New Champion LX Series Packaged Units from Johnson Controls Deliver Combination of Reliability, Energy Efficiency and Comfort



Quality construction features contractor-friendly design for easy installation and service



MILWAUKEE –  New Champion LX Series packaged units from Johnson Controls combine outstanding performance, reliability and efficiency to heat and cool residential and light commercial buildings. Employing advanced product engineering and manufacturing processes, along with rigorous quality and field testing, the units feature a contractor-friendly design that ensures simplified installation, setup and servicing and a 14 Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating that exceeds U.S. Department of Energy efficiency standards.



“The LX Series is the first product launched under the new Champion brand, drawing upon more than 140 years of HVAC experience and Johnson Control’s industry-leading HVAC manufacturing facilities, robust product development and rigorous testing processes,” said Liz Haggerty, vice president and general manager, Johnson Controls Unitary Products Group. “The result of more than 65,000 hours of customer research and product design and testing, the Champion packaged unit is optimized for efficiency to help ensure customer satisfaction with new standards in performance, installation and serviceability.”

A compact size that fits most roof frames and slabs and exact-match gas and electric hookups save time during installation and setup of the LX Series. Serviceability is enhanced thanks to front and top access to the compressor, refrigeration controls and blower, along with top access to the condenser fan and motor and side access to the compressor, coil, heat exchanger and filters. Contractors will also appreciate a standardized design that ensures performance, simplifies repairs and reduces the number of replacement parts they must carry in inventory and on service trucks.



Champion LX Series packaged units feature:



Optimized heating and cooling solution for residential and light commercial buildings

Single-cabinet design versus previous three-cabinet model

Tested copper tube/aluminum fin condenser coils that combine an outstanding heat transfer rate with long-term reliability and corrosion resistance

Extensive laboratory testing simulates more than 20 years of operational performance to verify component performance during weather events, humidity levels, under/over voltage and temperatures down to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the cabinet’s 1,000-hour salt spray rating ensures an exterior finish with a superior appearance and outstanding corrosion protection.



The 2- to 5-ton capacity units are currently available in cooling with gas heat configuration. Additional configurations, including cooling with electric heat, heat pumps with electric heat and heat pumps with gas heat, will be phased in over 2015.
