How it Works
Draws energy from the sun
During peak daylight hours, the
SunSource Comfort System gets help
from a solar panel to heat and cool
your home. It uses renewable solar
energy to power the outdoor fan
motor, reducing the utility-provided
electricity needed for operation. The
solar-assist increases the system
efficiency, reducing the power
consumed by as much as 8%.
*Based on improved temperature control offered
by two-stage compressor operation.

Solar by day. Electric by night. Savings all year.
Taking a step to conserve energy with a SunSource Comfort System can save you
hundreds of dollars on your utility bills every year.
A SunSource Comfort System makes use of all available solar energy to reduce
electric consumption—full sun is not a requirement. On days with limited sun
exposure, the SunSource Comfort System continues to operate efficiently using
metered electricity provided by your power company.
Heating and
Air Conditioning
That means no matter where you live, the SunSource Comfort System is a viable
renewable energy solution that can make a positive change in your home
environment…and global environment.
