Built for better living, every season
Every feature in the Vanguard is designed to make your home more comfortable, more efficient, and healthier — without adding complexity to your life.
Powerful heat when it matters most
While most mini splits struggle in deep winter, the Vanguard keeps delivering — 13,600 BTU at 5°F, 11,000 BTU at 17°F. Heating mode operates down to -13°F, so even your largest living spaces stay warm through the coldest nights.
Lower energy bills, every single month
At 24 SEER2 — among the highest efficiency ratings in this category — the Vanguard draws measurably less power than competing 18,000 BTU units rated at 19–21.5 SEER2. Energy Star and AHRI certified, so the savings are real, not estimated.
Whole-room comfort, without the noise
30 dB(A) minimum indoor operation — impressively quiet for a unit capable of conditioning 1,000 sq ft. Whether you're entertaining, cooking, or relaxing, the Vanguard stays in the background.
Control your climate from anywhere
Adjust temperature, set schedules, and switch modes from your smartphone. Works with Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free voice control. A backlit remote with 24-hour timer means it works without Wi-Fi too.
Cleaner air, without the maintenance headaches
High-temp self-clean heats the coil to sterilizing temperature, eliminating mold and bacteria at the source — no service call required. Filter change alerts and built-in self-diagnosis keep everything running at its best.
Ready to install. Nothing left to source.
Ships complete with a 25 ft pre-charged line set, wall mounting bracket, outdoor pad, and washable dust filter. No refrigerant tank needed on site. Professional installation required.
