Cooling has never been this stylish
With the York Affinity™heat pump line, you’ll enjoy
year ’round comfort from a system designed to perform
in any season. In the summer, the Affinity operates
like an air conditioner, removing heat from the indoors
and transferring it outside. In the winter, the operation
is reversed, taking heat from the outdoor air and
delivering warmth indoors.
It’s time to bring style and efficiency to home comfort
with York

Affinity

heat pumps
The Affinity is so quiet you may never notice it running The QuietDrive System™in our
8T model, features a combination swept-wing fan design, isolated compressor compartment,
composite base pan, and two-stage heating and cooling that provides
quieter operation than conventional systems. It’s our quietest series ever.
All models include high-efficiency compressors, advanced composite
material and advanced fan design to minimize and reduce noise.
Exclusive Hot Heat Pump Technology
Unlike standard heat pumps, the 3S & 8T models incorporate
“Hot Heat Pump” technology to deliver higher discharge air
temperatures. Their innovative compressor and control technology
combine to eliminate initial cold drafts and lower energy costs.
Innovative designs
Designed for efficiency, reliability and comfort
The innovative compressor technology in the York Affinity series is designed to offer energy-saving
efficiency, reduced noise, and even comfort levels.
Designed to outperform
Our 8T model is engineered with a two-stage compressor. The result
is a smoother, nearly continuous cycle that delivers a more efficient,
quieter operation with improved reliability. During cooler days it can
operate at a part-load capacity or when needed, ramp up to full
capacity for increased humidity and temperature control. You’ll hardly notice the system is there as it gives
you years of dependable operation.
* The Affinity can reach as low as 69 dB. For every 3 decibels quieter, sound is cut 50%!

1. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a measure of air-cooling efficiency. A higher SEER rating indicates
a more energy-efficient unit. The government’s established minimum rating for air conditioning is 10.
2. Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) is a measure of air-heating efficiency. A higher HSPF rating
indicates a more energy efficient unit.
3. Versus operating your 15-year or older 6 SEER 3-ton unit.

Innovation Inside and Out
A replacement heat
pump system with
higher efficiency than
your existing system can
dramatically lower operating costs. Available with
energy efficiency ratings of 12 thru 18 SEER and
HSPF ratings of 7.4 thru 8.5 and above, Affinity
series heat pumps are double the efficiency over
many older units. Factor in higher reliability and
reduced service costs, and the Affinity can pay for
itself quickly. York technology keeps your home in
the comfort zone—consistently and efficiently—
and with better circulation and fewer hot or cold spots.
A stamped full metal coil guard
and polymer mesh provides the
ultimate in coil protection
Available in 8T models, the new
York QuietDrive
™
System utilizes
a swept-wing fan design, isolated
compressor compartment, composite
base pan and two-stage cooling to
provide quieter operation and more
energy efficient performance.
To Use The Map and Chart:
Using the map, locate the zone you live in. Determine the
SEER/HSPF of your current system. Cross-reference your zone and
current SEER/HSPF in the table to determine your approximate
annual cooling/heating costs. The difference between your current
cost and that of a higher-SEER/HSPF unit is your estimated annual savings.
(Based on 2001 DOE national average price for electricity [0.0837/kwh].
Assuming the use of 36,000 BTU nominal capacity. Information derived using
Elite Energy Audit Program. Cooling based on Bin data. Operating cost based
on 2,100 sq. ft. and occupancy of 4 people. Actual savings may vary.)

Affinity: part of a total York comfort system
Extend your quiet, efficient comfort with a York furnace or air handling
unit—which are designed for the same level of money-saving efficiency,
quiet operation, and durability. Our variable-speed air handlers and furnaces
feature electronically commutated
motors—which dramatically lowers
your electrical consumption and,
in certain applications, will use less
energy than a 100-watt light bulb.
Count on York for total comfort and
energy savings for all your heating
and cooling needs.
The Affinity 3S & 8T models meet ENERGY STAR®
requirements for energy efficiency.
