Looking for a high-efficiency central heat pump that can actually handle freezing winters, scorching summers, and rising energy bills?
The TOSOT APEX Series deserves a serious look. Manufactured by Gree (one of the world's largest HVAC innovators), the APEX is a unitary central ducted heat pump designed as a modern furnace replacement for traditional furnaces and AC systems.
Why Homeowners Are Switching to Heat Pumps
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Improved comfort and humidity control
- Quieter operation
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Utility rebates and federal tax incentives
- Reliable heating even in sub-zero temperatures
As energy costs continue to rise, more homeowners are moving away from traditional gas furnaces and outdated AC systems in favor of energy-efficient heat pumps.
Why Choose the TOSOT APEX Cold Climate Heat Pump?
- All-Weather Performance
Powered by UltraHeat™ and UltraCool™ technologies, it maintains 100% heating capacity at -4°F and 100% cooling capacity at 115°F, with an operating range from -22°F to 130°F—ideal for both freezing winters and scorching summers.
- Outstanding Energy Efficiency
The 5-ton model reaches up to 18.5 SEER2 / 10.5 HSPF2, offering up to 3× the efficiency of traditional gas furnaces. Under optimal conditions, it achieves a COP of 11.6, helping reduce energy costs while minimizing environmental impact.
- Whisper-Quiet Operation
The outdoor unit operates at under 58 dB, ensuring a quiet and comfortable living environment without disruptive noise.
- Compact, Space-Saving Design
The slim side-discharge structure takes up about half the space of conventional units, making it easier to install in tight outdoor areas.
- Durable, Weather-Resistant Build
Equipped with a gold-fin condenser and a 3-layer anti-corrosion coating, the APEX is built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and extend system lifespan.
- Reliable Cold-Climate Operation
Dual electric heating belts and intelligent defrost sensors enhance winter performance, ensuring smooth startups and reducing ice buildup for consistent operation with minimal maintenance.
- Effortless installation and total peace of mind
The air handler fits horizontally or vertically in attics, basements, or closets.
Technical Deep Dive: What Powers the APEX？
At its core, the APEX uses a triple-cylinder, two-stage inverter compressor with Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI). Instead of constantly turning on and off like traditional systems, it adjusts output in real time for better efficiency, faster temperature control, and improved humidity balance.
In cold weather, EVI boosts heating performance, while a smart defrost system reduces interruptions. A brushless DC fan motor further improves airflow while lowering noise and energy use—delivering high-end comfort without the high-end cost
