Heat Pump Packaged Systems

A heat pump uses the outside air to efficiently heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. Unlike a furnace, a heat pump doesn’t burn fuel to make heat. It simply uses electricity to move heat from one place to another, making it a greener, more energy efficient solution.

SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio. This industry rating measures the averaged annual energy efficiency of your system operating over the entire cooling season. A higher SEER means your cooling system is more energy efficient. You can learn more about SEER here.

HSPF stands for heating seasonal performance factor. This industry rating measures the averaged annual energy efficiency your heat pump operating in heating mode during the fall and winter heating season. A higher HSPF means your heat pump is more energy efficient. You can learn more about HSFP here.

Choosing a heat pump or furnace depends on where you live. Heat pumps can be a smart and energy-conscious option if you live in an area with mild winters that rarely dip below freezing, like the Southeast or Southwest United States. In these locations, a heat pump can both heat and cool your home comfortably and efficiently. If the temperature often dips below freezing in your area, a furnace will be the better option as it will continue to work efficiently during big freezes.
