LEWISBURG,
Tenn., July 17, 2009 – International Comfort Products, LLC (ICP) introduces a completely new line of reliable 13, 14 and 15  seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) Tempstar® brand small package products designed to provide contractors with new features for easy installation and servicing.
ICP designed this new small package product line after conducting numerous focus groups with dozens of dealers from all across North America. ICP General Manager J.T. Holtschlag explains, “We applied the dealers’ feedback during the design process and created a line of small package products that are tougher, quieter, easier to install and easier to service than previous models.”
Available in two- through five-ton cooling capacities, the new Tempstar small package line uses R‑410A refrigerant and includes both premium-featured products and cost-competitive entry-level products at all three efficiency levels. Models are available in four configurations, including package dual fuel, package gas/electrics, heat pumps and air conditioners.
These new package products provide dealers and homeowners with a combination of attractive features and benefits, including:
-
Quiet, Comfort: The high efficiency X-13 indoor blower motor delivers efficient airflow to provide homeowner comfort. These new products feature quieter operation as a result of additional stability provided by a newly designed, formed top panel.
-
Durability: Full perimeter galvanized steel base rails give the units extra stability. Mainline PDS and PGS models feature durable stainless steel heat exchangers that have high-temperature capability and resist corrosion.
-
Simple Installation: These compact new units fit in the bed of a standard pick-up truck. None of them—even the 5-ton cooling capacity model—is wider than 45 inches or longer than 48 inches. The steel base rails make units easier to load onto a truck, easier to transport to the job site and easier to carry to the installation location. These package units are also designed for ground or rooftop applications. They are shipped for horizontal application, and are easily converted to down-shot.
-
Easy Service: The new small package units have three separate easy-access service panels, with embossed images on each panel to indicate compressor access, blower compartment and control box. This enables service technicians to keep the unit on while running diagnostics, with one panel open and the others closed.
-
U. S. HVAC tax credit: Many of the new Tempstar brand small package products qualify for the 2009 U.S. HVAC tax credit, which requires package products to achieve a SEER of at least 14 and an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of at least 12. Package heat pumps must also achieve an HSPF of at least 8. For a list of qualifying products, visit the GoTempstar.com Web site.
-
Accessories: Accessories available for the new small package units include manual dampers, filter racks, economizers and roof curbs.
-
Premium Warranties: Tempstar Maximum Strength warranties cover the new small package products with up to 10 years of limited warranty on parts, including the compressor; up to a lifetime limited warranty on the heat exchanger, and up to seven years of No Hassle Replacement™ limited warranty. The No Hassle Replacement limited warranty provides a new equivalent replacement unit if the heat exchanger, compressor or outdoor coil fails during the No Hassle Replacement limited warranty period (with a labor allowance for the dealer). Restrictions apply. Action may be required. Contact your local Tempstar distributor for details.
These new products will be phased into production throughout the remainder of 2009. Check with your local Tempstar distributor for availability in your area.
