Central AC System GuideYork sells central air conditioners across its LX and Affinity Series. The Affinity YXV leads with a variable-capacity inverter compressor and communicating controls. York backs the unit with a long registered parts warranty and lifetime compressor coverage.
Efficiency and Compressor Technology
The YXV is York's flagship variable-capacity air conditioner in the Affinity Series. York's technical guide lists the YXV series efficiency at 20.0 SEER2. This is the top cooling efficiency in York's residential air conditioner lineup.
The YXV uses a Variable Capacity Inverter Controlled Scroll Compressor. York states the design is a communicating, variable capacity system. The inverter-controlled scroll compressor modulates output to match the home's cooling load.
Warranty Coverage
York ties its strongest YXV warranty terms to online registration. York's technical guide states an Extended 10-Years limited parts warranty and an Extended Lifetime limited compressor warranty. The lifetime compressor term applies when the unit is registered online within 90 days of installation.
Without registration, York's guide notes a limited 5-Year parts warranty that extends to 10 years with registration. The lifetime compressor coverage is the premium system warranty tier.
