York YZV (Affinity)
The York YZV (Affinity) is York's top-tier variable-capacity heat pump, built to heat and cool a Toronto home from a single outdoor unit. It uses a variable-speed scroll compressor to run at exactly the output your house needs, so it holds steady temperatures, runs quietly, and carries a lifetime limited compressor warranty. For GTA homeowners who want one efficient system instead of a separate furnace and AC, it sits at the high end of the comfort and efficiency range.

York YZV (Affinity) — FAQ
Will a York YZV heat pump keep up through a Toronto winter?
It's a variable-capacity heat pump rated 9.0 HSPF2, so it carries the heating load efficiently through most of the GTA's cold season by modulating its output to match demand. For the coldest stretches, heat pumps are commonly paired with a backup heat source. We'll size the unit to your home and confirm the right backup setup during the in-home assessment so you're covered on the coldest days.
How efficient is it, and what do the numbers mean?
The YZV is rated at 19+ SEER2 (up to 21 SEER) for cooling and 9.0 HSPF2 for heating, and it's ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certified. SEER2 measures cooling efficiency and HSPF2 measures heating efficiency — higher is better on both. The variable-capacity compressor is what lets it hold these efficiency numbers in real-world use, since it spends most of its time running at low, efficient speeds rather than cycling full-on and off.
What size do I need?
The YZV comes in 2 to 5 ton sizes. The right one depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and layout — not a rule of thumb. We do a load calculation during the in-home visit so the unit is matched to your house. An oversized heat pump short-cycles and an undersized one struggles, so this step matters for both comfort and efficiency.
Is there a rebate, and what's the warranty?
Heat pumps qualify for the rebate available under Ontario's current home-efficiency program, applied for through a program-registered contractor — we'll confirm what your installation qualifies for before you commit. On warranty, the YZV carries a lifetime limited compressor warranty plus a 10-year limited parts warranty when the unit is registered after install. We handle the registration so the parts coverage is in place.
