West Columbia, SC – Allied Air Enterprises announces new AHRI system ratings for single-stage air conditioners under the Armstrong Air^® and AirEase^™ brands (4SCU16LE) which have been re-tested and re-rated to meet new efficiency metrics. The 16 SEER (up to 15.2 SEER2) air conditioner is an entry-level solution for the Northern U.S. and Canadian markets, and 2023 system matches are now available.

“Built on Allied’s proven design of cooling products, the 16 SEER air conditioner achieves compliance without requiring updates to existing indoor system components – it’s the same indoor equipment they have in stock today,” said Kim McGill, VP-Marketing, Allied Air Enterprises. “This greatly simplifies the 2023 regulatory transition for our distributors and dealers and may even help with total system costs for consumers.” 

Based on the same platform dealers know and use today, the Northern regions allow for an indefinite sell-through period for air conditioners and any existing inventory in the channel may be used in 2023. Allied Air was able to support the channel’s request last year to build 2022 models that come in at a lower price point and help cover three to six months of business in 2023.

Reliably maintaining consistent temperatures, the 4SCU16LE air conditioners offer proven performance with energy efficiency. With thoughtful features like Omniguard^® all-aluminum tube and fin coils with a reliable single-stage scroll compressor, the 16 SEER air conditioner can help deliver quieter operation, reduced energy bills and lower overall maintenance costs.

Features include:

• Compressor sound blanket and rubber grommet mounts help provide quieter operation*
• Sealed contactor with lug connections that protect high voltage connections*
• 45-degree service port access for easy gauge set connections
• Mechanical high- and low-pressure switches with Schrader core to help eliminate brazing and evacuation during service*
• Removable fan grill with enough wire to set on the ground without disconnecting anything
• Four removable louver panels to help make cleaning the coil easy.
• Maximum Heat Transfer^™ Technology
• Integrated Compressor Protection
• ENERGY STAR^® Certified system matches
• 10-year Limited Warranty on the compressor and a 10-year Limited Warranty on parts**
