Johnson Controls announced that the energy-saving YORK YH2F 15.2 SEER2 1- and 2-Stage heat pump has been recognized in the Good Housekeeping 2023 Home Renovation Awards within the innovative heating and cooling category. After thoroughly reviewing in-depth technical data of thousands of companies/products, the engineers at the Good Housekeeping Institute recognized the YORK YH2F heat pumps for their superior performance in energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality (IAQ), quiet operation and durability.
“We are excited to be recognized by Good Housekeeping,” said David Budzinski, president, global residential and light commercial, Johnson Controls. “Their expertise and consumer insights further emphasize homeowners’ desires to reduce utility costs and enhance indoor air quality. The YH2F heat pump accomplishes both criteria within a flexible, compact design while allowing homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint through a sustainable electric system.”
The 1.5-5-ton YH2F heat pumps meet several energy efficiency standards, including Energy Star/ Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tier 1 requirements, reaching up to 16 SEER2 and up to 8.1 HSPF2 efficiency ratings. This high-performance system offers homeowners the ability to save up to 50% on utility costs compared to older, lower SEER systems while also reducing their carbon footprint. YH2F heat pumps can be matched with a YORK residential gas furnace to create a dual-fuel system that automatically switches between heat sources based on energy costs or heating capacity in extremely cold weather.
Energy-efficient YORK YH2F Heat Pumps may be eligible for tax and rebate incentives of up to $2,000 through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and may qualify for additional localized energy incentives to help homeowners off-set initial equipment costs.
