3.5 Ton, 100,000 BTU
The ACiQ AQ-GPDM34210041 is rated for 3.5 tons on the heat pump and air conditioning side of the unit. On the gas side of the unit, the input is rated for 100,000 BTU, and an output of 81,000 BTU, calculated by multiplying the 81% efficiency with the input BTU.
13.4 SEER2, 81% AFUE
At a standard efficiency, the AQ-GPDM34210041 is 13.4 SEER2 on the electric side of the unit. The gas efficiency of the unit is 81%, or 81% of the gas that goes into the unit is used to heat your home and 19% of the gas is used up in normal operations and is lost out of the flue venting.
Dual Fuel
A dual fuel unit has both an electric-powered heat pump and a gas-powered burner, along with an air conditioner unit built-in. The heat pump functions down to around 30°F, where the unit has a safety cutoff to protect the unit and the gas heating side kicks in, continuing to heat your home at colder temperatures. This feature is a smart option for any situation where electricity is cheaper than gas, like in many propane situations, saving you money on your heating bills over potentially expensive excessive propane refills. While the unit comes from the factory with natural gas orifices, a propane conversion kit can be purchased at an additional cost and field-installed if you would like to take advantage of this money-saving unit.
Warranty
ACiQ provides a 2 year unit replacement warranty, a 10 year parts warranty, and an impressive 20 year heat exchanger warranty. Please note that the unit must be installed following your state and local codes and the unit must be registered online through the manufacturer for the warranty to be upheld.
Durability and Reliability
The exterior of the ACiQ AQ-GPDM34210041 is durable with its heavy-gauge steel design and superior noise isolation insulation. The unit also meets Florida building code unit integrity requirements for hurricane-type weather when properly anchored. For reliability, the unit's blower motor is completely sealed and permanently lubricated. The evaporator coil is also all-aluminum and the redundant gas valve is accompanied by a power-assisted combustion, all increasing overall reliability and durability and providing a peace of mind that your unit will work whenever you need it.
Installation and Maintenance
For ease of installation, the AQ-GPDM34210041 is precharged from the factory with all required refrigerant, decreasing materials costs. The unit is also multi-positional, making it extremely versatile in application, whether you need it to be on the roof or next to the building. For ease of maintenance, the unit has two maintenance access panels: one on the top and one on the side, both making it easier to reach vital parts of the unit as needed.
