The Next Generation

We're continuing our mission to provide cutting-edge technology with unmatched value by introducing three tiers of Alpha Class—ECO SERIES, PRO SERIES, and EXTREME SERIES.
Eco Series

Operable to 10ºF

100% Capacity at 47ºF

eco
PRO Series

Low-Ambient: Operable to 0ºF

100% Capacity at 47ºF

pro
Extreme Series

Ultra Low-Ambient:
Operable to -20ºF

100% Capacity at 5ºF

extreme
ECO SERIES and PRO SERIES represent different configurations of Alpha Class you already know and love. 
EXTREME SERIES is a completely new tier of performance and is the most innovative and state-of-the-art commercial rooftop unit ever created.
With EXTREME SERIES, we've re-engineered the refrigeration system to deliver unmatched Ultra Low Ambient performance, even in harsh conditions. By rethinking compressor operation, we've increased efficiency and expanded the system's capabilities.
Award-winning design, certified technology.

Renowned cabinet design and construction

Standard two-inch rigid polyurethane foam-injected panels have a thermal resistance R-value of 16 or greater, exceeding that of a cabinet with four-inch fiberglass construction. This retains useful heating to the building instead of wasting it through the cabinet.

Wide range of available capacities

AAON Alpha Class air-source heat pumps are available from 2-70 tons.
dualfuel icon

Dual Fuel

DF

In addition to the 100% electric configuration, AAON provides the option to select a supplemental gas heater to provide heat in situations that require it. The gas heat is used simultaneously with electric heat, only in extremely low ambient temperatures, greatly reducing overall fossil fuel usage while providing comfort in all conditions.

economizer-icon

Economizer Option

Up to 100% airflow economizer dampers provide energy-saving, free conditioning when conditions meet setpoint values. This feature also provides ventilation air under all conditions to meet indoor air quality requirements with fresh outside air.
speed fan

Variable speed fans

Variable speed supply fans and variable speed outdoor fans provide high performance heat pump heating and cooling airflow. Variable speed control allows for energy savings at reduced airflow.
Compressors

Variable speed compressors

These operate with the highest part load efficiencies over any other compressor technology and provide precise temperature and humidity control. Specific controls protect the compressor by ensuring it operates within the safety of the compressor operating envelope.
