YORK® product
YORK® YXV
The YXV is York's flagship: a variable-capacity, communicating air conditioner rated up to 21 SEER and ENERGY STAR certified. It modulates output to match the exact load, holding temperature and humidity nearly flat through 100-degree Leander afternoons while running quieter than single-stage units. It's the right call for owners planning to stay put — we'll run the honest payback numbers for your home.
Factory-authorized
YORK® YXV
The YXV is York's flagship air conditioner: a variable-capacity scroll compressor that modulates output to match the load moment by moment, rated up to 21 SEER (20 SEER2) and qualified ENERGY STAR Most Efficient. Where a single-stage unit swings the temperature and a two-stage unit steps it, the YXV holds it — through a 102° Leander afternoon, the indoor line on a thermostat graph barely moves.
The supporting technology is genuinely useful rather than brochure filler: ClimaTrak and Climate Set let us tune the system's behavior for a humid Central Texas profile at commissioning; Charge Assurance gives a direct readout that the refrigerant charge is right (the single most common install error in this trade); and the QuietDrive package — swept-wing fan, composite base, sound cloak — keeps it at a dishwasher-quiet 53 dBA.
This is a communicating system, and it deserves a communicating install: matched variable-speed indoor equipment, the Hx3 control, and commissioning against York's documented spec. That's precisely the work a factory-authorized dealer exists to do, and we put it in writing at a flat rate.
Every install starts with a free in-home assessment and a flat written price — no surprises. Call 512-528-4258 or request service online.

Who this model fits
- Owners staying put for the long haul who want the best comfort and the lowest operating cost York builds.
- Homes with humidity complaints, hot rooms, or zoning plans — variable capacity plus the Hx3 zoning system is the strongest fix we install.
- High-runtime households where ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status unlocks the strongest utility-incentive positioning.
Warranty
- York: lifetime compressor limited warranty and 10-year parts limited warranty (with registration).
- MLD Services: lifetime workmanship warranty — if our install or repair work ever fails, we make it right.
York's extended warranty terms require online registration within 90 days of installation — otherwise parts coverage reverts to 5 years. We register every unit we install as part of the job, so you never have to think about it.
The honest note
The YXV costs real money, and we'll show you the payback math against the YXT before you sign — for some usage patterns the two-stage tier is the smarter buy, and we'd rather tell you that up front.
From the field
Owning this system in Central Texas
A YXV should be commissioned with Climate Set configured for our humid profile and Charge Assurance verified — we leave the readout in your install packet. If you ever get a second opinion on service, insist the tech reads the communicating fault history first; guess-and-swap parts changing is how premium systems get ruined.
Budget-wise, plan on the matched system: AVV or JMVT indoor unit and the Hx3 control are part of the real price, and we quote them together. The reward is a system that idles along at 25–40% capacity for most of the summer, which is where the efficiency and comfort numbers come from.
