General Electric ns22h36ma4 Inverter Heat Pump 3 Ton

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC ns22h36ma4 is a 3-ton inverter-driven heat pump rated at 22 SEER, designed for high-efficiency residential and light commercial cooling and heating applications. The inverter-driven compressor modulates capacity continuously rather than cycling on and off, allowing the system to maintain precise setpoints while reducing energy consumption. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit as part of a split-system configuration, connecting it to a matched indoor air handler or furnace coil. The 22 SEER rating places this unit well above minimum federal efficiency standards, making it a strong fit for energy-code-conscious installations.

This unit is suited for residential split-system heat pump installations requiring a 3-ton outdoor condensing section. The inverter compressor technology supports variable-speed operation across a wide range of outdoor ambient temperatures, extending both the heating and cooling seasons compared to single-stage equipment. It is appropriate for new construction and replacement applications where a high-efficiency, variable-capacity outdoor unit is specified.

Key Features

• 3-ton nominal cooling capacity for residential and light commercial loads
• 22 SEER efficiency rating exceeds standard minimum thresholds
• Inverter-driven variable-speed compressor for continuous capacity modulation
• Heat pump operation provides both cooling and heating modes
• Variable-speed design reduces compressor cycling and extends equipment service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inverter heat pump outdoor unit for split-system configurations requiring a 3-ton, 22 SEER variable-capacity condensing section. No specific compatible indoor unit model numbers were provided in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power at the unit disconnect before making any wiring or refrigerant connections. Follow local mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC requirements for disconnect sizing and branch-circuit protection, as well as manufacturer startup procedures for inverter-driven systems. Do not operate the unit without verifying that system refrigerant charge and airflow meet design specifications before commissioning.
