 York
LX Series packaged units by Johnson Controls set a higher
standard to heat and cool residential and light commercial
buildings, featuring a contractor-friendly design, easy
installation and service, reliable technology and an
advanced manufacturing process. The units are 29 percent
more efficient, earning a 14 Seasonal Energy Efficiency
Ratio (SEER) rating and exceeding U.S. Department of Energy
efficiency standards.
“Today’s release is the result of more than 65,000 hours of
customer research and product design and testing. This is
York’s first packaged product to follow our advanced
engineering and manufacturing process,” said Liz Haggerty,
vice president and general manager, Johnson Controls Unitary
Products Group. “From product design to installation and
service, no opportunity to optimize efficiency for the
contractor and their customer has been left out.”

The York LX Series
packaged unit features:
• Optimized heating and cooling solution for residential and light
commercial buildings
• Single-cabinet design versus previous three-cabinet model
• Exact-fit gas/electric hookups and compact cabinet to fit most
roof frames or slabs
• Tested copper tube/aluminum fin condenser coils that combine an
outstanding heat transfer rate with long-term reliability and
corrosion resistance
• Front and top access to the compressor, refrigeration controls and
blower to enhance serviceability, as well as top access to the
condenser fan and motor and side access to the compressor, coil,
heat exchanger and filters
• Slide-out evaporator coil for easier cleaning
• Easier setup and operation with simplified control technology,
including LED status lights to assist contractors
• Tubular stainless steel gas heat exchanger with a lifetime limited
warranty as standard
• Stronger, easily removable base rails (use just two screws per
corner) that improve installation
• Single-stage compressor and single-stage gas heat
Extensive laboratory testing simulates more than 20 years of
operational performance to verify component performance during
weather events, humidity levels, under/over voltage and temperatures
down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the cabinet’s
1,000-hour salt spray rating ensures an exterior finish with a
superior appearance and outstanding corrosion protection.
“Contractors will
appreciate a standardized design that ensures performance and
reliability, simplifies repairs and reduces the number of
replacement parts they must carry in inventory and on service
trucks,” added Bryan Rocky, director of residential product
management at Johnson Controls.
The 2- to 5-ton
capacity units are currently available in cooling with gas heat
configuration. Additional configurations, including cooling with
electric heat, heat pumps with electric heat and heat pumps with gas
heat, will be phased in over 2015.
