be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning, Heating and
Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched.  

NOTE: 

Installation of

unmatched systems is not allowed.

Outdoor units are approved for operation above 55°F in cooling
mode.  Operation below 55°F in cooling mode requires the use
of an approved low ambient kit.

that is not complete (either as part of new construction or reno-
vation) is not covered under the warranty.
