    One of the cons is when used with a heat pump. The coils have a problem de-icing. York says they now have that problem solved but we have not tested the new HP condensing units yet.

    They do offer smaller square foot usage with the 13 and up rates. The strait A/C units we tested kicked A$$ but cleaning the coil could be a bit more difficult due to the nature of the beast.
