The 5 Series 500A11

The perfect balance
5 series The perfect balance

The 5 Series represents some of our best features and efficiencies yet. The 500A11 is a versatile geothermal heat pump that's available in dual capacity in a range of sizes and configurations for convenient installation in any home. No matter what climate you live in, your WaterFurnace system will deliver.

Whole Home Comfort
One System for Whole Home Comfort

The 5 Series 500A11 provides forced air heating, air conditioning, and even generates a portion of your home's hot water — all from a single unit. You'll experience a level of comfort and savings that's far greater than any ordinary system without the risks of utilizing fossil fuels.

Amazing Efficiency
Dual capacity for Amazing Efficiency

While traditional conditioning systems typically run at one speed, the 500A11 operates in two speeds — high and low for greater comfort and efficiency. It'll run most often in low speed to keep your home consistent and efficient but will switch over to high speed in instances where the home needs more conditioning.

Comfortable from anywhere
Comfortable from anywhere

Imagine a platform that can provide detailed feedback of your system in real-time and the tools to control it all from any web-enabled smart phone, tablet, or computer. That's Symphony. Receive alerts and service reminders via email, text message, and in-app notifications — for you and your contractor.

More than efficient

The 5 Series surpasses 30.0 EER in cooling and 5.0 COP in heating. Thanks to the consistent temperature of the earth, geothermal is more than twice as efficient at cooling than any ordinary heat pump or air conditioner and more than five times as efficient at heating than any traditional fossil fuel furnace.

One unit, many functions
One unit, many functions

WaterFurnace geothermal heat pumps provide forced air heating, air conditioning, and can even generate a portion of your home's hot water — all from a single unit. One piece of equipment replaces your outdated fossil fuel furnace and loud inefficient outdoor air conditioner.

AlpinePure Ionization

In a few short minutes, your self-cleaning AlpinePure® Ionization System can be mounted and wired according to local and national electrical codes by a certified professional. The AlpinePure Ionization System boosts MERV filter performance by four rating points, which is up to eight times1 better than a typical MERV 11 filter, so you'll be breathing in clean, safe air before you know it.

Hot water assist
Hot water assist

With an optional hot water assist, the 5 Series preheats your water and delivers it to your water heater. A sophisticated microprocessor controls and monitors heat pump conditions and determines when there is excess heat available to route to the hot water heater. This allows you to utilize heat in the most efficient way possible.
