Comparable Models by Luxaire

Model Comparison by Features

When compared to the LX Series TC4, another entry-level unit from Luxaire, the LX Series TC7 stands out thanks to its impressive features. Although a number of their components are similar, the ENERGY STAR-certified TC7 is able to offer Canadian consumers a superior SEER performance rating of up to 17, compared to the TC4's rating of up to 14. Additionally, the LX Series TC7 is available in single- or three-phase operation depending on the size of your home.

Model Comparison by Price

Both the LX Series TC7 and the lesser TC4 are available to Canadian homeowners at a relatively similar price point. Despite this, it's fairly clear that the LX Series TC7 can garner greater savings in the long-term thanks to its superior efficiency rating.

Model Comparison by Tier

Although the Luxaire LX Series TC7 boasts an impressive SEER performance rating, despite its limited single-stage operation, it doesn't come with any notable innovations. When compared to one of Luxaire's premium Acclimate(TM) Series units, the TC7 makes the most of what it has but lacks the necessary tools to exceed expectations.
