  • icomfort™-enabled technology—allows the heat pump, when installed with the easy-to-use programmable icomfort Wi-Fi™ Touchscreen Thermostat, to exchange information and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance and efficiency**
  • ENERGY STAR® qualified—meets or exceeds EPA guidelines for energy efficiency
  • Energy StarThis product has been designated as one of the Most Efficient ENERGY STAR qualified products in 2012. Products that are recognized as the Most Efficient of ENERGY STAR in 2012 prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting rigorous energy efficiency performance levels set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
  • High-efficiency outdoor coil—provides exceptional heat transfer and low air resistance for high-efficiency operation that can lower your cooling bills
  • Dual-fuel capability—can be combined with a gas furnace to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency by alternating between electric and gas heat, optimizing energy use and minimizing heating costs

How It Works



Quiet Operation

The quietest and most efficient heat pump you can buy

  • SilentComfort™ technology delivers sounds levels as low as 58db, providing the ultimate in quiet, consistent cooling.
  • SilentComfort™ Fan Grille—uses patent-pending, vortex-suppression technology to reduce sound of airflow exiting unit, providing a quieter environment outside your home
  • Precision molded compressor sound cover—minimizes operating sounds
  • Insulated compressor compartment—minimizes operating sounds with innovative materials and industry-leading, vibration-isolating mounts

Home Comfort

  • Dependable two-stage scroll compressor with Silent Comfort technology—operates at low stage most of the time for quieter, more efficient performance
  • Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system**** compatible—allowing the system to manage the moisture in your home’s air for greater comfort and improved indoor air quality

Precise Comfort™ technology

Adjustable fan speed, heat and airflow capacity in increments as small as 1% for the ultimate in temperature control.



Variable–capacity, inverter controlled operation works much like the cruise control system of high performance automobiles, automatically making adjustments as necessary. In the XP25, cooling capacity automatically adjusts up or down, based upon cooling demand, to use only the precise amount of energy needed to maintain temperature within 0.5 degrees of your thermostat setpoint.Environmental Responsibility

  • Renewable energy resource—delivers environmental benefits when upgraded to a SunSource® Home Energy System that turns solar energy into electricity for your home
  • Chlorine-free R-410A refrigerant—provides exceptional comfort without exacting a costly environmental toll

Reliable Performance

  • SilentComfort™ Outdoor Fan Motor with Composite Fan Blades—provides extremely reliable starting and running performance, even under the harshest outdoor conditions
  • PermaGuard™ Cabinet—heavy-gauge, galvanized steel construction, louver coil guard, baked-on powder finish and durable zinc-coated steel base provide long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.
  • SmartHinge™ louver design—allows quick, easy access to interior components from all sides for cleaning and maintenance. Protects coils from damage and provides clean appearance

Electric Thermal Storage

Electric Thermal Storage

Heating is a necessary expenditure, but with a Steffes electric thermal storage (ETS) heating solution paying too much is never necessary. ETS systems are the alternative to high electricity bills and inefficient heating systems. No matter how big your home or how cold the temperature outside: Steffes has the ideal residential ETS heating solution for your needs.

Room Units


Non-ducted heaters are designed to heat the room or area into which they are placed. Room Units are ideal for new construction applications, retrofits or a supplement to an existing heating system.

Steffes ETS Forced Air Unit

Forced Air Furnaces


Centrally ducted furnaces are designed to be the main heating system (forced air) for residential or small commercial applications. They can be used as a stand-alone furnace or installed with a heat pump  for greater efficiency and energy savings.

Benefits of ETS Residential Heating Systems

The most appealing benefit of an ETS home heating system is significant cost savings. The average homeowner with a Steffes ETS system enjoys a savings of 40 to 70 percent on their annual heating bills. In dollar form, that equates to an average savings of $500 to $2,000 each year depending on house size and other factors.

Smart homeowners know that a shrewd short-term investment pays off in the future with long-term rewards. For most homeowners the cost of upgrading to an ETS system more than pays for itself after just a few years (5-years or less). Beyond these impressive savings, a Steffes heating system also offers you these great benefits:

  • Great comfort and reliability
  • No routine maintenance
  • The ability to customize your system based on your unique needs
  • Improve heat pump comfort and operating efficiencies
  • The ability to store renewable power (solar, wind, etc.)
  • Smart grid and smart metering technology for additional control, efficiency and cost savings
  • And all the other Benefits of Off-Peak Heating

Why You Save Money with ETS Home Heating Systems

ETS systems are smarter and more efficient than traditional heating systems. Through the use of high-density ceramic bricks, ETS systems are capable of generating and storing heat during low-cost off-peak hours. Based on the settings you choose, this stored heat is dispersed throughout your home or small business as needed. So, while you may be using the majority of your electricity during peak billing hours, you’ll actually be paying non-peak billing prices because the energy was stored during low-cost times.

All residential heating systems offered by Steffes require no routine servicing and come with a 5-year limited parts warranty. With less maintenance requirements, you’ll save even more money and avoid the headaches that come with other heating solutions.
