• Energy Efficiency: With a 10.5 EER (or a CEER of 9.5), the unit is engineered to deliver efficient cooling that helps lower overall energy costs.
  
• Refrigerant: It uses an advanced R32 refrigerant that is eco-friendly and is known for higher efficiency and a lower global warming potential compared to older refrigerants.
  
• Electric Heating Capacity: The High Mode at 10,600 BTU and Low Mode at 8,600 BTU capacity allow the unit to adjust to varying cold conditions, ensuring optimal warmth while avoiding unnecessary energy usage.
  
• High Mode: 3,450 Watts: In high heating mode, the unit draws 3,450 Watts and is used when maximum heating output is required—typically when the outdoor temperature is very low or when the room needs a rapid increase in temperature.
  
• Low Mode: 2,821 Watts In low heating mode, the unit operates at 2,821 Watts. This reduced power consumption corresponds to a lower heating output (8,600 BTU), which is suitable for milder conditions or when a less aggressive heating approach is sufficient. Heater Amps: 15.0 A (high mode) / 13.5 A (low mode) electrical ratings indicate that the heating element is robust and designed to provide reliable supplemental heat during colder months.
  
• 3 Cooling Speeds: It provides flexibility to tailor cooling performance to current needs.
  
• 3 Fan-Only Speeds: It is ideal for air circulation when active cooling isn’t required, which can help maintain indoor air quality.
  
• Over/Under Configuration: It distributes conditioned air both above and below the unit, enhancing overall room comfort by ensuring that cool or warm air is spread evenly.
  
• 6-Way Directional Airflow: The adjustable louvers allow you to direct the airflow precisely where needed. This feature is particularly useful for larger or irregularly shaped rooms, ensuring every corner receives the desired airflow.
  
• Smart Fan Switch: Automatically adjusts fan operation based on room conditions, which not only optimizes comfort but also improves energy efficiency.
  
• Electronic Touch Controls: An intuitive, responsive interface that allows easy adjustments of temperature, fan speed, mode, and other settings. The electronic digital thermostat offers precise control over the climate within a temperature range of 60°F to 85°F.
  
• Remote Control: This comes with a dedicated remote control (with batteries included) so that users can conveniently operate the unit from anywhere in the room.
  
• Built-In WiFi & SmartHQ™: It allows remote access via a smartphone or tablet, giving you control over your unit whether you're at home or away.
  
• Voice Assistant Integration: Amazon Alexa and Google Home compatibility enables hands-free operation through voice commands, adding convenience to everyday use.
  
• Real-Time Monitoring & Diagnostics: Some smart-enabled features allow monitoring unit performance, receiving alerts, and even troubleshooting remotely. This can lead to faster service response times if issues arise.
  
• Width: 26" overall width (with the installation sleeve) and 25" Excluding the Sleeve ensures a proper fit within the wall opening, leaving a small margin for the sleeve that secures the unit and gives a finished look.
  
• Depth:22" overall depth (including the sleeve) and 20" excluding the sleeve ensures that the internal components are housed securely while the exterior design remains flush with the wall.
  
• Height: 16" overall height with the sleeve) and 15" excluding the sleeve creates a slim profile and maximizes the usable space within the room, ideal for installations where space is at a premium.
  
• Depth to Louvers: 5" depth ensures that the louver assembly is positioned optimally for maximum airflow distribution.
  
• Net Weight: 90.5 lbs weight indicates a robust and durable build designed to last over years of use. It also ensures stability when installed in a thru-the-wall setup.
  
• Slide-In Design: Facilitates easy installation and removal for maintenance, making it simpler to access internal components like filters.
  
• Plug Type: Perpendicular/Right Angle LCDI ensures a secure and neat connection to the power supply.
  
• Cord Length: 68" provides flexibility during installation, especially when dealing with varying wall configurations.
  
• Rigid Frame, Tilt-Out, Washable Filter: The tilt-out design means the filter is easy to remove, clean, and replace, ensuring that dust and allergens are kept at bay. Regular maintenance of the filter helps maintain optimal airflow and prolongs the life of the unit.
