YORK 2-zone heat pumps: ten outdoor units, from 18,000 to 42,000 BTU/h, for two rooms
For two rooms, all ten YORK outdoor units fit: W or M, from 18,000 to 42,000 BTU/h. YORK publishes 44 combinations of two heads for each series, from 9,000 + 9,000 to 24,000 + 24,000 BTU/h.
At 2 heads, the number of combinations YORK publishes, unit by unit.
YORK 2020 catalogue, “Possible outdoor / indoor combinations” charts.
Every 2-head combination, unit by unit.
Pick the outdoor unit size: here are the head sizes YORK allows on it, for the W Series and the M Series.
Head sizes in thousands of BTU/h (9 = 9,000 BTU/h); after the = sign, the sum of nominal sizes in BTU/h. Output stays that of the outdoor unit: YORK asks that the outdoor unit be sized for the whole house’s load, and each head for its own room. We don’t install a combination that is not on YORK’s list.
The 18,000 BTU/h units: two heads, no more.
