Better Air Conditioners & Heat Pumps

What are the benefits of variable speed systems?

A single stage air conditioner is sized to cool your home on the hottest day of the year. It delivers 100% of its cooling capacity at all times. When you install a Tappan air conditioner or heat pump with an indoor section featuring a GE ECMTM variable speed motor, you’ll experience better comfort and lower utility costs. Having a variable speed indoor section means that a Tappan 13 SEER outdoor unit operates at 14 SEER, and a 14 SEER outdoor unit operates at 15 SEER. The variable speed motor can save $150 per year plus another $240 in electrical costs when your thermostat is set for continuous fan operation*.

The air conditioner automatically maintains its programmed level of air flow regardless of dynamic changes in static pressure. Static pressure will change with a dirty air filter, zoning changes and obstructed supply registers as an example. Better indoor air quality is achieved quietly and inexpensively by setting the motor to run continuously at reduced air-flow levels between cooling cycles. The Tappan variable speed system also operates quieter than conventional motors, while reducing temperature swings, indoor moisture, and hot spots.

		Your Tappan air conditioner or heat pump has been carefully designed and engineered to give you outstanding energy efficiency and years of trouble-free operation. No detail has been left out. Tappan uses only proven components like the Copeland® scroll compressor. It’s the leaders choice for efficiency, durability, and longevity. Just another “value added” manufacturing step built into all Tappan products. With this system, a variable furnace and matched indoor coil section is required if you have gas or oil heat. If you have a heat pump, then the matched variable speed air handler indoor section is required to complete the system.  14-15 SEER Indoor Air Handler Section  14-15 SEER Indoor Coil Section
