Welcome to the <strong>Whirlpool</strong> ® EcoCentral Living System<br />
Maintaining an eco-conscious home doesn’t<br />
mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Every <strong>Whirlpool</strong> ®<br />
HVAC product family features EcoCentral functions<br />
related to home comfort, home health, energy<br />
consumption and money savings.<br />
Save Energy and Money with a <strong>Whirlpool</strong> ® EcoCentral Living System<br />
EcoCentral living system products are designed to promote efficient and healthy<br />
living spaces. These products meet or exceed industry standards and carry at least<br />
one environmentally friendly feature, such as:<br />
• Use of chlorine-free R410A refrigerant<br />
• A 14 or above <strong>SEER</strong> rating for air conditioners and heat pumps<br />
or a 90% or greater AFUE rating for gas furnaces<br />
• A hybrid heating system with the dual fuel capabilities<br />
of a heat pump and a gas furnace<br />
• The promotion of healthy indoor air, through an indoor<br />
air quality product that provides air filtration, moisture<br />
removal and antibacterial ultraviolet light protection<br />
• The efficient use of energy to circulate warm or cool air<br />
throughout your home for improved comfort<br />
If your current cooling or heating system is more than 10 years old, upgrading<br />
to an eco-friendly system will not only reduce your family’s energy use, but can<br />
also help you save money on utility bills. Talk to your <strong>Whirlpool</strong> ® Home Cooling<br />
& <strong>Heat</strong>ing dealer about which high-efficiency products are the best options<br />
for your home.

Superior Indoor Comfort and Energy Savings<br />
Keep your indoor temperature pleasant year-round with an <strong>18</strong> <strong>SEER</strong> <strong>Whirlpool</strong> <strong>Gold</strong> ®<br />
air conditioner or heat pump—our most energy efficient units. Both the<br />
<strong>18</strong> <strong>SEER</strong> air conditioner and heat pump use the environmentally friendly refrigerant<br />
R410A. This chlorine-free refrigerant is not only better for the environment, it<br />
also transfers heat more efficiently.<br />

<strong>SEER</strong> Rating<br />
What Is <strong>SEER</strong><br />
The efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps is determined by the <strong>SEER</strong> rating. The higher<br />
the rating, the more energy efficient the product is and the greater the potential for savings on<br />
energy costs. If your current air conditioner is more than 10 years old it most likely has a <strong>SEER</strong><br />
rating of 10 or less.<br />
The chart above shows examples of potential energy savings. For every $100 spent to cool<br />
your home with an 8 <strong>SEER</strong> air conditioner an <strong>18</strong> <strong>SEER</strong> unit would cost approximately $39.<br />
Actual savings will depend upon the efficiency of your current system. To figure specific<br />
savings information for your household, use the energy calculators and software at the<br />
energysavers.gov website.<br />
Also, check to see if your local utility company offers a rebate program for the purchase and<br />
installation of an ENERGY STAR ® qualified air conditioner.<br />
Quiet Operation<br />
Enjoy quiet comfort. The fan blades on the W4GC8 series air conditioners and W4GH8 series<br />
heat pumps are specially designed to reduce noise. A swept-wing blade with serrated edges<br />
reduces turbulence and enhances performance. In addition to its heavy-duty compressor sound<br />
blanket, the two-stage compressor is potentially up to four times quieter than a reciprocating<br />
compressor. The W4GH8 heat pump also offers Quiet Partner technology for reduced noise<br />
levels during the defrost cycle.<br />
