Our take in 30 seconds
Best for: mixed climates with occasional hard freezesStrengths
- Variable-speed compressor: quieter, steadier temperatures and better humidity control
- Also sold under 4 other badges, so you can compare more quotes for the same unit
Good to know
- Uses R-410A, a refrigerant being phased down; future service may cost more
- Efficiency depends on the indoor unit: SEER2 ranges 15.5–18.5, so ask which pairing you're quoted

Heating capacity as it gets colder
A heat pump's output falls as outdoor temperature drops. This is the certified heat output of the York HMH72B341 at the three ENERGY STAR test temperatures (cooling capacity is 35,200 BTU/h for reference).
Retention at 17°F: 78% · at 5°F: 72%. Learn how to use these numbers in our cold-climate guide.

Same equipment sold under other brands
These listings share the same certifying manufacturer (Johnson Controls, Inc.) and identical certified capacities and efficiency ratings, so they are almost certainly the same hardware with a different badge. If you get quotes for any of them, you are comparing installation price and warranty, not equipment. How rebadging works.
