Pros
  • Heat pump heating costs far less to run than the electric strip in mild weather
  • Fits a standard 42 inch sleeve, so it swaps in for most older PTACs
  • Wall thermostat terminals let a central thermostat run it
  • Efficiency comfortably above the federal minimum for its size
Cons
  • No remote and no app, so it is run from the unit or a wired thermostat
  • Only the first year covers every part; years two to five cover certain parts only
  • Sleeve and grille cost extra for a new install
