Why Upgrade

Why Replace Your PTAC
with the NextGen PTHP?

Standard PTACs haven't changed in decades. The Ephoca NextGen PTHP is a direct drop-in replacement engineered with technology that closes every gap.

Traditional PTAC Unit
Traditional PTAC

Conventional Unit

  • Loud operation — 55–60 dBA, disruptive to occupants
  • Poor air sealing — drafts, infiltration, and energy loss
  • Low efficiency — fixed-speed compressor, high energy costs
  • No fresh air recovery — stale recirculated room air only
  • Outdated refrigerants — non-compliant with AIM Act timelines
  • Basic thermostat only — no BMS, Wi-Fi, or smart integration

Key Features

Elevate Your Building's
In-Room Comfort

Engineered for residential buildings, hotels, and multi-family properties that demand better performance from every unit — without wall sleeve replacement.

Twin-Rotary BLDC Inverter

Variable-speed inverter compressor modulates output continuously — maintaining precise temperatures while slashing energy consumption compared to fixed-speed PTACs.

Integrated ERV Fresh Air

Slide-out ERV core delivers up to 50 CFM of preconditioned outdoor air — recovering energy from exhaust for ventilation that doesn't penalize efficiency.

Recovery+ Technology

Leverages exhaust air to precondition the condenser — boosting both heating and cooling performance without additional energy input.

Smart Controls & BMS Integration

Onboard touchscreen, BACnet/Modbus interface, Wi-Fi app control, and third-party thermostat compatibility. Integrates with central building management systems.

MERV 13 Filtration

Accessible MERV 13 filters for both room air and outside-air circuits — plus optional self-cleaning coils for reduced maintenance burden on building staff.

R-32 Low-GWP Refrigerant

Ships with R-32 — a next-generation A2L refrigerant with a GWP of 675, meeting AIM Act requirements and positioning buildings ahead of refrigerant mandates.

What Clients Say

Property Managers
Trust Denair

★★★★★

"Night and day difference from the old PTACs. Tenants stopped calling about noise and temperature complaints the first week. Denair's crew was meticulous — you'd never know they were in the units."

— Building Manager, Upper West Side NYC
★★★★★

"The BACnet integration with our existing BMS was seamless. We now have per-unit monitoring for the whole building from one dashboard. Exactly what we needed for LL97 compliance reporting."

— Facility Director, Brooklyn Mixed-Use Property
★★★★★

"We replaced 60 units across three buildings. Denair scheduled the whole project around occupied tenants, kept disruption minimal, and finished a week ahead of schedule. Would not use anyone else."

— Asset Manager, Queens Residential Portfolio
Proven Results

Ephoca in the Field —
NYC Projects by Denair

Every project is a long-term commitment. Here's what that looks like in practice across New York City's residential and mixed-use portfolio.

Residential High-Rise
Upper West Side, Manhattan

212-Unit Luxury Residential Tower

A 28-story residential tower built in 1987 was experiencing chronic noise complaints, rising energy costs, and aging PTAC units that required constant maintenance. The property manager needed a zero-disruption replacement that wouldn't require structural modifications to wall sleeves.

212Units Replaced
34%Energy Cost Reduction
11 DaysProject Duration
Zero structural modifications. Tenant noise complaints dropped to zero within 30 days. BACnet integration enabled full central monitoring from building management office.

"Denair ran the whole project around our occupied units. We had tenants that never even knew work was happening on their floor. The energy savings showed up in the first full billing cycle."

— Director of Facilities, Upper West Side Residential Portfolio
Mixed-Use Development
Long Island City, Queens

340-Unit Mixed-Use LL97 Retrofit

A newly constructed mixed-use tower in Long Island City selected Ephoca NextGen PTHPs to meet NYC Local Law 97 carbon emission targets from day one. The developer needed BMS integration, R-32 refrigerant compliance, and Energy Star certification documentation.

340Units Installed
LL97Compliant Day 1
$84KConEd Incentives
Full BACnet/Modbus integration with 75F BMS platform. Denair secured $84,000 in ConEd rebates. Building is tracking 41% below LL97 2030 carbon caps.

"We spec'd Ephoca for LL97 compliance, but the ERV performance and BMS integration sealed it. Denair handled the ConEd paperwork completely — that alone saved us weeks."

— Asset Manager, Queens Mixed-Use Development
Hotel Renovation
Midtown, Manhattan

185-Room Boutique Hotel — Full PTAC Fleet Replacement

A 12-story boutique hotel in Midtown underwent a phased PTAC replacement during off-peak occupancy windows. Guest complaints about HVAC noise had become a recurring issue in online reviews. The hotel needed sub-30 dBA operation, seamless Wi-Fi control, and a unit that matched the renovated room aesthetic.

185 rooms completed in 3 phases over 6 weeks, working exclusively during low-occupancy windows. HVAC noise mentions in guest reviews dropped by 94% in the 90 days post-installation.

"Our guests went from complaining about the HVAC to not knowing it was there. Denair's coordination with our front desk on room scheduling was flawless."
