GE Appliances (GEA), a Haier company, will debut its expanded lineup of heating and cooling solutions at the 2020 Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration Expo (AHR Booth 2725) in Orlando from February 3-5.

From residential to large-scale commercial applications and innovative new technology, GEA’s latest lineup delivers the features customers need with the reliability and product support they expect.

Avoiding temperature fluctuation

This wire-free technology allows the indoor units to communicate without the need for hard wiring

We are thrilled to debut our most diverse product lineup yet,” said Brian Buente, Executive Director Retail and Ductless HVAC at GE Appliances. “We have continued to invest to bring innovative technology to our customers we are focused on getting these products to our customers when and where they need them and supporting them with robust training and tools every step of the way.” 

The all new Haier MRV-5 Series offers 208/230VAC heat recovery and heat pump models equipped with MultiLink. This innovative wire-free technology allows the indoor units to communicate without the need for hard wiring, saving money on installation costs and allowing constant communication within the system to deliver optimal efficiency. Units are equipped for maximum efficiency, control and performance with DC inverters and EVI compressors, large coil and 2-stage sub cooling circuits to increase performance when demand is high, and non-reversing 4-way valves to avoid temperature fluctuation and component stress.

Variable speed inverter technology

Indoor unit options include wall mount, cassette and medium static and slim duct models with a wide range of capacities from 7K BTU for small conference rooms to 54K BTU units that can cover large open spaces that require constant heating and/or cooling. The MRV-5 Series also has optional branch connector kits compatible with Haier FlexFit models.

The GE Connect Series Heat Pump System delivers highly efficient variable speed inverter technology in a slim and quiet package. GE Connect systems are compatible with 24V ducted air handlers and with many 24VAC thermostats. The Capacity Select function allows the system to be configured for 2, 3, 4 or 5 tons of capacity, simplifying inventory for contractors and distributors. Other notable features include advanced logic capabilities that allow the system to match system capacity to the structure’s heating and cooling load.

Superior heating and cooling capacity

The units can provide reliable and superior heating and cooling capacity in a wide range of outdoor temperatures

The units can provide reliable and superior heating and cooling capacity in a wide range of outdoor temperatures from -22ºF to 125ºF. The Haier 14 SEER Side Discharge Air Conditioner is the perfect choice for contractors working in the highly competitive add-on and replacement segment. The copper tube and aluminum fin coil, a high efficiency fan, and reliable rotary compressor deliver quiet, continuous comfort all summer long.

Its low-profile design makes it the ideal choice for tight spaces, and the 24VAC control systems means easy wiring to nearly every air handler or furnace and cooling coil combination.
