Frequently Asked

Common questions

Will Universal work with my existing ductwork?+

Yes — Universal is engineered to bolt onto standard residential ductwork and air handlers. Confirm your duct sizing supports the BTU rating (typically 1 sq ft of return per 400 CFM). Existing thermostats that support heat pump mode usually work; check the Universal install manual for thermostat compatibility.

Universal vs traditional ducted heat pump — what's the difference?+

Universal uses inverter-driven variable-speed compression (vs single or two-stage on traditional units), which delivers 20-30% better efficiency at part load and quieter operation. R-454B refrigerant has lower environmental impact and qualifies for stronger rebates. The 10-year warranty is industry-leading.

Do I need a contractor to install Universal?+

Yes — Universal is not a DIY product. Installation involves refrigerant line brazing, vacuum evacuation, and proper electrical work for a 240V system. Use a licensed HVAC contractor.
