Location & Building
Used to determine climate-based EFLH values from Appendix G
Year building was constructed affects heating and cooling hours
Number of ccPTHP units being installed
New ccPTHP Equipment
Output cooling capacity at AHRI standard rating conditions (95°F outdoor)
Output heating capacity at AHRI high-temperature rating conditions (47°F outdoor)
EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) for cooling mode. Higher = more efficient. Find on unit's spec sheet.
COP (Coefficient of Performance) for heating. Higher = more efficient. Typical heat pumps: 2.5-4.0.
Standard if installing in a new opening. Replacement if fitting into an existing wall sleeve from an older unit.
Baseline System
What system do you currently have? A wall AC unit is the through-the-wall box typically found in apartments and older homes. 'Weatherized/Outdoor' means a furnace rated for outdoor or exposed locations like a rooftop or open crawlspace — most furnaces installed indoors are non-weatherized.
