A form of mechanical heating and cooling that utilizes a circulating refrigerant to remove and reject heat. In heating mode, the heat pump removes heat from outside and rejects it into the structure to increase the temperature of the space. In cooling mode, the heat pump removes heat from inside the structure and rejects it outside to decrease the temperature of the space. Heat pump technology has come a long way since first invented. Newer-style heat pumps have high energy conservation ratings and can operate efficiently even at really cold outside temperatures.

Q: Do heat pumps have an energy rating?

Yes, heat pumps do have energy ratings. The two most important ratings to look at when choosing a heat pump system are the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating and the HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) rating. The SEER rating is used to measure how much cooling a system achieves for the amount of energy used. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the air conditioning mode of the unit is. Alternatively, the HSPF rating is used to measure the BTU of heat output over the heating season against the electricity used. Again, the higher the HSPF rating, the more energy efficient the heating mode of the unit is.

Q: How much does a heat pump cost?

There are many factors that can affect the price of a heat pump. For example, the required size of the heat pump, the type and brand name of the system you choose and the location of your units (both indoors and outdoors).
