General info
heat pump type
Air-to-air
The type of heat pump.
nominal heat output
15.2kW
The nominal heat output of the heat pump.
BTU cooling
22000 BTU
Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a measure of a cooling system's ability to remove thermal energy from an area, under standard conditions. The higher the BTU, the more powerful the AC, which means it will be able to cool a larger space.
BTU heating
18000 BTU
Heating capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). It is a measure of a heating system's ability to add thermal energy to an area, under standard conditions. The higher the BTU, the more powerful the AC, which means it will be able to heat a larger space.
flow temperature
55 °C
The maximum flow temperature. This is important to know if it will be used for underfloor heating or radiators.
audible noise
30 dB
Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in operation. Reduced audible noise improves quality.
The maximum heating temperature.
The lowest temperature it can reach when the heat pump is operating in cooling mode.
The lowest outdoor temperature that the heat pump can still operate in effectively.
Efficiency
has Energy Star label
✔Amana AVZC20
This is an American (USA) label given to highly-efficient products.
SEER
21 Btu/W
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measure of seasonal cooling efficiency for air conditioners and heat pumps. The higher the SEER, the more energy efficient the unit is.
SEER2
22.5
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2) is a rating for seasonal cooling efficiency. It is an updated version of SEER.
Coefficient of performance is a measure of speed and effectiveness for heat pumps that is analogous to thermal efficiency for power cycles. Higher the COP, higher the efficiency of the system.
SCOP
10
Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) is an efficiency measurement for heating. It is an annual average of the Coefficient of Performance (COP).
HSPF2
10
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2 (HSPF2) is an efficiency rating for heat pumps. It is an updated version of HSPF.
Features
smart connectivity
Included
Whether it has built-in smart connectivity. Sometimes it is only included as an optional extra.
supports Wi-Fi
✖Amana AVZC20
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
compatible with Google Assistant
✖Amana AVZC20
It is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to use voice commands to control the device from other Google Assistant-compatible devices.
works with Siri/Apple HomeKit
✖Amana AVZC20
It is compatible with Apple's Siri voice assistant, allowing you to use voice commands to control the device from other Apple HomeKit-compatible devices.
works with Alexa
✖Amana AVZC20
It is compatible with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, allowing you to use voice commands to control the device from other Alexa-compatible devices.
supports a remote smartphone
✔Amana AVZC20
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
has a variable speed compressor
✔Amana AVZC20
Without a variable speed compressor it can only operate it two states, on or off. A variable speed compressor allows it to run at different levels, maximizing efficiency.
has a zoning system
✖Amana AVZC20
A zoning system allows you to set up different areas of the home (such as different rooms) and adjust the temperature in each one independently.
has zone scheduling
✖Amana AVZC20
You can schedule set temperatures for different rooms of your home.
