Heat pumps can be a smart and energy efficient HVAC solution no matter where you live, but they’re especially popular in the South or Southwest where temperatures rarely dip below freezing. Even if you live in colder areas of the country, a heat pump may be the right choice for your home when matched with a furnace or other electric heating device. This way, your home will continue to stay warm on the coldest days and run more efficiently for the bulk of the season.

<em>AT WHAT TEMPERATURE ARE HEAT PUMPS MOST EFFECTIVE?</em>

<p class="has-text-align-center has-charcoal-color has-text-color has-text-16-font-size" id="at-what-temperature-are-heat-pumps-most-effective" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:500"><em>AT WHAT TEMPERATURE ARE HEAT PUMPS MOST EFFECTIVE?</em></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center mt-0 mb-4 has-text-28-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">Wide range of temperatures</h3>

A heat pump is effective on its own at all temperatures, because of its ability to use a gas furnace or an air handler with supplemental electric heat when temperatures drop to help heat your home. The most efficient heat pumps, like the Trane XV20i, can operate in temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center mt-0 mb-4 has-text-28-font-size" style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">Energy efficiency</h3>

The main advantage of a heat pump is energy efficiency. Heat pumps extract heat from the air and move it, creating a comfortable space regardless of the outdoor temperature. In the summer, a heat pump acts just like an air conditioner and has similar energy output and efficiency based on the model you choose. During the winter, it reverses to pull heat from the air outside and move it inside.*

acf/blockaccordion

<p class="leading-normal has-text-18-font-size">The cost to purchase and install a heat pump is usually very similar to a furnace with an air conditioner. There are some exceptions to this and your local Trane dealer can look at your home and help suggest what system is best.</p>

Heat pump operating costs

<p class="leading-normal has-text-18-font-size">A heat pump has similar operating costs to an air conditioner in the cooling season. During the heating season, the operating costs for a heat pump can be much lower than a traditional furnace.</p>

Heat pump longevity

<p class="leading-normal has-text-18-font-size">The average lifespan of a heat pump is generally 15 years.</p>
