Pros
- Five years of parts and seven on the compressor, the longest cover here
- WiFi smart kit and remote come in the box
- Heat pump heating costs far less to run than the electric strip in mild weather
Cons
- EER sits barely above the federal minimum, so cooling bills run higher than the best units
- The warranty only holds if a licensed HVAC technician installs it and you register within 60 days
- Sleeve and grille cost extra for a new install
