IQ Drive Technology Pushes Heat Pump and A/C Efficiency to New Heights
Over the last decade, we have seen technology make a significant leap in almost every area. Computers, for instance, are exponentially faster than they were ten years ago. Cellular phones let us connect with the world in so many ways that making calls has almost become their secondary function! Not to be outdone, Maytag has taken HVAC technology to new heights in efficiency and quiet comfort.
The efficiency of air conditioning and air-source heat pumps are rated by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER, the greater the efficiency, similar to the miles per gallon of a vehicle. Just ten years ago, the average SEER rating of air conditioners was between 8 and 10. Armed with inverter-rotary technology, Maytag's
IQ Drive has taken the industry to new heights with 24.5 SEER central air conditioners and 22 SEER heat pumps. Both are the highest efficiency models on the market.
Watch the video below to find out more about why Maytag’s inverter driven heat pumps and air conditioners are so much more quiet and efficient than other more conventional models.
