Product Overview
For your convenience, we are including a Universal Direct Connect Power Supply with this unit. Choose either a 15 amp, 20 amp or 30 amp hardwire kit.
The GE Zoneline Vertical Packaged Terminal Heat Pump has excellent COP (Coefficient of Performance) ratings. This is the measurement of the efficiency of the heat pump output compared to electric resistance heat. In addition to comparing heat pump output versus electric heat, this number also allows a direct comparison to other heat pumps with the same range capacity. The AZ9VH12DBM features Heat pump capacity range of 4,600 - 14,500 BTUs and a COP of 3.4 @47°F.
The AZ9VH12DBM Zoneline VTAC unit is equipped with a factory installed makeup air system. It will deliver 37 - 90 SCFMs (without a filter) and 18 - 70 SCFMs (with MERV13 filter; RAA13V) of continuous makeup air. Its default setting is 35 CFMs. A unit such as the AZ9VH12DBM will pull air into your space from the outside in an effort to replace indoor air that cannot be recirculated. This is a great option with today's newer buildings that are built much more air-tight than in the past. Frequently, makeup air is used with kitchen exhaust fans, as they tend to pull large amounts of interior air out. Fresh, outdoor air is introduced through a makeup air solution. The AZ9VH12DBM incorporates the makeup air function right into the unit. It provides continuous outdoor air through the vent door and into the room. In addition to providing fresh air, it dehumidifies incoming air when the relative humidity is above 55% and outdoor temperature is above 50°F. Additionally, a make-up air unit may eliminate or reduce the need for a ducted rooftop system. A makeup air VTAC unit is not recommended for installation within two miles of coastal areas.
The newest innovation for the GE Zoneline VTAC series is the Inverter Driven, Variable Speed Compressor, which, thanks to GE's proprietary algorithms, improves all operations of the VTAC system. Cooling, dehumidification, and heat pump operation continually adjust to meet the needs of each unique installation - keeping comfort high and energy costs low! Optimized and Efficient Operation!
Similar to central heating systems, the GE Zoneline Vertical Heat Pump incorporates the use of a reverse cycle defrost system. This allows the heat pump to operate at lower outdoor temperatures without frost accumulation on the outdoor coil. This helps provide owners with a cost efficient method of heating. Additionally, the outdoor coils include a corrosion treatment for added protection from the elements.
A GE Vertical Air Conditioner (VTAC or Vertical PTAC) helps you optimize floor space because the unit is concealed in a closet with an outside wall rather than out in the open. With hidden installation, the room becomes more aesthetically appealing, giving it more of an at-home appearance, with no limitations on furniture placement or window treatment installation.
Although the VTAC is still a through-the-wall installation, its footprint is approximately 24" x 30" and it is hidden inside an enclosure which looks like a closet, versus a standard PTAC unit which is installed in the room taking up over 42" of floor space. The AZ9VH units area bit taller than a typical VTAC at 36-7/8" to account for the Make-up Air Duct. The VTAC uses a wall mounted thermostat and has a top air discharge that can be ducted into one or more rooms - perfect for suite set-ups. The design of the new AZ9VH models includes a one-piece design, which fully integrates with the wall plenum and aligns for a tight seal. This design eliminates the need for building a customized platform on the construction site. Additionally it uses a Quick-Install Plenum that easily installs from inside the building without the need for exterior building access (caulking required).

This GE AZ9VH12DBM Zoneline Vertical Air Conditioner or VTAC features a heat pump and offers 12,100 BTUs nominal cooling capacity with a range of 5,200 - 16,200 BTUs and up to 11,400 BTUs when operated as a Heat Pump. The new AZ95VH Series also give you your choice of power supply. The power amperage you choose is directly related to the amount of electric heat you get. Universal power supply kits are available in 15 Amp; 2.45 kW electric heat, 20 Amp; 3.45 kW electric heat and 30 Amp; 5.0 kW electric heat options. The AZ9VH Series is also equipped with 3 fan speeds. Featured on this unit is the Quick Heat Recovery System. The heat pump incorporates a two stage heat/one stage cooling thermostat that utilizes the resistance heat to bring the room temperature to within 2 degrees of the thermostat set point before initiating the heat pump operation. This helps bring the room up to temperature quickly and allowing for warmer air to be discharged when the heat pump kicks in.
