High volume hot water for radiant floor, domestic hot water or pool & spas
The York® Affinity™ Y5WZ is a water to water hydronic system that can handle the high volume domestic hot water demands of today’s larger homes. Also perfect for radiant floor and pool & spa heating, the Y5WZ is the right choice for your high capacity hot water needs.1
Efficiency
Geothermal heat pumps are much more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems. The York® Affinity™ Y5WZ is rated with an amazing 18.1 EER and 3.3 COP and can reduce water heating costs by as much as 60% per year. Efficiency translates into savings.
Safe
No combustion or flames are used to operate a geothermal heat pump, making it a safe choice for your home and family. Our systems merely move heat to and from the ground rather than by burning natural gas, propane, or oil.
Cost effective
Geothermal heat pumps are so efficient that any added cost over traditional equipment is usually recovered in just a few years. And because they have a lifespan of 20-25 years, your investment will last longer and your return on investment will grow year by year.
Environmentally responsible
Since our units don’t burn expensive, polluting fossil fuels, they’re the most environmentally responsible options available today. Utilizing geothermal can minimize acid rain threats, air pollution, and the greenhouse effect.
Comfortable
A York® Affinity™ Y5WZ provides consistent comfortable heating when used in radiant floor applications and is also perfect for 100% domestic hot water use.
Affordable peace of mind
York® Affinity™ Y5WZ units come with warranties up to 10 years for parts and labor allowances. Other options are available, so see your York® Contractor for details.
Compressors
Two high efficiency scroll compressors are used to reduce operating costs and provide years of reliable operation. Sound attenuating compressor blankets and double-isolation mounting plates are used in every unit for quiet operation.
Controls
A sophisticated control board monitors and controls the heat pump operation, and the user interface can be used to aid in diagnostics and unit setup. Other features are high/low pressure protection, freeze detection, and loss of charge detection.
Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers
Brazed plate heat exchangers provide increased efficiency, performance, and reliability. They’re also much smaller than traditional coaxial heat exchangers, so they allow Affinity™ Y5WZ units to provide high capacity performance in a compact unit.
IntelliStart
An optional soft starter is available to reduce start-up amperage by up to 70%. This valuable accessory can help eliminate light flicker and power surges on your sensitive electronics as well as prolong the lifespan of the compressors.
Cabinet
The Affinity™ Y5WZ unit cabinet is fabricated from heavy gauge steel with a durable finish for long-lasting beauty and protection. Control panels can be placed on either end, allowing piping to be located at the front or the back of the unit to improve serviceability. Large lift-out panels provide access from all four sides.
