Specific to the Z; a remote holder is offered as an accessory.
YORK’s indoor-unit claim, backed by the 22 to 26 dB(A) published at the lowest speed.
Display and indicator lights, according to YORK.
Per YORK: 8 in. deep for the indoor unit.
−30 °C: what YORK publishes, and what is missing.
- ENERGY STAR has no record for the Z’s three AHRI numbers (searched October 26, 2026), so we give no measured capacity at −8.3 °C or −15 °C. The “80%” remains a manufacturer claim.
- Montreal’s cold in figures is on the YORK wall units page.
