The new product line is available for YORK®, Luxaire®, Coleman®, Champion®, Fraser-Johnston®, Guardian® and Evcon brands.

“The Johnson Controls team is pleased to bring forward products that not only are ahead of the curve in meeting the upcoming energy efficiency regulations, but that also deliver the affordability and reliability that are a must for homeowners,” said Doug Schuster, vice president and general manager, Global Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls. “The new 14.3 SEER2 air conditioners can save up to 40% on energy bills compared to older low SEER systems – all while being offered at an entry level price point.”

The new systems meet the DOE required 14.3 SEER2 cooling efficiency targets as well as the EER2 requirements for the southeastern and southwestern U.S. regions. Expertly designed, engineered and rigorously tested, these air conditioners offer the latest in energy savings and lasting performance for years to come.

“Homeowners are looking for efficiency and effectiveness, and these new models deliver both – ensuring comfort and satisfaction in their purchase,” said Bart Balthazor, residential product manager, Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls. “These new models are available for purchase in the U.S. and Canada through our direct and indirect channels.”
