Lennox launched a new residential heat pump designed for compact homes, the company announced on Monday. 

What they’re saying: “The Side Discharge Heat Pump gives homeowners in zero-lot-line or narrow-lot homes access to a high-efficiency heat pump without needing extra space,” said Sarah Martin, president of Lennox’s residential division. 

Zoom in: The company touts the product as having a SEER2 rating of up to 19, “sound levels as low as 54 decibels,” per the announcement, and compatibility with several of its smart thermostats. Go deeper

The big picture: The move comes nearly one month after Lennox struck a joint venture with Italian manufacturer Ariston Group to launch a line of residential, Lennox-branded water heaters in the U.S. early next year.
