The ProLine XE Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater is the latest advancement in electric water heating. The hybrid electric design integrates heat pump technology to produce a product twice as efficient as a standard electric water heater and can reduce water heating cost by up to 71 percent.
Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems recently launched the latest additions to its top-tier Evolution series with the Evolution Extreme 26 air conditioner (Model 186CNV) and Evolution Extreme 24 heat pump (Model 284ANV).
Carrier recently launched two new flagship products — the Infinity 26 air conditioner (Model 24VNA6) and Infinity 24 heat pump (Model 25VNA4) with Greenspeed Intelligence. These products are available just in time for cooling season and boast a number of industry-leading features and numerous innovations with 12 patents pending.
Model ECV-40 is the latest addition to Greenheck’s energy core ventilator (ECV) line. The ECV-40’s new design features a dual-fan arrangement consisting of direct drive mixed-flow plenum fans with variable frequency drives (VFDs) replacing the forward-curved fan typically found in energy core ventilators.
Both units feature a variable-speed capacity operating range down to 25 percent in 1 percent increments and provides high-ambient cooling operation with full power up to 125F. The Infinity 24 also offers heating operation to -15F.
Optimized to ensure the best unit performance in the smallest footprint available, the ECV-40 features double wall construction and optional hinged access with additional options for frost/economizer and stand-alone microprocessor controls.
The ProLine pulls heat from the surrounding air and deposits it into the 80-gallon storage tank, allowing the heater to operate in the most efficient mode. These models also have additional elements that help the water heater recover quickly during periods of high demand.
The Evolution Extreme 26 and 24 offer a number of enhancements designed with technicians in mind. Bluetooth technology is available on the outdoor unit, making it unnecessary to access outdoor unit diagnostic information inside the home. Over-the-air software updates are available and technicians can assess over 130 diagnostic points.

LG Electronics USA Component Solutions’ refrigeration scroll compressor features improvements inspired by commercial service technicians and OEMs looking for advanced performance and reliability.
The new RIDGID Model 286 Soil Pipe Cutter makes it easier than ever for trade professionals to get quick, repeated cuts on soil pipe up to six inches.
Taco Comfort Solutions has expanded its family of easy to use, high-efficiency ECM circulators with the addition of the 0034e and 0034ePlus models. With a maximum of 34 feet of head and 50 gpm, the new circulators offer up to 85 percent energy savings over a conventional circulator.
As part of the YORK LX Series, YEE single-stage heat pumps offer 14 SEER cooling and 8.2 HSPF heating efficiency performance. YEE heat pumps provide homeowners with a lower cost solution to meet their budget and specific application needs.
The compressor’s durability-improving innovations include a more sensitive vacuum prevention device and a stronger, stress-tested discharge reed valve that withstands the harsh operating conditions posed by refrigeration applications and limits excessive sound levels. >> lg.com/global/business/ compressor-motor-products
The tool’s single stroke operation streamlines the cutting process while the outward-facing hooks simplify connecting clay and cast iron pipe. The integrated handles are easy to adjust, helping users optimize angles and make repeated cuts with less fatigue. RIDGID offers a full line of soil pipe cutters, including manual and powered options. Each is purpose-built for the toughest of jobsites and is backed by the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty. >> ridgid.com

These circulators are available with cast iron or NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified stainless steel volutes, so they are ideal for closed-loop heating systems as well as domestic hot water recirculation systems. Both circulators also offer a convenient, rotatable control box cover for a professional look, no matter the orientation of the installed circulator.
YEE heat pumps are optimized to be paired with indoor equipment, such as air handlers and gas furnaces, with electronically communicated motors (ECM). The heat pumps are dual fuel compatible, meaning that the hybrid system automatically switches between electric, gas and heat pump heat automatically, based on whichever is most efficient, resulting in additional cost savings.
