What is AAON unit?

What is AAON unit?

AAON Rooftop Units are engineered for performance, flexibility, and serviceability. AAON Rooftop Units can provide energy-efficient cooling and heating using the unit’s refrigeration circuit. Reversing the flow of the unit’s refrigeration circuits allows the indoor coil to be used as a heating coil.

How does an AAON unit work?

AAON units are designed for execution, adaptability, and workableness. The unbending polyurethane foam insulated cabinet construction and direct drive in reverse bent plenum fans permit the units to have calm, energy-effective airflow with high static pressing factor capacities.

What is a heat pump heating system?

A heat pump extracts heat from the cold outside air and transfers it inside our home. To this end, a compressor inside the device uses electricity to increase the temperature of the heat extracted from the outside air. The heat pump can also provide cooling by transferring warm indoor air to the outside.

How do I read an AAON serial number?

1. Style 1: 200108AKG26241. Year of manufacture can be determined by using the 1st – 4th numerical digits.
2. Style 2: 97JKGK153. Year of manufacture can be determined using the 1st & 2nd numerical digits.
3. Style 3: AKEC08701. Year of manufacture can be determined using the 6th &7th numerical digits.

What is the major disadvantage of a heat pump system?

A disadvantage of installing a heat pump includes a high upfront cost for the system. The cost to purchase and install a heat pump system ranges from $15,000 to $20,000 depending on the efficiency rating of the system, layout of your house, brand, and the season.

How do you tell the tonnage of a model number?

Simply divide the BTUs by 12,000 to calculate the tonnage of your unit. For example, if your air conditioner is 36,000 BTUs, you have a 3-ton unit. Some manufacturers bury tonnage or BTU information in their model numbers. Look for an even, two-digit number between 18 and 60.

How many BTUs is a ton?

12,000 BTU/hr.
That number is generally rounded up to 12,000 BTU/hr. So, a one ton air conditioning unit has the capacity to cool up to 12,000 BTU/hr.

Why you shouldn’t get a heat pump?

Heat pumps are energy-efficient alternatives to ACs and furnaces, however, even these systems have their own disadvantages. Heat pumps have a high upfront cost, some types have a complicated installation process, and a lot of units become less efficient as the temperatures drop.

How can I tell the tonnage of my AC?

First, find out your the area of you room. Then divide it by 600 to get the basic capacity. So, if you room is 100 sq. feet, the basic AC capacity required will be 0.167 tons (100 / 600).

At what temperature does a heat pump stop being efficient?

between 25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit
Heat pumps do not operate as efficiently when temperatures drop to between 25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for most systems. A heat pump works best when the temperature is above 40. Once outdoor temperatures drop to 40 degrees, heat pumps start losing efficiency, and they consume more energy to do their jobs.
