Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Definitions=20
Being an informed HVAC buyer begins with understanding the industry =
language. Your YORK Dealer will use terms such as the following:

Efficiency Terms=20

In 1992, the Federal Government established minimum efficiency =
requirements for all heating and air conditioning equipment. If your =
present HVAC equipment -- a furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning =
system -- was purchased and installed before that date, it could be =
highly inefficient by today's standards.

Efficiency ratings are important to understand because installing a new =
unit could achieve significant energy cost reductions. And that could =
save you from the higher operating expenses of some pre-1992 equipment.

AFUE% =3D Furnace Efficiency. "AFUE" is a measure of a furnace's heating =
efficiency. It stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The higher =
the AFUE%, the more efficient the product. The government's established =
minimum rating for furnaces is 78%.
   =20
    HSPF =3D Heat Pump Heating Efficiency. It stands for Heating =
Seasonal Performance Factor, or HSPF. The higher the HSPF rating, the =
more efficient a heat pump is at heating your home. There is no =
legislated minimum rating.
   =20
    SEER =3D Cooling Efficiency. "SEER" is a measure of cooling =
efficiency for air conditioning products. SEER stands for Seasonal =
Energy Efficiency Ratio. The higher the SEER rating number, the more =
energy efficient the unit. The government's established minimum rating =
for air conditioning is 10.
   =20
    Basic Heating And Air Conditioning Definitions=20

Air Handler. The portion of a central air conditioning or heat pump =
system that moves heated or cooled air throughout a home's ductwork. In =
some systems, a furnace handles this function.
   =20
    Heat Source. A body of air or liquid from which heat is collected. =
In an air source heat pump, the air outside the house is used as the =
heat source during the heating cycle.=20
   =20
    Indoor Coil. The portion of a heat pump or central air conditioning =
system that is located in the house and functions as the heat transfer =
point for warming or cooling indoor air.=20
   =20
    Outdoor Coil/Condensing Unit. The portion of a heat pump or central =
air conditioning system that is located outside the home and functions =
as a heat transfer point for collecting heat from or dispelling heat to =
the outside air.
   =20
    Single Package. A year 'round heating and air conditioning system =
that has all the components completely encased in one unit outside the =
home.=20
   =20
    Split System. A heat pump or central air conditioning system with =
components located both inside and outside of a building -- the most =
common types installed in homes.=20
   =20
    Supplementary Heat. The auxiliary or emergency heat provided at =
temperatures below a heat pump's balance point. It is usually electrical =
resistance heat.=20
   =20
    Technical Heating And Air Conditioning Definitions=20

Balance Point. An outdoor temperature -- usually between 30=B0F to =
45=B0F -- at which a heat pump's output exactly equals the heating needs =
of the house. Below the balance point, supplementary electric resistance =
heat is needed to maintain indoor comfort.=20
   =20
    British Thermal Unit (Btu). The amount of heat required to raise the =
temperature of one pound of water (about one pint) by one degree =
Fahrenheit.=20
   =20
    Coefficient of Performance (COP). A ratio calculated by dividing the =
total heating capacity provided by the heat pump, including circulating =
fan heat but excluding supplementary resistance heat (Btu's per hour), =
by the total electrical input (watts) x 3.412. (See Heating Seasonal =
Performance Factor, above.)=20
   =20
    Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). A ratio calculated by dividing the =
cooling capacity in Btu's per hour (Btuh) by the power input in watts at =
a given set of rating conditions, expressed in Btuh per watt =
(Btuh/watt). (See Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, above.)=20
   =20
