Product Overview

Beat the heat—and the cold temperatures—year-round with the Soleus Air KC-30H Window Air Conditioner and Heater. This heat pump-equipped unit offers many features designed to fit your comfort needs, including an adjustable thermostat, two cooling and heating speeds, and a fan-only mode. An easy-access air filter also removes airborne particles and other impurities while cooling or heating your room. The KC-30H provides a maximum of 9,700 BTUs of cooling power and a maximum of 8,500 BTUs of heating power to cover spaces sized from 350 to 400 sq. ft.

Heat Pump Technology

This Soleus air conditioner uses heat pump technology to cool or heat your space. Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. During the summer months, the unit's cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room and moves it outdoors, leaving behind comfortably cool air in your space. In the wintertime, the heat pump reverses this process. The KC-30H's outdoor coil cools to below the outdoor temperature. The heat pump then absorbs the newly created warmth from the outdoors and moves it inside your space.

The Soleus Air KC-30H unit's heat-transferring process proves to be extremely efficient. For example, at an outdoor temperature of 45 degrees F, the heat pump provides 2.5 watts of heat for every watt of electricity it consumes. As outdoor temperatures drop, however, the heating capacity and efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below 45 degrees F, ice may form on the outdoor coil. Under these conditions, the KC-30H unit switches automatically from reverse cycle heat pump mode to the backup auxiliary electric heating mode. No defrosting is required in this mode, and there is no minimum operating temperature.

Installation Options

The Soleus Air KC-30H window AC and heater can be installed through an opening in a wall or through a window. Complete installation instructions—and a supply list—for both configurations are included in the Owner's Manual.

For through-the-wall installation, wall opening measurements should be:

• Height: 16 in., plus twice the thickness of wood used to build a frame.
• Width: 22-5/8 in., plus twice the thickness of wood used to build a frame.

For through-window installation, a window kit is provided with the unit. Acceptable window opening measurements are:

• Width: 27 in. minimum to 39 in. maximum for opening
