Residential Ice Bear 20: This unit, designed for medium to large residential properties, acts as an all-in-one AC and thermal energy storage device—replacing traditional residential condensing units. With up to 5 tons of AC cooling capacity and the ability to work with both ductless and ducted systems, this is a go-to option to save money by shifting electricity use away from peak into off-peak periods. Like its commercial counterpart, the Ice Bear 20 has a smart grid controller and mobile connectivity options.
