to allow condensate water generated during defrost cycles
to drain into the specified drain system.
Unit shall have a concealed switch to allow heat pump
operation to be overridden and heat provided by electric
resistance heaters regardless of outdoor temperatures.
Heat pump unit shall have Reverse Cycle (hot gas) Defrost
system to maximize heat pump operation and minimize
energy consumption.
To minimize energy consumption, units shall have electric
heaters locked out when outdoor temperatures are above
46°F. Heating will be provided by heat pump operation only.
