Copeland has announced the launch of the KF variable-speed scroll compressor with EV4 variable frequency drive platform in North America. The KF is Copeland’s premium variable-speed scroll compressor for the 1.5- to 5-ton North American residential market, designed for premium comfort — especially in cold climates. Energy costs are outpacing inflation in the US with prices up 5% compared to a year ago and roughly 30% since 2021, according to the Consumer Price Index. This is pushing consumers to find ways to reduce their energy consumption. As these factors drive evolution in the HVAC industry, the residential segment is transitioning to more energy-efficient, eco-friendly equipment. Heat pumps help decarbonize heating by replacing or reducing the operating time of fossil fuel-burning furnaces or inefficient electric furnaces.
