YORK® product
YORK® YH2E
The YH2E is the value heat pump in York's lineup — single-stage, rated 14.3 SEER2 for cooling and 8.0 HSPF2 for heating. For Leander-area homes replacing an aging AC-plus-furnace pair, it consolidates both jobs into one efficient system at an accessible price. Federal credits and utility rebates often apply to qualifying heat pumps; we'll point you at the current programs during the quote.

YORK® YH2E
The YH2E is the value entry in York's heat pump lineup, rated 14.3 SEER2 cooling and 8.0 HSPF2 heating to meet the current Department of Energy minimums. A detail the price tag doesn't advertise: every size except the 1.5-ton uses a two-stage compressor, so most installs get staged operation — longer, gentler low-stage runs — at single-stage money.
For Leander-area homes replacing an aging AC-plus-furnace pair, the YH2E consolidates both jobs into one electric system. It can also be configured dual-fuel with a York gas furnace, using the heat pump for our many mild winter hours and switching to gas only when a hard freeze demands it — we set that switchover point during commissioning.
Federal tax credits and utility rebates frequently apply to qualifying heat pump installs; we flag the current programs during the quote so the incentives are part of your real price, not an afterthought.
Every install starts with a free in-home assessment and a flat written price — no surprises. Call 512-528-4258 or request service online.

From the field
Owning this system in Central Texas
The hidden feature to exploit: every size but the 1.5-ton has a two-stage compressor, so ask us to configure the thermostat to actually use both stages — some installs never wire the second stage and leave comfort on the table.
In heating season, expect the outdoor unit to run long and occasionally steam during defrost — normal heat pump behavior that surprises first-time owners. Our maintenance plan checks defrost operation and backup-heat staging each fall so February never becomes a surprise.
Where it sits in the line: the YHG above it adds ENERGY STAR certification and demand defrost; the Affinity tiers add staging refinement and lifetime compressor coverage. The YH2E's job is delivering current-code heat pump economics at the lowest entry price — and with the hidden two-stage compressor on most sizes, it does that with more grace than its price tag suggests.
