The iQ Drive® Comfort System
The Westinghouse iQ Drive® Complete-Comfort System is quite simply the smartest a comfort system available. It’s the only system that not only controls temperature, but achieves the most consistent levels of humidity, air quality and ventilation. And all at the lowest sound levels in the industry.
The Westinghouse iQ Drive Comfort System, like all central standard air conditioning systems, has three major components. The outdoor component (the iQ Drive air conditioner) works with the indoor component (the iQ Drive air handler) to circulate cool air throughout the home. The third component, the iQ Drive thermostat, allows you to manage total indoor comfort. This entire system is designed to deliver better efficiency, improved air quality and more reliable comfort for years to come.
So Smart, Its iQ Delivers the Highest Energy Efficiency
The iQ Drive System utilizes inverter rotary technology to achieve the highest efficiency level available today. The inverter board is the brain of the system, while the rotary compressor is the heart. By communicating together, they can condition the air perfectly at all times, while using the least amount of energy.

Traditional compressors just turn on and off – operating at 60 hertz when running. But iQ Drive inverter technology has almost infinite modulation for a perfectly even variance. It runs as low as 15 hertz, so it uses less power. So while today’s compressors kick on at full speed to compensate for a small change in temperature, iQ Drive inverter technology alters the compressor speed just enough to match the slightest change in air temperature. So in addition to minimal power utilization, you get a more consistent temperature level – and fewer hot and cold spots. |

So Quiet, You May Forget You Have It
Thanks to its impressive efficiency, the Westinghouse iQ Drive 24.5 SEER Comfort System delivers the lowest sound levels in the industry. Today’s traditional compressors operate at 3,600 rpm power. So even with full insulation, sound blanket, sound-absorbing base, lubricated motor and swept fan blade, they make enough noise to be heard inside the home. By comparison, the Westinghouse iQ Drive rotary compressor can ramp down to 900 rpm for ultra-low power and an ultra-low noise level. That makes for a quieter home, especially at night. |

Most homes built in the last 10 years have 8 to 10 SEER air conditioners. With a 24.5 SEER system you should see significant savings over your existing air conditioner.
Annual savings based on 36,000 BTU unit, 1500 cooling load hours, and .08/kwh. Actual savings may vary depending on climate conditions, energy rates and patterns of usage. | |
